SPOGS Racing and King of the Monsters in This Week’s Wii-kly Update

One title each for WiiWare and the Virtual Console this week: another NeoGeo oldie, King of the Monsters, for the pricey amount of 900 Wii Points ($9) and SPOGS Racing, which is a bizarre arcade racer where you control something resembling the “It” from South Park. That one will run you a dollar more than its VC sibling at 1000 Wii Points.
It’s worth noting something that 1UP pointed out — while King of the Monsters might be beloved by some (not by me, but that’s only because I’ve never had the pleasure of playing it before), it’s being released for the Wii later this month in SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1, which is a compilation of NeoGeo titles. Its price? $30. It also includes Fatal Fury and Metal Slug, for a total of ten games. Perhaps your money would be better spent on that rather than the Virtual Console version of King of the Monsters. I mean, you’ve waited this long for a port of a NeoGeo game — what’s another few weeks?
