There's no sugarcoating it -- the load
times on this collection are
inexcusable. The quickest you'll be
able to get from “power on” to
actually playing a game is about 2
minutes and 15 seconds. Exiting
from a game back to the main menu
takes about 30 seconds. If you're

looking for a quick gaming fix on the
go, this isn't it by a long shot.

Just like SNK's lineup for the Neo
Geo, the selection skews toward
one-on-one fighting games, which
make up 6 of the 16 selections. But
baseball, soccer and golf are also
represented, as are shooters and
beat-em-ups. One of the games,
World Heroes, isn't initially
available and must be unlocked by
reaching certain goals in the other

games. Other unlockables include
art, music and videos.

Die-hard fans of fighting games and
the Neo Geo may be able to overlook
this collection's laughably long load
times. For everyone else, it's a no-
brainer to give this one a pass.
