I'm very happy Neo Geo games have finally been confirmed for North America. I can't see why it wouldn't happen but I was wondering what the hold back was.
One of my friends in high school had a Neo Geo system, so I actually got to play many a Neo Geo game with him and at the numerous Neo Geo machines peppered around the area. Magician Lord, Cyber Lib, Crossed Swords, World Heroes, Super 8 Man, King of the Monsters, the Samurai Showdown series and a few whos names I can't remember... So many great games and good times. I'm sure some many won't hold up as well today but the prospect of playing some of these again on my Wii is very exciting. I'm not surprised that the first games announced are fighters as that's probably what SNK is known best for. But they made all kinds of other games that at the time were pretty much priced out of anyone's range.
I'm also glad that the price is under $10, unlike Japan's $12.
