Still don't know how the controller will work, however. I really doubt there won't be an option to use classic controls; SNKP can't be THAT incompetent.

I've been thinking about that. If Metal Slug only used two actions buttons instead of three, it'd be no problem. For that sort of thing, I suppose the Classic Controller will do the job. If you don't want to spend the extra $20 though, SNKP will probably come up with something lame, like having to sharply lift the controller to jump while buttons 1 and 2 shoot and throw grenades, respectively.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you mean the controls, it would be just like the arcade layout (four face buttons, but only 3 are usable). With that and the widescreen, it's perfect for Metal Slug, though I have yet to see how bad the load times are.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There is no PS2 version, sir or madam. There's a PSP version, though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I thought so as well, but I haven't seen anything mentioning a PS2 version on SNK Playmore's site. On the Japanese site, there's a list of all PS2 games coming out this winter and Spring 2007, and a Metal Slug Complete (JPN title) is not listed.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And, well, ms4 wasnt exactly stellar either.

All of the MS games are already playable on near every console in existence from Saturn to upwards, and they aint exactly adding any extras that make them special either. Controlling this game from a Wii mote is a very bad joke, and other then that, they will probably add nothing but a POW name list and an art gallery full of pictures that you can already find online.

I guess they arent like Sega who splice up the ingredients of 2 good compilation to halves, and then sell 4 completely seperate titles out of the permutations.

The fact that its a Metal Slug anthology pack is enough. $50 (or $60, whatever) for every game in the series? Especially considering the original cart prices (as ridiculous as they were)? I think it's the best deal the Wii and the PSP are probably ever going to have.

I was speaking idiomatically.
