Whilst Neo Geo games have been announced for the US Virtual Console, nothing official has been made as to a release in European territories. That is, until now.

Nintendo officially announced today that games from SNK's infamous Neo Geo console will soon be released on the European Virtual Console. As SNK announced last month in the US, the first games available will include the likes of Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and the Art of Fighting.

The titles will debut at 900 Wii Points each. No release date for the games was given, but we can only hope that they are coming soon.

Wii's Virtual Console Takes You To The Arcade

-NEOGEO classic Arcade Games coming to European Virtual Console!-

1st October 2007 – The retro hits just keep coming with Wii’s Virtual Console with over 140 titles currently available to download. Soon Wii owners will be able to re-experience the greatest arcade games of the 90s with a selection of releases from the NEOGEO. These will join classic games from Nintendo, SEGA and Turbografx already available on Wii Virtual Console.

NEOGEO launched in 1990 and featured advanced 2D graphics and high quality sound similar to that found in arcade machines at the time. Available at a relatively high price point, the NEOGEO AES (Advanced Entertainment System) was a cult product available to only a small number of gamers but now Wii owners can own these classic hits thanks to Virtual Console. Release of these titles will be handled by D4 Enterprise Inc. headquartered in Tokyo.

The first NEOGEO title to launch on Wii will be the critically acclaimed Fatal Fury, SNK’s oldest fighting game dating from 1991. This will be followed by two other retro fighting games from 1992, World Heroes and Art of Fighting. These will be joined by more titles in the near future.

So look out for great games from NEOGEO which will be making their way onto Wii’s Virtual Console and will be available to download for 900 Wii Points.

I know I'm not on the European network, but I really hope for Garou, Neo Drift Out, the Metal Slug series, and The Last Blade series on the Neo-Geo VC. Although I doubt the Metal Slug games will, considering the anthology has already been released for Wii.
