negative:
a) I'm not into much Neo Geo stuff
b) the best of them are already on VC.

BUT positive
a) they don't take the space of all the Neo Geo games in your RAM
b) they probably are cheaper if you want to get a load of them then on VC.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

METAL SLUG (nothing beats the Neo version)

SAMURAI SHOWDOWN (a true classic gem)

MAGICIAN LORD (good fun game, but bad art)

LAST RESORT (sweet)

BASEBALL STARS 2 (best Baseball game available on Wii)

Well if you already have that compilation you should pass, also pass on Samurai Showdown and wait till the Anthology of that comes out in Autumn. (all 6 games) I only bought it on VC because I couldn\'t bare the wait.

I am passing on this after hearing about emu issues with the PSP game (bas souund). I will now Just wait for SS Anthology on PSP and Wii at the fall.
