Metal Slug compiled for PSP News

PSP News by Tom Bramwell

11 August, 2006

SNK Playmore's Metal Slug Anthology for PSP will be arriving at European shops on October 27th, UK publisher Ignition and distributor Atari revealed this week.

The compilation consists of Metal Slugs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and X, and allows you to play in either widescreen or the original screen format.

There will be two-player wireless options for co-operative multiplay, along with some measure of exclusive content, although nobody's said what just yet.

You can get your hands (well, eyes) on some screenshots of the Anthology elsewhere at the site.

Originally announced during E3, Metal Slug Anthology is also being pieced together for Nintendo Wii. That version will include the most recent arcade game (absent from the PSP version) and will take advantage of the Wii's unique control options.

I wonder if the co-op will be gamesharable...

The PSP is REALLY lacking in those.

Wonderful! I'll definitely get this package.

And cheers for NOT having the headline "Metal Gear Solid for PSP dated" (might've been true, though).

For the rest of us who didn't hack our PSPs this is good news. Better be cheap though!

Besides, the widescreen option could be pretty good if it extends the viewing area a bit rather than borders/stretching on an emulator.

I wouldn't keep my hopes too high. Ditto for game sharing.

I don't have a PSP and look forward to the Wii version that also includes Metal Slug 6, which is great, because I never played it yet for obvious reasons (namely it was not emulated when I last checked). Sad too hear for PSP owners though have to miss out. Maybe the PSP will get a full MS6 release?

Widescreen mode in the Gradius PSP collection certainly makes a difference to the couple of titles converted in that game, so it should do the trick here too.

We do need more game sharing.
