first batch of NEO*GEO games for Wii VC in September
AirRaid
Japanese Virtual Console bags three games - kicking off with Fatal
Fury.

UK, August 31, 2007 - SNK has revealed that its first batch of Neo Geo
titles for Nintendo's Virtual Console service will be ready for Japan
next month and the first game to grace Wii on September 11 is the
classic beat-em-up Fatal Fury.
Nintendo originally announced back in February that Neo Geo titles
would be set for download "this summer" but since then it's been
pretty quiet. However, SNK has now blown its information lid and
revealed that Fatal Fury, World Heroes and Magician Lord are the
initial batch of games available for download.
But what's the bad news, we hear you cry? Well, so far, they've only
been announced for Japan and each costs a whopping 900 Wii Points,
which is roughly GBP 6.00 ($12 USD) - only 100 points less than an N64
game. We hope you've got some deep pockets if you're planning to
download them all.

Set me up with the Neo-Geo version of Double Dragon, and I'll whip out
900 Wii Points faster than you can say "Scott Wolf".
