Osaka-based game company SNK Playmore, best known for its fighting games, is unleashing a whole slew of titles on the PlayStation Network.

Titles include Fatal Fury, Alpha Mission II, The King of Fighters '94, Samurai Shodown, Baseball Stars Professional, Magician Road, Metal Slug, League Bowling, Super Sidekicks and Art of Fighting.

Downloads start on December 22 and are available through the "Neo Geo Station" on the PSN. PS3 versions of the games are ¥900, while the PSP versions are ¥700. Many gamers probably already have many of these titles, but for those who do not, well, have a go.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of SNK's Neo Geo, which was a cartridge-based gaming system for arcades and home consoles.

Update: Neo Geo games are headed to the U.S. PSN on December 21. The PS3 versions cost $8.99, while the PSP ones cost $6.99.

Neo Geo invades your PS3 and PSP

Still don't know what a Neo Geo was? Let my friend tell you...because the Neo Geo was the best thing to ever exist on the planet earth, that's obvious...if you're alive you should know that, if not you should really get that checked out.

Also,

Unlike the Virtual Console releases, these aren't just emulated versions of the originals. SNK has added features like online co-op and versus play on PS3 (and Ad-Hoc Party support on PSP), along with other unspecified enhancements. Check after the break for all ten games hitting PS3 on December 21, and the two PSP games arriving at the same time. The other eight are scheduled to arrive on PSP sometime in January.
 
That is pretty good news. Not sure how many I'll be buying mind you, but I will most certainly be getting Garou:MOTW if it has online play :-D
