After being regarded as the bench mark of side-scrolling purity and the most important 2D platform-shooters on todayÂ’s current gaming platforms, Metal Slug Anthology is now officially announced by SNK Playmore and Ignition Entertainment.

With key features such as arcade perfect conversions, two player cooperative play via wireless multiplayer, full support for both widescreen and original screen format, unlockable items and bonus galleries containing classic poster and character art as well as other Metal Slug goodies, the anthology delivers all of the fire power and game play you would expect from SNK Playmore.

Aside from Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5, the Anthology will also contain Metal Slug 1 and 2's first appearances on a home console, since the NEOGEO AES system.

We are also eager to announce that Metal Slug Anthology would arrive on your PSP screens on Autumn 2006! So be ready to slug it out!

# This game will own.Guest 2006-08-11 04:14
It's too bad that Sony won't accept anymore full sprite (?) games because some rock, it's lucky that they still have the PSP to go on.

# Buy it only if your firmware sucks....Guest 2006-08-11 04:52
Yeah, this series owns, but I can play them already on my NEOGEO and NEOGEOCDX emulators....It would be a great buy for somebody with the newer, and as of late, hackless Sony updates.



SNK has great games, but they're also know for re-hashing all their same games over and over and over....Also, being as cheap as they come, I wouldn't doubt this game is emulated straight off the UMD (meaning the PSP will access an emulator within the UMD that runs the game)....Don't believe me? Just look at the Midway Arcade Treasures ISO, or Capcom's Classic Collection ISO...there's your proof. Another proof would be the Ugly stretching of the graphics...as we've all seen in the actual homebrew emulators, they all do this because the games original frame format cannot correctly adjust to the PSP widescreen......So, in a way, all these old games we're getting on our PSP's nowdays are poorly ported over at lunch time, or simply pasted into the UMD with an emulator that runs em....Just to shed a little light here on how some companies like Capcom, Midway and SNK are ripping us PSP users off with their laziness...have a nice day.

# not first time on home console for Metal Slug 1Guest 2006-08-11 05:18
Metal Slug 1 already came out for the Saturn and PSX. Saturn got a great port with minimal loading between stages. The PSX got a really crappy port with the game stopping twice per stage to load a section of the level.

# Likely to get screwed over by the priceGuest 2006-08-11 05:21
I can very easily see this game retailing for the top PSP game pricetag (£34.99 in UK), even though the game hasn't been rebuilt from new.

YES!!!! This will no doubt be the best game for the PSP until Metal Gear Solid. I can't wait. And to the people that say its only good for higher firmwares, thats bull*****. The neogeo emulator is good but is a total pain to get working and there is no sound. The Neo Geo CDZ emulator only has the first 2. This is every Metal Slug game ever made besides the new 3D one. And Metal Slug is not dead. Its one of the best games out there. I will go and buy this the day it is released.

# just rip itGuest 2006-08-11 06:34
Then why does not someone get the capcom/konami and taito collections UMD and figure out if they are using an emulator...then just take it out so we can all use it. This would help out the PSP MAME scene

So what the metal slugs are rehashes, they are still kick ass. This will clear up some space from my memory stick.

# Can't Wait!Guest 2006-08-11 09:08
Man, I can't wait to get my hands on this! I just hope it's not as bad as Metal Slug 4 and 5 for the PS2...I love these games though, I get a kick out of it every time I play them along with a laugh or two (Like when you get fat and take a drink from your canteen. :))

# someone better tell 'emGuest 2006-08-11 10:37
or i could just use an emulator....



who wants another crappy UMD.



first it was Beta, now UMD and soon BLU-RAY. Sony Have the worst track record with creating formats. And the worst move of all was to sell the psp as a multimedia device!

# .FLai 2006-08-11 11:05
I agree that Sony were stupid with the PSP and with the PS3. And to the guy asking about MS 6, MS 6 is just a different version of MS 5 or it can sometimes be classified as the new 3D one (i think lol)

# i will be upgrading atlastGuest 2006-08-11 14:41
This is definitely worth the upgrade, wifi multi metal slug plus extras maybe a new stage or 2? Say it aint so I love SNK for this. Im tired of all the memory problems with the Neo Geo emulators they do not run like the arcade versions, and no wifi multi. Why settle for a 2nd rate version of this awesome series homebrew can go screw!!!



2.80 here i come!!!

# Portable SquirmingGuest 2006-08-11 14:51
First of all, @4....hahahahhahaha yes the title did throw me off a bit as well but ain't that kinda harsh? ;) Anyhoo about time the release date is announced and MS6 better be in there. W00t all of 'em in one tiny little package...no more buying thirty seperate games for Xbox, and no more laggy-at-action-packed-moments emulation!

Metal Slug 1, X, and 3 = side-scrolling perfection



I already upgraded my second, non-homebrew use PSP, so it's going to be kickass playing these multiplayer wifi.
