Sony okays NeoGeo classics; Microsoft still without a response |
Ó
Somebody just joined the classics bandwagon and that somebody is SNK! Although unlike the others who have gone first like Namco Bandai and Konami, the company is headed not to XBLA but to the new PlayStation Store. While it would be remembered that SNK indeed had Fatal Fury on Microsoft's online service, it seems that the company would like to focus now on the newly launched console."We've discussed an online delivery service for our classic NeoGeo titles through next-gen formats and Sony Computer Entertainment has agreed to our propositions," revealed SNK Game Titles Director Soichiro Hosoya. He added then that the whats and the whens of the matter can not be disclosed yet.
Also, Hosoya mentioned that they offered the same to Microsoft Corporation but the latter is yet to make a response. "Of course, we wish to launch our NeoGeo titles through Xbox Live Arcade but we cannot tell whether they'll accept our offer or not at present," explained the director. "We've been sending our propositions to Microsoft for a while, but it will depend on their policy," Hosoya lamented.
It would be remembered that a few months ago, SNK is quite apprehensive of releasing titles for the PS3 because of its price. SNK boasts of NeoGeo hits like NAM-1975, The Last Blade and King of the Monsters.

SNK Playmore today added an extra game to its previously announced Metal Slug Anthology. Billed originally as six games in one (Metal Slug 1-5 and the Metal Slug 2 spin-off Metal Slug X), the compilation will now include Metal Slug 6 as well. Released in arcades earlier this year, Metal Slug 6 introduces two classic SNK characters to the series' roster: the original Ikari Warriors Ralf and Clark.
Thats definantly gonna bring back some memorys. A nice take from Sony. Play next-gen games and classics. Can't wait to get my PS3.
Can someone say "Bust a Move"?
