Is NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 9 - World Heroes Gorgeous still worth playing in 2026?
A Japanese reissue from SNK Playmore, this NeoGeo Online Collection volume gathers the World Heroes, offbeat fighting games staging caricatured historical heroes and a Death Match mode with deadly hazards. The humour, the unlikely cast and the heritage value appeal to the curious about SNK's lesser exposed catalogue. The stiffness of these old titles and the Japan exclusivity limit access. A niche 2D fighter for fans of SNK fighting and genre history after rarities.
