Meet Elta, the last of the magician lords. He's eager to get back to defusing the Gul-Agieze's doomsday plot, and, thanks to the teeny-tiny Neo Geo system stowed inside Nintendo's Wii, he can. Yes, the dormant powers of the most garish console of its time will be unlocked at last: Neo Geo emulated on Virtual Console! (We knew it was coming; now it's just a little closer...)

Nintendo has confirmed three Neo Geo titles for the Japanese VC, including the aforementioned Magician Lord (the console's original pack-in game), alleged "Street Fighter ripoff" World Heroes, and ever-rereleased Fatal Fury. (Both Fatal Fury and World Heroes are also available in separate PS2 anthologies this year.) Fatal Fury will launch first, on September 11th, followed by the magi and heroes later in the month. Each port will cost 900 Wii Points ($9).

Specific Neo Geo titles targeted for the North American and European VCs have yet to be revealed.

Well considering how we can already play all neogeo games up until 1999 with CDDA using the ngcd emu on Wii/GC I don't really see this as cool news , maybe if they start releasing the 2000-2003 titles it will become alot more interesting.

You are very WRONG, my boy.

Sadly most of these people using these homebrew emulators, are downloading NeoGeo games illegally. I don't think all the people here buy the cartridges and dump them. If you do it legally, then gald to hear it. But most of the people do it illegally.
