Lisa Shea – June 24, 2023

Metal Slug Anthology provides Metal Slugs 1, 2, X, 3, 4, 5 and 6 all in one package. There are a few extras as well, including artwork and text interviews.This includes every Metal Slug game made, and includes the brand new, never seen Metal Slug 6. In Metal Slug 6, the enemies of the old games join forces with you against a new, nasty enemy. You also get new characters – the Ikari Warriors Clark and Ralf from the Kingdom Fighter game.There are varying levels of difficulty, and also a variety of controller setups to choose from. For example, in one mode you hold the Wii controller sideways, use the buttons to move and fire, but have to actually make a throwing motion with your hand to launch a grenade. Be sure to experiment with all of the different controller styles for a little while to figure out which one best suits your style. It’s going to be an adjustment no matter which one you go with, compared with the old style standard controller with lots of button pressing. Yes, it’ll be annoying at first. Just tough it out through that period and soon it’ll start to seem second nature to do the movements.The graphics are typical Metal Slug, which means they’re not incredibly detailed close-ups of human style faces – they are just flying bullets, scrolling landscapes and lots of explosions. Really, you don’t play Metal Slug to ogle at finely detailed castles and flowing capes. You play it to blast away thousands of bullets at a never ending stream of enemies, alone or with a fri.

Shivershorts – June 19, 2023

If you’re wondering whether you should get the PS2 version or the Wii version, this one is the best choice. With that said, let me provide some details:- The biggest issue with the Metal Slug Anthology is the input lag. Regarding the PS2 version, Metal Slug 1 has the greatest input lag and it made the game frustrating to play, especially for a game in which timing is key. For the rest of the games, lag is reduced but still noticeable and somewhat distracting. I don’t remember Metal Slug 6 having any significant lag. Regarding the Wii version, input lag is reduced across the board. The Wii’s Metal Slug 1 port has barely noticeable input lag and is far from game-breaking, while the rest of the Metal Slug games have next to none.- The PS2 version has a typical "Return to Menu" option when you run out of credits while playing (if you turn on limited credits, it operates much like an arcade game would work and only allots a certain amount of continues). For some reason, I have yet to find an option on the Wii version that allows me to return to the main menu after losing a game so that I may start a new one. So far, I’ve had to reset the entire game using the Wii’s built-in reset option on the Home screen. It’s irritating, but not enough to make me want to resort to playing the PS2 version.- If you purchase this game, be sure to use a Gamecube controller. The Wii controllers are whacky, and it does not support the Wii classic controller. You can still purchase new Gamecube.

Shoot! Jump! Destroy your enemy with a flamethrower! Bought this game to play on the Nintendo Wii U and it has given me hours of fun. What I like best is that the anthology version combines multiple versions of the game. It is like having a one game disk that has the entire Mortal Kombat collection on it. Great bang for buck.

M. Cristofani – June 14, 2023

I owned a NEO GEO in college and had several of the Metal Slug cartridges. The 7 games that come on this disc are perfect conversions of the original games with all the button-smashing and blood-spilling I remember. If a thrilling shoot-em-up game with no real story-line is what you’re looking for, this is a great game, with great graphics, and great price for 7 different titles. It is especially fun with multiple people playing simultaneously, as you can destroy most of the scenery in each level. With the Wii, you can choose different controller configurations to make use of the Wii controller and nunchuck dexterity. I prefer the standard arrow keys and buttons, so the one thing I’ve had a hard time getting used to is that there aren’t enough buttons to have one designated for bomb-throwing so you have to shake the Wii controller.

The Metal Slug games are arcade classics. Giving classic shooters such as Contra a run for their money, Metal Slug truly made shooters a completely different experience. These arcade classics are now available in an anthology package. The games include Metal Slug 1-5, Metal Slug X and the never before officially released Metal Slug 6.When you begin the game you have all the Metal Slug games from the get go. So you don’t have to unlock any of the games, they’re all right there from the get go. It’s fun to play these games for two reasons. One, it’s nice to see just how each game changes from one to the next. The series really evolves as time goes on. Also, they’re really tough games that even the most experienced of gamers will have trouble with.Each game has a unique art style going for it. Each level in every game is literally littered with thousands of enemies and troops. You’ll be able to get a hold of weapons like a flamethrower or shotgun to thwart your enemies. You’ll also be able to throw grenades. The challenge in these games don’t let up, though. It’s a good thing that you can give yourself infinite continues. You’ll certainly need them. The look and feel of these games hasn’t really changed much. It’s all still there. The blood, the explosions, the tough bosses. They’re perfect emulations.Part of the excitement with the Metal Slug Anthology, specifically for the Wii, is the immense number of control set ups you can have. There’s the standard classic set up which inv.

