Metal Slug Anthology?

[Buns34]

Is the Wii version worth $17.50? I would rather have the PS2 version, since you can use the D-Pad, but i have heard that using the analog stick on the Gamecube controller works just fine. Anyone confirm this?

I got the Wii version when it released. It's MUCH MUCH MUCH better when played with a cube controller. The Wiimote options for controls are some of the worst ever for the game.

Play it with a GameCube controller and you'll be fine!

Metal Slug Anthology is a great game, provided you like Metal Slug, but who doesn't???

I like the Wii version and find playing the games NES style is fine. And I own an MVS setup with a few of the slugs, so I can make a direct comparison. But your mileage may vary.

I actually like playing it NES-style. I got used to shaking the controller to throw grenades. Then when I tried a gamecube controller, I kept trying to shake it and realized having to press a button was a lot less convenient. (By shaking it, you can keep your finger on the fire button, which is nice.)

I have a (stupid?) question: Is it compatible with the Hori SNES-style pad?

If you like Metal Slug get Metal Slug Anthology I have it and love it, It's actually the first modern generation game I've bought new since Metal Gear Solid 2. When I bought Anthology for the PS2 it was $40. Normally I wait a year or two and buy it used for ten bucks, but thought I should pick up MS:A now becuase I didnt think I'd be able to find it later very easily. I dont know how using the WII remote would be with it, but if it sucks you can always use the Gamecube controller.

I actually put off buying the game because it only indicates on the back of the box that you can play with the Nunchuck and wiimote. It's nice to know you can use the Cube controller, but there is still no mention of whether or not you can play it with the Classic Controller. Can you?

Yes, you can use the classic controller. Gamecube setup is similar to Classic controller.

The GB Player one? Unfortunately not...See, it uses only the Control Stick for movement, and the pad registers as the D pad on the GC controller.


Good game, I don't know why people insist on bitching on this port. It's great, and If you can think of a Cheaper way of getting Metal Slug 2, I don't know what....


Also, MS6 is a great edition to the series. Second best in playability to 3.

No you can not use the Classic controller.

I agree! You get 7 games for $40 (thats the new price people) and it always amazes me how gamers find a way to complain about something!

Go over to Japan. They have to buy each game in the series seperately (at least that is how it is for the PS 2 versions from what I understand).

Here we go again with DP revisionist history. There has only been one issue people "bitched" about regarding Metal Slug Anthology.

The main complaint isn't the price, it's the general shittyness of the Wii version controls vs. the PS2 version. If someone likes the Wii version of MSA...great. However, the reality of the situation is this...the PS2 version controls better. People can buy whatever version they want. It's not really that big of a deal overall. People who have played both versions (i.e. me and others) are simply offering advice.

It's not a matter of opinion. This is a fact. If anyone disagrees, please tell me how much time you've spent playing both versions.

i think that using the wiimote could be cooler

I own both and PREFER the WII version, you have a problem with my opinion? Please....

I couldn't agree more! The PS2 is great, don't get me wrong. I just like the fact that I have more options in playing with the Wii version.

Reading is fundamental...

Er, yeah, I didn't mean because of price, that was a little comment on the face value of the collection, not the quality between the ports.


Wii ver. = good IMHO

And that's MY HUMBLE OPINION.

[MarioMania]

Would the PS2 version go down in price soon...

[Kitsune Sniper]

Shit, I just want SNK P to get off its ass and REPRINT THE DAMN GAME.

[MarioMania]

That would be great & a $20 price tag

Is it getting hard to find the PS2 version..I want one..but not for the prices on ebay
