Just when Capcom seemed to have fininshed making “Dream Match” Versus fighters, SNK picks up the pace with its own Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. This slick fighter has made its way from the Atomiswave arcade system to the PS2 and so far it sounds like it is a decent port.

From NSCX:
“Tussle with famous and a few forgotten Neo Geo fighters in tag-team action where two combatants face off against another duo. Famous and familiar fighters include Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami from King of Fighters while we throw Kisarah Westfield from Toukai Gan Gan and Cyber Woo from King of the Monsters in the forgotten pile. We still remember Fuuma and Hanzo from the World Heroes games but that’s because we still plug in the World Heroes Perfect MVS every once in a while. A total of 40 fighters from many SNK games are featured and we’re thankful that no one from Ragnagard made the roster to stink up the joint.”

I’ll provide more review info once this puppy comes to the States.
