Starting today, eight SNK Arcade Classics will be made available as PlayStation minis titles for the PSP and PS3 on the PlayStation Store as part of a commemorative “retro-arcade emulation” project.

The games will be available from the “New Releases” and “SNK NEOGEO” Featured Publishers page. The eight games that will be available are:Ozma Wars, Sasuke vs Commander, Vanguard, Marvin’s Maze, Hal 21, Athena, Ikari Warriors and Guerrilla war. All games will cost $2.99 each, except Guerrilla War which will be free to for PlayStation Plus members for one month starting today (the price will return to $2.99 after the promotion). So if you’re a retro gamer looking for a fix, what are you waiting for? Head over to the PlayStation Store right now to get your hands on one these commemorative games.
