General Morden and his henchmen are back! Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving set out to take the general and his army once again. They are joined by the new characters Eri Kasamoto and Fiolina Germi.
To counter the hordes of soldiers, vehicles and new enemies such as aliens, there is a variety of powerups available. You can grab shotgun, rocket launcher, machine gun and other powerups, and you can once again hop into the titular Metal Slug tank. There are some new "Slugs" as well, however - How about hitching a ride on a Camel Slug or Slug Flyer?
The game also introduces transformations - Touching certain enemies will transform you into a mummy, and eating too much food will make you fat and slow!

Well i knew this was coming but i didn't expect it so soon. Not exactly essential for me since i already own the anthology version although the slowdown in this game can be quite annoying.

Soon? I didn't expect it to take that long, actually.
Awesome. This is easily the second best in the series (not counting X).

Why does the character selection screen looks soo drugged? In Metal Gear 7, it looks perfectly fine but in this selction screen looks soo demented. But of course the game is good and thats what matters to me. I hope it come out soon.

@Cooldued. Metal Gear 7? I thought Hideo Kojima made it certain that the series would end at #4.
Are you hiding something from us?
Anyway, I'll probably get this, because I loved the original Metal Slug. But I don't know if I can afford to DL the whole series. How much better is it from the original? I would just settle for the Wii collection, but that one doesn't let me use the Classic Controller.

I hope they find a way to make Metal Slug 6 available through the Wii Shop

I wonder if the Wii emulation will fix the slowdown problems. If not, I'd wait for Metal Slug X which basically corrects this problem. It might not matter if the emulation is good.

@Wariofan. I din't know if they can (or will), since it was arcade-only. But it would make for one hell of a bonus in Metal Slug 7!

Yeah Im hoping maybe they'll either WiiWare it or maybe just go ahead release it as a NeoGeo VC game anyway. Somehow. Would 6 have been possible on NeoGeo?
If it werent for that damn 6 I wouldnt be on the fence about Anthology vs VC!

I'm debating whether or not I should get the Anthology too. If they just added CC support, I wouldn't be having this problem!

@Shadow_Sonic
It comes out in Japan in October. As for the NA & European VC, you could expect it on either late this year or early next year.

@cowboy
Yes, there is a two player mode in which a 2nd player could join right in almost any part of any stage.
