NSFW: Topless Weirdo Shows Off His Neo-Geo Collection

My only coherent reaction is, “I didn’t know the Pet Shop Boys covered ‘Where the Streets Have No Name.’” Warning: man-ass at 1:24; nipple play at 2:21. Definitely NSFW. Same for the pics the Neo-Geo forum found, too.

Wii Getting Neo Geo Arcade Stick

The Hori fighting wha? Huh? Who knows. Nobody cares anymore. Not with news that the Neo Geo Stick 2, that stellar SNK/Sega collaboration for the PS2, is headed for the Wii. It’ll support both Wii and VC titles, ships in April and will set you back ¥4560 (a pinch under $US 50). No idea whether it’ll be the same as the PS2′s black version, or if they’ll decide there’s a shortage of white peripherals for the Wii that needs to be urgently addressed.

Hey Japan, Here Come The Neo Geo VC Games

The Virtual Console has been largely kind to us so far. Largely. Some weeks are pretty awful, yeah, but some have been pretty special too, so in the end, we’re aaaallll square. It’s about to get a whole lot kinder! Least for Japan, with the initial lineup of Neo Geo games announced for the Japanese VC. Starting sometime in September, Fatal Fury, Magician Lord and WORLD HEROES will be rolled out. World Heroes? And here I was thinking prayers were never actually answered.
