Metal Slug Anthology for Wii

SNK announces support for the Wii with Metal Slug Anthology.

SNK has revealed to IGN that they will be jumping on board the Wii with Metal Slug Anthology. Previously announced for the PSP, this is a compilation of classic Metal Slug projects. However, on the Wii these games have been enhanced to take full advantage of the new controller, controlling the on-screen movement.

"Fans worldwide have been looking forward to our return to Nintendo platforms and what better way then to bring our complete Metal Slug arcade collection to Wii," SNK Playmore USA Corporation president Ben Herman said in a statement. "The Wii controller will be used in a new and unique way that enhances the gameplay. Our fans have demanded that we support Nintendo platforms. Let the celebration begin."

Metal Slug Anthology will feature such classics as Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5. SNK has not yet confirmed if Metal Slug 6 will be on the compilation, but that is a very real possibility. The publisher would only officially state: "This will be a full arcade collection including many additional surprises."

We'll have more on Metal Slug Anthology during E3.
