Can't wait for this one.

I thought this was supposed to come out today?

Ended up pushed back another week--here's hoping this time it stays put.

This vidi is for the PSP version, by the by...

[saulob]

five (edit: SEVEN!) games on one.. my god.. this is a must-have.

too bad I dont own any console :(

I really wanted this in time for thanksgiving but.. whatever. I'm excited none the less. I've never even played Metal Slug, but when a developer is putting value on the shelf, I'm going to support value.

This is a definite pickup for me sometime down the road. I still have Metal Slug 2nd Mission for my Neo Geo Pocket Color. Good times.

Metal Slug is quite sweet.

I've never played Metal Slug (aside from maybe once or twice in a Pizza Hut). Is it worth a buy or at least a rent for a newbie like myself?

It is worth your abject worship, pleb.

Seriously though, if the awesome animations and the quirky humor don't get you, then I don't know what to say. Except maybe "aliens, giant robots, huge explosions, and many, many gruesome ways to die".

Isn't this also hitting the PS2?

And Metal Slug is a great series, though word of warning to fans who haven't played it: Metal Slug 6 sucks. It's easily the worst of the series. So if you are a big fan you might just want to hold on to your Xbox releases for 3-5 and wait for the original two games to hit XBLA. 6 isn't worth a purchase.

The last time I played Metal Slug was at this comic book store in my area, Ground Zero I think it was. But when my friend and I started playing, the first thing I noticed was that the machine's display refresh rate was rediculously low, and the screen seemed dim to me.

When we finally started playing, I felt dizzy, and I just started laughing, I almost collapsed, I had to stop playing, I just couldn't look at the screen without it making me feel really messed up. I've never had that reaction to an arcade machine before, so I had to let my guy die and stop playing. My friend was okay though, he kept on playing.


Edit:

Oh yeah, I'm buying this game when it does come out. With all the included games it's practically a steal. Plus it just looks like a lot of fun.

Don't forget zombies (and turning into one).

Yay for Metal Slug 1-6 on one disc.

I think it's supposed to be hitting the PS2 like a week or two after the Wii and PSP version hit for some reason.

[Pumped'Up]

This compilation will be amazing.

Also available on the PSP ($40, 12/14) and PS2 ($40, 12/19).
