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 HEROESAs 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.'
