Metal Slug Anthology PS2

[Ralfakick]

It's just a shame to get all of our hopes up that is why the frustration continues. It would have looked nice under the tree, maybe I'll get a wii before the ps2 version comes out.

EBGames.com's new release date = 2/7/07

 

[Kiken]

New date according to EBGames for both the PSP and PS2 is 3/1/07.

All I can say is, at least the PSP version physically exists (magazines have gotten preview versions so we know that the code has actually been put on a UMD).

I already gave up PSP/PS2 version long time ago and got myself Wii

Now the game is shoved back into March.

...and then found out that the Wii version looks shiteous

Indeed, with even more shitacular control options.

Gamecube controller > the psp version.

PS. LOL if you think the PS2 and PSP version will have a different GUI or extras.

Even with all the little screw ups, I'd still take the Wii version over the others. And that's assuming they fix the bugs and such in the PS2/PSP versions.

Personally, I think the Nunchuk style works great and is exactly what I'd hoped for when I heard the game was coming out to begin with.

I think it's really odd that SNKP decided to go with Wii with porting games. I can't imagine how in the world one could play KOF on a Wii.

 

[Shoe-A-Palooza]

While I am happy to hear this it also makes me cringe. having just gotten done playing the Xbox ports I was FAR from inpressed. Slug 3 on XB was near perfect & then they went & ruined it by making you start the level over every time you would continue. Thats just fucking insanity.

People would start bitching that the game was too easy if you could continue right where you left off. They'd say 'I beat this fuckin' game in one hour, beat it again in 2P Mode with my friend, got bored with it and never touched it again. This game sucks because it's too easy to beat.'

I remember egm bitching about Strider 2 for PlayStation 'sucking' because it 'gave you infinite credits and was therefore too easy to beat in an hour and therefore had no replay value'.

Besides, if you have a hacked Xbox it's basically the same as a Neo UNIBIOS, you can cheat to your heart's content.
And if you have an unhacked Xbox, you can at least double your lives by starting 2P Mode right before you lose your last 1P life.

Some people are just Never happy I guess.

Saturn PS2 controller > Gamecube's dinky d-pad

classic controller?

joystick via gamecube port?

waving and flailing your hands like an idiot with the wii remote?

Use a Sanwa button modded Hori Real Arcade Pro.

Get a PS2->GC Coverter, like this:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-g4-49-en-70-29s.html

I have 2 of these, used it to play SCII with Namco sticks on GC back when that was the stuff.

Stop crying about the Wii version and get a clue, thanks.





Edit: I assumed that the Wii version would have dpad control. Disregard.

Cant use a joystick since the game doesnt support D-pad.

Not sure how a PS2>GC adaptor would help either.

 

[Plasia]

My mistake.

Shouldn't have assumed they supported dpad.

I've been seeing Slug Anthology for the PSP on Ebay, this could mean the PS2 version might actually see a March 1st release?

so, it's already out, but only in japan, i guess.

got it from here:

http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/consumer/title/ms_6.php#psp

also on the latest update on SNKPlaymore's site, are they re-releasing games on the Neo, or were they talking about Battle Archives 2?

 

[ShYtFaCe]

The one I've been seeing looked like a European release, had a green case like this:

[Amano Jacu]

Yes, the PSP version is available here in Europe, with that green case. Nothing about the PS2 one though.

 

[kroko^unleashed]

Most likely European release will be on the fall. Summer would be one possibility too.
