Metal Slug Anthology

I think I picked this up a while back but haven't got around to playing it. There were a lot of "arcade classics" released on the Wii, especially light gun games, which the Wii Mote lent itself to..

 

The Wii is SO GOOD with light gun shooters! Definitely check out: Ghost Squad, Sin & Punishment and House of the Dead Overkill

Actually, I think a GC controller is supported for more "conventional" control.

 

I'll have to try that. My wife and I played through MS6 the other night and had a blast. Arcade games in free-play tend to lose some of the tension of a real standup with my precious quarters on the line but I'm finding these games have enough fun content that they ride that out pretty well.

It is, but the d-pad isn't supported.

 

At least they later got SNK Arcade Classics right with proper controller support and performance that actually surpassed the PS2 version of the title. But as far as I'm concerned, regardless of the fact that I've never played the Wii build of Metal Slug Anthology, this situation alone elevates the PS2 version of the Metal Slug Anthology to the top spot.

My attention span on these sort of games is quite short, so I try to limit myself to 2-3 virtual credits... ha!

I would recommend the PS2 version instead. Better standard controller, plus access to really cheap joysticks if you want that.

I'll check it out, thanks for the heads up. I actually managed to nab the disc in great shape for $10, but if I come across the PS2 version for cheap I'll pick it up for the better control scheme.
