Ben Herman, who already let us know that we could expect Neo-Geo games to pop up on the Virtual Console service, came back from his short interview hiatus to discuss SNK and the upcoming support of the Neo-Geo system. While Ben couldn't give us an exact date on when this is all going down, he did manage to cast away our doubts that the company wouldn't stick to a consistent release schedule with its titles, much like we've already seen come from the Virtual Console, promising to provide a steady flow of titles once the floodgate has been opened. Sadly, the games will cost us though, as Ben confirms the price will be a bit higher than the current price tag of SNES titles. As of right now, games for the Neo-Geo system are slated for a worldwide arrival on the Virtual Console service this Summer.

Best news ever!! The icing on the cake would be a wireless controller or/and joystick. (The wired classic controller still is a joke). And $9-10 is a very reasonable price for these games. I had to save up for six months to buy one of those games.

Awesome news. I already bought Metal Slug Anthology, but there's still Garou, King of Fighters, and Samurai Shodown.
And I disagree with the classic controller being a joke. It works fine for every game I've used it on, and has a decent enough layout for NeoGeo. I just toss the Wiimote to the side or in my pocket. It's hardly noticeable.

I still use my Wavebird for all VC. It doesn't rumble, but neither does the Classic Controller unless you hold your Wiimote in your lap.
