  • Just please do a decent job of scaling.

    Pac-Man Museum was a total disappointment with its awful, non-configurable scaling and filtering options :( It would be really nice if these emulators included HQ3x and 2xSAI filters like all the open source emulators do. The blurry bilinear filtering in most of the emulators on PS3/4 is just ugly and blurry.

    I’ve skipped the Namco PS1 titles on Vita because I’d rather see a clean 2x scaling up to the Vita native resolution instead of a bad and uneven scaling to PS1 res, then an uneven scaling from PS1 to Vita. Nevermind the limited color range on the PS1.

  • in order…

    insta-buy, two BEST fighting games EVER created:
    1. THE LAST BLADE 2
    2. GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES

    Following are great as well:
    3. THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
    4. THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97

  • My picks:
    FATAL FURY SPECIAL
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
    METAL SLUG X
    REAL BOUT FATAL FURY 2: THE NEWCOMERS

  • TWINKLE STAR SPRITES, definitely. I spent many days in college playing TSS until 4 am.

    The other games are true classics, to be sure. But there are many other fighting games, and very few versus shmups like the truly innovating Twinkle Star Sprites.

  • A game i wish they could bring back is “ZOMBIES REVENGE.”

  • SAMURAI SHOWDOWN II PLEASE!

    Also, Samurai Showdown V wouldn’t be bad either–but definitely 2 first!

  • Garou! And then kof 97 or 2000, but i would really love 2003 or XI (with online play if possible) =D

  • Please do these 2!

    METAL SLUG X
    SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL

    Thank you!

  • I know it’s not on the list but please SNK, PLEASE re-release Matrimelee!

  • I see KOF 97 and KOF 2000. Where is KOF98?

  • SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL
    NEO TURF MASTERS
    WINDJAMMERS

  • Would love to see any of the following!

    GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
    THE LAST BLADE 2
    METAL SLUG X
    SAMURAI SHODOWN II
    SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL
    SENGOKU 3

  • Breakers 1 & revenge
    Matrimelee (power instinct)
    Ninja commando
    Ninja masters
    Snk vs capcom

  • FINALLY! It’s about time! Here are my votes:

    1. Garou Mark of the Wolves
    2. The Last Blade 2
    3. Real Bout Fatal Fury 2
    4. Samurai Showdown V Special
    5. Fatal Fury Special
    6. KOF ’97
    7. KOF 2000
    8. Sengoku 3

    Also, It would be awesome if you re-release the KOF Maximum Impact games, including possibly Regulation A{which never made it to North America}, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, Art of Fighting 3, Fatal Fury 3, KOF’ 99 Evolution, Real Bout 1 and Special and most of all, KOF ’98 Ultimate Match and KOF 2002 Unlimited Match.

    And, if it’s not too much trouble, please consider having the options to change between languages and soundtracks too, as well as a practice mode, like the PS2 collections had.

    And that’s about it. I really appreciate you taking all of our input. Thanks for reading!

  • 1.THE LAST BLADE 2
    2.GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
    3.SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL
    4.REAL BOUT FATAL FURY 2: THE NEWCOMERS
    5.SAMURAI SHODOWN II
    6.FATAL FURY SPECIAL
    7.THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97
    8.THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
    9.ART OF FIGHTING 2

  • The Kinf of Fighters 2000
    The King of Fighters 97

  • From this list, I would buy for sure:

    – FATAL FURY SPECIAL
    – GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
    – THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97
    – METAL SLUG X
    – REAL BOUT FATAL FURY 2: THE NEWCOMERS
    – SAMURAI SHODOWN II
    – SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL

    If SNK could bring the entire Real Bout Fatal Fury series, I also would certainly buy it.

  • 1) KOF 97 : best entry in the Orochi serie
    2) Twinkle Star Sprites : a shoot’em up will be so good on the Vita

  • Garou: Mark Of The Wolves
    The King Of Fighters 2000
    Samurai Showdown V Special
    Let’s go!!!!

  • 1) Last Blade 2
    2) Samurai Shodown II
    3) Garou Mark of the Wolves

    Perfect ports, non censored versions, with added features/content (such as online and local/adhoc multiplayer, etc). Would love to play these on my vita; make it happen :)

  • Windjammers isn’t an option? Don’t care then.

  • -Art of Fighting 2 & 3 for NeoGeo Station

    -King of Fighters XI (11) Ultimate Match

    -SNK vs Capcom: Chaos RE-MATCH (Please make a sequel with Capcom also)

    -NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (Please make a sequel)

    And also the next new King of Fighters game (KOF14) needs graphics on Guilty Gear Xrd level or higher for it to be a success.

  • 1. Last Blade 2
    2. Garou: Mark of the Wolves
    3. Twinkle Star Sprites

  • The ultimate 11

  • Basically any KOF with rollback netcode (extremely important, CRUCIAL) and if possible, PS3 arcade sticks support. And you have a money making monster.

