World Heroes Anthology Announced for PS2

via 1UP

Like many of the Neo-Geo fighting crop (Samurai Showdown not included), the World Heroes series has some mixed reactions in this day and age. For example, its Virtual Console debut got a less than favorable mark from resident retro expert Jeremy Parish.

Nevertheless, SNK Playmore announced today that a compilation would be coming our way entitled World Heroes Anthology, the American counterpart to the recently released Japanese World Heroes Gorgeous. Why would they change that name?

At any rate, the collection includes World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet, and World Heroes Perfect, and it will be available in spring of 2008. No price has been slated for the anthology as of yet; but at $9 a pop for Neo-Geo games on Wii, a budget price of $40 for the disc seems comparable.
