The Playstation 3 is pretty much the place to go for downloadable NEOGEO games thanks to SNK's NEOGEO Station label. Not only does the Station offer a broader selection of NEOGEO classics than the 360 or Wii, but it's even got a massive sale going on right now. Through September 25, 16 classic NEOGEO games are available for half off their regular prices, making them just $4.49 each. This includes at least four co-op classics: Alpha Mission II, Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, and Shock Troopers.
The full list of SNK NEOGEO Station Games in the End of Summer Sale:
- ALPHA MISSION II
- ART OF FIGHTING
- BASEBALL STARS 2
- BASEBALL STARS PROFESSIONAL
- FATAL FURY
- LEAGUE BOWLING
- MAGICIAN LORD
- METAL SLUG
- METAL SLUG 2
- SAMURAI SHODOWN
- SHOCK TROOPERS
- SUPER SIDEKICKS
- THE KING OF FIGHTERS '94
- THE KING OF FIGHTERS '95
- THE KING OF FIGHTERS '96
- WORLD HEROES
As you can see, SNK clearly doesn't believe in lowercase letters. Bolded titles offer local and online 2-player co-op. Even the single-player games on the list tend to be great though.
Each game normally costs $8.99 on Playstation 3 and is marked down to $4.49 for the duration of the sale. For even better savings, a 10 Games Bundle Pack will run you $39.99. The PSP versions of these games are also on sale for $3.49, down from $6.99.
The sale lasts until September 25, so get cracking, NEOGEO fans! I leave you now with Keith Apicary's 'Neo Geo Song.'
