SNK is releasing some new video gaming love for you anyone lucky enough to own a NEOGEO X. The releases are broken up into volumes and a giant MEGA PACK which contains a giant 4141 Total MEGS of fun to go with the ultimate NEOGEO tagline THE 100MEGA SHOCK! Of course now 4141 Total MEGS is nothing but if you had shown that to my younger self in the 1990’s I would have freaked the hell out. The five volumes each have three classic NEOGEO games with one stand out title; namely Metal Slug 2, Samurai Shodown 3, King of Fighters 96, Garou: Mark of the Wolves and The Last Blade.
The complete list of games are:
- Vol I: Sengoku, Metal Slug 2, Top Hunter: Roddy And Cathy
- Vol II: Samurai Shodown 3, Savage Reign, Super Sidekicks 3
- Vol III: The King Of Fighters ’96, Blazing Star, Kizuna Encounter
- Vol IV: Garou: Mark Of The Wolves, Shock Troopers, World Heroes 2 Jet
- Vol V: The Last Blade, Blue’s Journey, Art Of Fighting 3
The price is kind of steep at $79.99 for the MEGA PACK of 4141 Total MEGS but each individual volume is $24.99 If you want more than three packs your best bet is the MEGA PACK of 4141 Total MEGS, I just love writing that. Then again if you’ll remember SNK is counting on your nostalgia kicking in as a single NEOGEO cartridge back in 1990 would have set you back more than that. So if the NEOGEO X is you thing prepare to get that GIGA POWER PRO-GEAR SPEC upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