  • List:
    GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
    FATAL FURY SPECIAL
    ART OF FIGHTING 2

  • the rge of the dragons

  • Both of King of Fighter ’97 and 2000, Metal Slug X , and Shock Troopers; 2nd Squad

  • Um….That all good and nice,SNK.

    Now:Where’s KOF11+,SS6+ AND NGBC?!?!?! SNK,PLS..V_V

  • As a write-in, Windjammers has an impressive showing here. I suspect, if it had been listed as an official option, that it would have dominated these replies. Personally, I would pay top dollar for a quality port of Windjammers.

  • you wanna know what i want? i want one.. ONE single compilation of ALL metal slug games… similar to wht the psp and ps2 had.. but allow a filter thing that we can turn off and on between the classic graphics and new better ones with applied said filters…
    thats what i want… put it at roughly 15 bucks… 14.99 and it would sell well.. otherwise i dont want to replay different metal slug games every now and then as they get ported to various systems.
    And whats with the newest king of fighters game or whatever coming to mobile? reall? it didnt cross anyones mind to make it or make one for vita and 3ds.. i think KoF would find a decent home among handheld systems as a fighting genre in general.. do the same for previous installments and make a collection, id buy that as well on the vita.
    Then make a new one KoF 2k15 or something for both major handhelds

  • King of Fighters NeoWave
    NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
    SVC Chaos –> PLEASE THIS ONE! IT NEVER GOT A US PS2 RELEASE

  • Adam, thanks for porting this SNK’s classic to the Vita, but I really need to ask you this..
    Why is it that when SNK decides to bring something new to the table -like Metal Slug Revolution- you guys decide to release it only on android and ios?
    I mean, I get that you’re targeting the platforms where the most audiences are, but why turn your back on the Vita all of a sudden?

    It’s okay if you don’t want to release it in the US, but the Vita is a very popular device in Japan, does that not mean anything to SNK? Show us some Vita love with the SNK classics and SNK’s newest games lineup on 2015 and we’ll give it back to you.

  • I dont get why people are picking GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES. game exist already someone downloadable. Games like last blade 2 and SHOCK TROOPERS: 2nd SQUAD dont. Thats where my vote went to.

  • YES!!! More games on the Vita :)

  • I wish they could release Suikoden 1 and 2 for the Vita!! that game will make more happy about Vita!!

  • •SAMURAI SHODOWN II
    •METAL SLUG X
    •THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’97
    •ART OF FIGHTING 2
    •SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL

  • Windjammers and Metal slug X. I dont know any of the rest but hey Sony, if we want em, why not give em to us. See what you ccan do about the CRASH and SPYRO series into ps4, especially for playstations 20th anniversary it would be nice to play those since all of us played them in the early Playstation days.

  • Of the titles listed, I’m all in for Garou. Hell yeah.

    But can we please trouble someone to also bring over King of Fighters 2002 UM to PSN at long last? It’s been sitting stagnant on XBLA for so many years and I feel it’s time the PS faithful get another chance to experience the pentultimate KoF experience.

  • The king of fighters 2000

  • The king of fighters 97′

  • Twinkle Star Sprites and KOF 2000 please?

    These games are AWESOME!

  • windjammers :x

  • It’s great to see that Metal Slug 3 is coming to PS4 and PS Vita. Out of all 7 titles, it’s the best one of the whole franchise. Loved the ending of that game. I know I can just play the Metal Slug Anthology, but it has missing content and long loading times.

    And to that list, I have to choose Garou: Mark of the Wolves. I always wanted to play the original source game ever since I played the characters on M.U.G.E.N and that they never released the PS2 version here.

  • I need all this game!! :D

    GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES
    THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
    THE LAST BLADE 2
    REAL BOUT FATAL FURY 2: THE NEWCOMERS
    SAMURAI SHODOWN II
    SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL
    SENGOKU 3
    TWINKLE STAR SPRITES

    And please, we need also on the PSN The King of Fighters 2002 UM, XI and Neo Geo Battle Collection…

  • -Mark of the Wolves
    -Metal Slug X
    -Kof 2000
    -Last Blade 2

    Any discount for those who have the original cartridges ;) ?

  • Twinkle Star Sprites.
    And, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, add the arranged music from the NEO GEO CD versions. Even to the existing NEO GEO games on PSN. Even if it’s a paid DLC. I’d gladly pay for it! I had a NEO GEO CD and the music was incredible. Would you do that for us, long time NEO GEO fans?

  • Metal Slug X!

    I wish that every Metal Slug game was available on the PS4, actually. Such good memories… :’)

  • METAL SLUG X

  • Sony, don’t be ridiculous! We want ALL of those games. Make a *good* collection out of that. <3
