SNK bringing yet another classic compilation

SNK's next effort will feature 16 different titles, and will appear on both the PS2 and PSP some time during the first half of this year (but probably not tomorrow). Titled SNK Arcade Classics: Volume 1, this collection will include many forgotten fighters, such as the first World Heroes, Art of Fighting, and Samurai Shodown titles, as well as Fatal Fury, King of the Monsters, and King of Fighters '94. Action titles like Top Hunter, Last Resort, Shock Troopers, Sengoku, and Burning Fight, as well as sports entries Baseball Stars 2, Neo Turf Masters, and Super Sidekicks 3 join the random potpourri of games in this anthology. Finally, Metal Slug (available for the umpteenth time) and Magician Lord also head to the handheld.
Volume 1 suggests that other compilations are planned for the future, ensuring that SNK won't really have to make anything new for a long time.

I'll still pick it up. PSP's dpad annoys me on fighters, so I'll opt for the PS2 version, myself.

hehe It's good to play these now via emulation. Don't see the need to buy them yet again. GIMME something NEW SNK then I might buy it but I can play all of those titles perfectly now on the PSP!

C'mon SNK... you're not even trying. What ever happened to the PSP KOF? Now THAT would be interesting material. Something new.

Considering SNK's track record with new stuff, why do you guys hate the company? Asking them to make something new, is tantamount to giving a manic depressive a razor blade.
