After first announcing that Neo Geo was coming to Virtual Console back in February, SNK Playmore has now revealed the first three games to be released for the service. The standard price for Neo Geo games is set at 900 Wii points.
The first game, Garou Densetsu, better known as Fatal Fury in North America, is a classic fighting game first released in 1991. SNES and Genesis versions of the SNK-developed game exist, but the Neo Geo version was the arcade original. This is the first of several Fatal Fury games, and it is scheduled to arrive on September 11.
The second game is also a fighter, this time developed by ADK. World Heroes was originally released in 1992. Much like Fatal Fury, it was released on various platforms and spawned sequels, but the Neo Geo version was the original. The game will be arriving later in September.
Finally, Magician Lord rounds out the pack. This ADK-developed fantasy-themed side-scroller first appeared in 1990 and is unique to the Neo Geo platform. Though also first appearing in the arcades, it was a pack-in game for the Neo Geo console system. Magician Lord also arrives later in September.
Currently, there are no scheduled Neo Geo game release dates for regions outside of Japan.

I don't see why they wouldn't release these over here eventually. But even then, I'd wait for KoF96 before buying anything. I'm sure they're going to release these in order.

Some Neogeo games are worth 900.

Yeah I remember . . . but still 900 points just still seems like a lot.

Yeah I see what you're saying and I agree, the whole catalog is overpriced. This just continues the trend so I shouldn't single it out.

Compared to the original price of the titles, everything on the VC is a great value. Compared to today's worth, a lot is overpriced. I think if Nintendo priced on a game-to-game basis and had a lot of the pathetic stuff priced lower, we'd see a lot more traffic in their sales. I also think Nintendo may want to start a deal-of-the-weak promotion. That's just stuff I need to add to my list. At any rate, I feel like they've got a "can't see the trees through the forest" type of attitude about the VC, in that they see the profit some of their titles make, but don't realize that less popular titles could become much more profitable at lower pricing schemes.
And they need ways to get rid of 100, 200, 300, and 400 points. I don't like sitting on inactive cash. It's not good economics-wise.
Anyways, time to go play some Raiden Jet Fighters at the student union!

I want to know where are all the neat little "bonus" stuff like Europe has like wallpaper, that is a good way to get rid of the pts.
