Metal Slug Anthology

Once again the mantle of Metal Slug has been laid on your shoulders. Are you ready to kick some rebel xenophobe derriere and save our planet from extraterrestrial enslavement?

SNK celebrates 10 years of mouth-watering side-scrolling mass homicidal shooter madness with the release of the ultimate Metal Slug Anthology collection on the Wii. This ultimate collection includes all 7 various MS adventures that have appeared in Japanese arcades over the decade, including Metal Slug 1-6 and X.

While many gamers may shrug their shoulders and proclaim, "Played it," Metal Slug Anthology will sport some fascinatingly innovative game control schemes that guarantee delivery of a refreshing spin on the classic MS games on the new Wii console and an entirely new MS game which hasn't seen the light of day in Northern America yet -Metal Slug 6.

Metal Slug 6 rehashes the traditional MS formula with a few interesting gameplay additions that MS gamers have sorely called for over the years. Firstly, MS 6 sports an expanded roster of 6 playable characters, including series favorites Eri, Fio, Marco, Tarma, and all new Ralph and Clark or Ikari Warrior fame. Additionally, individual characters feature their own unique abilities and strengths which drastically affect the difficulty of the game.

Eri has double grenades by default. Fio sports a machine gun as a Heavy Machine Gun as her default weapon. Marco can deal double damage with all his weapons. Tarma sports double durability and power-up effects when he's piloting a Metal Slug. Ralph has an alternate melee attack, the Vulcan Punch, which is ported over from his King of Fighter appearances that can damage vehicles. Clark sports his KOF Super Argentina Back-breaker wrestling move which gives big bonus points if executed correctly.

Additionally, SNK has also added a few gameplay changes to MS 6. Players can now bank their power-ups and even trade them to a second player in game. The auto fire functionality has been eliminated, and you can now fix the Metal Slug's Vulcan Cannon. This new feature allows you to control both your fire direction and movement direction simultaneously and was sorely lacking in every MS game to date.
