NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is NeoGeo Battle Coliseum still worth playing in 2026?
A crossover fighting game from SNK Playmore, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum gathers a cast drawn from the whole Neo Geo universe, from Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting heroes to more obscure figures, in snappy duels with teams and assist characters. The well handled tribute, the polished pixel art and the depth of the system appeal to connoisseurs. The learning barrier and a niche audience limit access. A 2D fighter for fans of SNK fighting and the intertwined history of the Neo Geo.
