Tomorrow (24th) is the last day for $4.49 on this and the other NeoGeo Station titles.

Shame that Shock Troopers is dead for random matches as it was only released a couple months ago. The original SNK titles that came out 12/2010 are really tough to find people online.

League Bowling? I've been trying nightly to accurately review the multiplayer for something I'm putting together but have struck out.

Yeah, I would kick myself if I missed out on this. I may get another PSN card to grab a few more. I got Alpha Mission II and Metal Slug 2 last week when they announced the sale. I may grab Metal Slug 1 and KOF 96.

I wonder if this blowout sale means SNK is about to start releasing more games for the Neo Geo Station...

Psycho Soldiers!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

They've done December 2010 -> July, August, October 2011 , so could be soon, that'd be great. Both Street Hoop and Neo Turf Masters are out for the Virtual Console. Garou for the 360. There is cross-over ease in adding some more titles.

I picked up Shock Troopers, Metal Slug 2 and Baseball Stars Professional. Metal Slug 2 and KoF'96 (got that last week) were both released 10/10/11 so not too long ago. Shock Troopers was August. Great deal to grab them 50% off.

Yeah. I'm going to get it now. I think I'll save what's left over to see if there are any other sales tomorrow. :D

You're going to love it. The game shows its age but it has a lot of charm. It's weird to see Athena's first appearance, well before she made it into King of Fighters.

Picked up Shock Troopers and Alpha Mission II. Everything else is either not very good or has been available in better packages.

Notice that the OLDER titles are minis. Simple ports with nothing added.

I understand that. But is it honestly that difficult to allow co-op while played on the PS3 and disable it when played on the PSP? I mean, c'mon....

And consider this a buyer beware. Be careful when purchasing ANY SNK minis. Just because the description may not contain the "2 Player / Co-op are disabled" disclaimer, doesn't mean it is in. I purchased Street Smart and there is no disclaimer, but there is also no co-op.
