SNK PLAYMORE has announced a nice compilation of SNK arcade/Neo Geo titles for the Sony PSP, coming to the PS2 as well. The UMD disc will come packed with 16 games. There's a variety of games, besides the well known fighting titles. A little bit of side-scrolling (Last Resort, Magician Lord, Metal Slug), monster battling (King Of The Monsters) and sports (Baseball Stars 2, Super Sidekicks 3).
SNK Arcade Classics: Volume 1 will include the following SNK games:
ART OF FIGHTING - The first game in SNK's second fighting-game franchise, set in the same universe as FATAL FURY.

LAST RESORT - A challenging futuristic shooter.
MAGICIAN LORD - Players help the wizard Elta save his homeworld in this platformer.
