SNK is set to release a compilation disc titled SNK Arcade Classics: Volume 1 in the first half of this year for the PSP and the PS2. The collection contains quite a number of their famous fighters mixed in with some sports games and NeoGeo titles from their large library. Make the jump to check out all sixteen titles!
• Metal Slug • Magician Lord • King of Fighters ’94 • King of the Monsters • Samurai Shodown • Art of Fighting • World Heroes • Fatal Fury • Last Resort • Top Hunter • Sengoku • Burning Fight • Shock Troopers • Super Sidekicks 3 • Neo Turf Masters • Baseball Stars 2
For fans of SNK titles this is quite a gem of a collection and seeing as it’s a volume one it stands to reason there will be a volume two. One wonders what treasures will they dig up for that one.

Will SNK ever create a boss character whose name sounds halfway menacing? All of these answers and less can be found in this week’s VC update. More »
