SNK Arcade Classics 0 is not dead yet

Nope, its far from dead. It actually has been released in Japan last week, so importing is pretty much the only option.

Nice, I just paid for my copy the other day. I am excited to delve into the collection.

So I am assuming everyone bought the PSP version since I see nothing about a PS2 version being available?

Yup!

Had a chance to play with it briefly this morning - quite liking it so far! Worth getting, IMO.

I really need to nab it. Is it going to remain import-only?

I would say wait until after E3 and see if we get an announcement or a date. If there is nothing on it by second week of June I would say its safe to say it won't be coming and go ahead and import it.

I copy and pasted the game list from dsheinem's OP. Vanguard 2 is there! A shame this was not released a year ago, a chance PS2 might have gotten a copy. So are all the games on the PSP version?

While SNK Arcade Classics 0 has not been officially announced in the West, SNK Playmore USA released Metal Slug XX and NeoGeo Ultimate Shooting as downloadable PSP imports. We’re betting they’re going to do the same thing with SNK Arcade Classics 0.

I've been loving my Capcom and Neo Geo comps that I have on the PSP. I'll have to look into importing this soon.

So where is the best place to order this game in the event it doesn't come out in the U.S.?
