Yes, the original Mega Man is also available the same day, but everyone knows that Capcom classic. The special release for the Virtual Console owners should be Neo Turf Masters. While Tiger Woods and Hot Shots dominate the golf gaming landscape, Neo Turf Masters stands as one of the true greats of the genre, and not just golf games, but all sports games in general.
Neo Turf Masters is special to me personally. I loved it enough after playing it on MAME I tried tracking down an actual Neo Geo cart. When I realized what it goes for (four digits at least), I ended up paying a ton for a bootleg cart just to have it. The game’s speed, beautiful visuals (and animation), and pick up and play mechanics make it a steal for $8.00 on the Virtual Console.
And just in case you’re curious, the miniature version released for the Neo Geo Pocket plays just as well, plus adds features. The console and game can be had cheap online. It’s worth the money.
