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.

$9 for NeoGeo games?
Gimme gimme gimme!

Hopefully, Samurai Shodown 2 will pop up soon.

if the wiis VC was on the ps3 it would have much better graphics

Better graphics? The games contain the original graphics, you don't need better hardware on the Wii.

Well given the VC is an emulator, more than likely the games would look the same as they did on their original platform... Or at least thats the goal of just about every emulator I've ever heard of.

You, like most "fanbois" have the heart, but lack the brains.

[PS3Fanboy]

no its just because the wii only has crap graphics only the ps3 can handle good graphics thats why VC should be on ps3.

and i hate it that all the great game series like mario, star fox and zelda are wasted on nintendo. if they where on the ps3 they would have much better graphics and it would make them so much better because every one knows games with bad graphics suck. thats why only hardcore gamers play the ps3 not the crappy 360 and wii

and the DS and psp are a joke. why would people want to play games with n64 and ps2 graphics. its just stupid.

They would almost have to, or at the very least nintendo could allow us to play our vc content from the sd card :(
My Vc is already full, There are about twelve games I cant even play that are backed to my sd. 500 megs just isnt enough.

User Gold Line is having a week away from the forums to think about whether or not it's funny to make up troll character accounts and posting junk over the forums. Isn't it great what the admin panel can tell you?

hahaha wow. gl.. get a life maybe?
anywho you'd think it'd be no biggie to make an update that allows vc to boot from sd.. id still prefer a hard drive though.

Ive heard that the reasons they wont do it via the sd card slot is it would allow an
opening for homebrew. Still if they come out with a hard drive, I will be the first in line :thumbup:

Actually I knew it since yesterday. I posted in in the mod forum in fact... I just thought the multi personality disorder was sort of entertaining... that and I didnt know what our policy was on morons who make multiple accounts for no reason.

Im still in shock about Gl though. I never saw that coming. Still the proof is in the pudding, He got what he deserved.
