Neo-Geo Online: Sunsoft Collection - Preorder

SNK pretty much produced all of the software for the Neo-Geo gaming hardware. There were some third-party publishers who supported the platform but it was up to SNK to keep the games rolling consistently on both the MVS and AES Neo-Geo formats. One of Neo-Geo's supporters was Sunsoft which produced a bevy of games for the Famicom, Mega-Drive, and Super Famicom back in the day but the company also gave the Neo-Geo a shot with two fighting games:

» Galaxy Fight -
Eight motley fighters (emphasis intended on the word motley) fight with punches, lasers, and kicks on different planets.
» Waku Waku Seven
- An enjoyable fighting game which features a cast of seven likable combatants such as the floppy Mauru.

SNK digs both games out of Sunsoft's archives and re-releases them on the PS2 this summer. Per usual Neo-Geo Online Collection convention, both games have been updated with an online fighting mode (BB Multi-Matching), a character color-edit facility, and the ability to view a fighter's complete list of moves at any time by pausing the game. Preorders are welcome to ship on June 26, 2008 at JPY4800 or US$48.90 from NCS.