Rather than write a long review about Metal Slug Anthology for the Nintendo Wii. I decided to give a simple pros and cons review. I hope this review is easy for you to read and understand. Pro.* 7 Metal Slugs games in one (Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3, 4, 5, 6).* Metal Slugs fans finally get a chance to play Metal Slugs 6 (The arcade game was available to play in Japan but not here in the USA).* 6 unique, odd, and interesting ways to play Metal Slug Anthology for the Nintendo Wii including the uses of the Nintendo GameCube Controller.* You can play Metal Slug Anthology anytime you want so no more bringing a butt load of quarters to the arcade plus if you prefer a real challenge you can turn off the Unlimited Continue options and go for the Limited Continues option. (Easy-30 Credits, Normal-20 Credits, and finally Hard-10 Credits. Good luck for those who choose hard mode.)* Rapid Fire Mode-No more button mashing (You can turn this feature off if you like in options menu or the pause menu.)With all the good things I just wrote about Metal Slug Anthology for the Nintendo Wii now come the bad things. Con.* Annoying loading time between levels. (Don’t worry the loading time only last for about a few seconds)* Out of the 6 ways to play Metal Slug Anthology only 3 seem useful. The other 3 seem useless. (Nunchuk mode should be dubbed lazy mode, Tilt Wii Remote mode and Arcade mode are very difficult and almost impossible to play because you have to hold the Wii Remote up or on it side and.

As other have said is hard to use the wii control with this game but if you have a game cube controller then everything is great, certainly you can’t use the d-pad just the analog stick but for me that was more than enough. This is a must have for everyone that have played metal slug arcade series

I picked this game up way back in 2006, shortly after the Wii was released in the U.S. And I haven’t regretted it since then.Metal Slug Anthology takes 7 games (parts 1 through 6 and part X – also released for the PS1), adds some extra content you can unlock after playing through the game and puts them together on one DVD. If you loved the Contra arcade games or ground based shooting games in general, you will love this compilation. All of these games support 2 player co-op so it’s easy for a friend to jump in and with the game supporting multiple control methods, it’s easy to choose a controller and customize the buttons to your liking. It’s not expensive either so pick this one up if you don’t have this in your Wii games collection…highly recommended. :)

This is a great deal if you want to be able to play Metal Slug games! It’s better than getting each and every single other Metal Slug game on the Virtual Console or something.Also do note that this game is the only way to play Metal Slug 6 on something not an arcade cabinet. Actually, the 6th game is the only reason I got it.I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because some games don’t have the console-exclusive features that some of these games SHOULD have when some of them went on the PS2.And, on the Wii version, there is no support for the Classic Controller. Which may or may not bother you. As for me, it would have made my gaming experience much easier and to my preference. I’m stuck with playing with the Wii remote held horizontally…

I picked this game up recently due to this strange need to play a good simple shooter game and so far have been incredibly satisfied with it. You get 7 Metal Slug games (think Contra with more cartoony graphics, more ways to kill people, and vehicles you can ride in called Metal Slugs) in one package, each newer one with a few minor enhancements in gameplay. The explosions are ridiculous and the animations of your enemies as you blow them away (or even as they blow you away) is pretty hilarious. There are a ton of cool guns with different effects, which you usually will get by rescuing prisoners.The game gives you options of difficulty level and number of continues you want to be allowed (default is normal difficulty and unlimited continues), and a number of control options. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about controls, but I play almost every non-motion-based game with the Wii remote and nunchuk and this one is no exception. I find the controls more than adequate, though it is only slightly annoying you have to flick the Wiimote to throw a grenade or shoot a missile from your Metal Slug. I’ve turned the Wiimote on it’s side and played that way too, but that d-pad hurts my fingers after a while. I much prefer the analog joystick of the nunchuk. Oh yeah, and you get an auto-fire option so you don’t have to button mash (I strongly recommend turning it on).The two main complaints I have is the opening interface where you select which game you want (or options) is really.

This is all of the Metal Slug games bundled in a nice all-in-one release for the Nintendo Wii. It’s a fun game but a little repetitive. Some of the first three Metal Slug games even have identical levels which makes game play a little boring. I will admit I’m not great at these games but the money I spent on the game I would have spent easily in quarters to beat all of these in the arcade for what the $40 sticker price. I will say it’s a good game for you and a friend to enjoy. Each of the games takes about an hour to beat and there are six games plus 1 alpha (for a total of seven). If you like Metal Slug by all means get this game. There have been some other comments about load screens during the game they are brief and I didn’t find them to be too annoying. If you’re simply looking for something for the Wii to play you might consider something else.

This great for any die hard metal slug fan, or someone that wants to ketch up. If contra would have kept on being cool and would have had comedy in it, it would have been metal slug. The controls are GREAT on the Wii. I think there is like 5 diffrent ways to play. The only down fall of this collection is that it doesnt have a lot of unlockables. For the metal slug collection i would expect more. Plus this game has ulimited credits, so play your little hart out.
