Is something wrong with your keyboard?

 

[MoxManiac]

Sorry, i was masturbating while typing up the topic title.

 

[Fallofmart]

:lol

 

[White Man]

Metal Slug Anthologu is a pointer to a PS2!

 

[Skilotonn]

Well SOMEBODY rushed to make this topic before somebody else would...

 

[Wario64]

wtf PSP2 got announced?

 

[sixteen-bit]

yay no Wii waggle gimmicks

yay no crap PSP diagonals

 

[Joe Molotov]

Looks like Metal Slug Anthologu is pPS2

It's like poetry. :lol

 

[Eggo]

I can't get this image of the OP masturbating while typing "anthologu" out of my head. ><

 

[MoxManiac]

I hate you guys.

 

[Ian]

I was masturbating when reading the thread title. Made perfect sense to me.

 

[Tain]

yay no Wii waggle gimmicks

yay no crap PSP diagonals

Seriously.

boo at the most likely fugly scaled visuals.

 

[Phthisis]

This is made of win.

 

[jvalioli]

The Wii version supports classic controls...

The high userbase of the pPS2 should help this game a lot. I was a little shocked when I found out that this was only coming to Wii and PSP when it was announced.

 

[drohne]

nice -- ps2 + psp versions for me.

 

[Tain]

The Wii version supports classic controls...

I can't use my nicer controllers on the Wii. =/

To my absolute and utter surprise and amazement, the SNK booth had two kiosks with fully playable near-final builds of Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii. It completely rocks. I checked out the options and there are like 6 or 7 different control schemes. You can play with the nunchuck attached using the analog stick (lefty or righty), in this mode you "throw" the Wiimote forward to throw grenades, which is kinda cool because you can hold down the fire button (B) while you chuck so you don't lose your stream of bullets for longer than you have to, it only takes a very slight movement). You can hold the controller sideways, NES style... but in this mode I couldn't figure out how to throw grenades. There are also control scheme options for VC controller and GameCube controller as well. Very cool! I had to check out Metal Slug 6 since it was only released in Japanese arcades, it's freaking great. It looks better than any previous version graphically. Less pixellated. It has a zoom-in/zoom-out effect sometimes too... like in Alien Hominid, which was not in any previous incarnation of Metal Slug, to my knowledge. The backgrounds were gorgeously animated and there was a new 'Laser' weapon which shoots a constant straight beam and extremely powerful. (Cool note: the first time I tried to load up Metal Slug 6 it froze up so the guy had to open up the black box that contained the Wii... turns out it was the test kit Wii with the green faceplate on the front. I got to see the disk eject and go back in too... very very smooth, smoother even than my car CD player.)

que? you don't have to waggle to play, you know.

 

[Phthisis]

So why can't I find info on the PS2 version on SNK's site, nor on any release date lists?

 

[MoxManiac]

According to SNK Playmore's ad:

"Experience intense Metal Slug action on the Nintendo Wii system, PSP (PlayStation Portable) system, and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system."

 

[Fady K]

So its true? I still think im getting the PSP version though

 

[KimiNewt]

yay no Wii waggle gimmicks

yay no crap PSP diagonals

You can use the classic controller, gamecube controller or turn the wiimote sideways and play it without motion sensing.
So the Wii version is the suprior vesion.

 

[Lufiaddict]

I can't get this image of Zangief masturbating in front of his family (+ teh bear) while typing "anthologu" out of my head. ><

Same here. ><

 

[_Angelus_]

Awesome to hear that there is a PS2 version coming.

 

[Pureauthor]

Now let's all get into a INTARNETS fight about which version will sell the best!

Gogogo!

 

[Dizzy]

Nice to hear, wish it could have been revealed before I bought 3, 4 and 5 for PS2.

 

[Balzac]

PC ENGINE OR BUST

What makes the Wii version superior exactly?

 

[jarrod]

What makes the Wii version superior exactly?

Well, it was going to be WFC co-op play, but that got canned to make launch.

As of now I'd say they're all likely identical (minus PSP's screen stretch option and Wii's interface options).

 

[Rlan]

Looks like Metal Slug Anthologu is pPS2 after all!

 

[ConsumerSquare]

As of now I'd say they're all likely identical (minus PSP's screen stretch option and Wii's interface options).

Does the stretch option stretch the 4:3 image, or is it true widescreen?

 

[jarrod]

It stretches everything... no true widescreen for any versions (as the original Neo/AW games were all 4:3 anyway).

 

[MoxManiac]

you guys to buy anthologu on pPS2!

 

[StorablePrawn]

Sticking with Wii version, especially if it has online features of some sort. Although if PSP has online play, I'll get that version over anything.

 

[Swan Song]

But wait, I thought it was a well-known researched and widely documented fact that the powers that be at Sony refuse to allow 2D games on their system. Coulda sworn I read that somewhere. Hmm, I must be mistaken...

::sarcasm off::

Well, it looks like PS2's getting Metal Slug 3.... finally.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Yeah, I'm truly shocked Ignition manged to sneak that past SCEA. :lol

There goes the second best reason to get a Wii. Awesome news.

 

[jarrod]

There goes the second best reason to get a Wii.

Naw, it's still got Monkey Ball.

 

[Kintaro]

Naw, it's still got Monkey Ball.

People still play that series? Like, seriously? Beyond the first one?

 

[jarrod]

People still play that series? Like, seriously? Beyond the first one?

Over a million each game evidently... I wonder how many Metal Slug fans are out there by comparison?

 

[Bartman3010]

Yeah, I'm truly shocked Ignition manged to sneak that past SCEA. :lol

of AMERICA? Sorry, no, only on Xbox in America.

 

[Cheebs]

Whats the SCEA Metal Slug 3 controversy?

 

[Kintaro]

Over a million each game evidently... I wonder how many Metal Slug fans are out there by comparison?

Dunno. Surprised if that's true though. Game was cool the first go around, lost it's charm on me long since though. =/

 

[MoxManiac]

Damn, man...that was a low blow.

 

[JonathanEx]

Whats the SCEA Metal Slug 3 controversy?

Something like "we maek gaem!" "2d? gtfo" "awwwww".

 

[AniHawk]

Dunno. Surprised if that's true though. Game was cool the first go around, lost it's charm on me long since though. =/

Well, here are the numbers when I stopped counting them last December:

SUPER MONKEY BALL 2 | 772,289 |
SUPER MONKEY BALL | 735,776 |

SMB for Wii is being made by the guy that did the first one (first two?), so it should be something to look forward to.

 

[Shard]

So, can anybody confirm this garbled, garbled news?

I'm good at confirming stuff.
