If you aren't entirely familiar with the franchise, just think Contra with more action and a larger over-the-top style. That being said though, the games are still in tact, and for the most part they kick as much ass now as they did back in the day. What could have been one of the bigger highlights to the package instead looks like something that was cut/pasted directly from an IGN page or standard word document, and that's a bit disheartening as well. On a huge downer though, the interview isn't video, it isn't audio with pictures, it's actually just a big block of text. Mostly these are about a dozen galleries of concept/final art compiled from each of the seven games, as well as an interview with the creators of the Metal Slug series. Beating the games in either single or multiplayer modes earns tokens, which in turn can unlock different extras. And when it comes to any sort of fan-service, Metal Slug Anthology again comes up pretty lacking. It isn't a life-or-death thing, but it's still annoying to see, as the games themselves are amazing but the package screams 'cash-out' from minute one. If you want the options, scroll through the games to get to them. On the main screen it's no different, as you'll be looking at a huge drawing of the metal slug tank and pressing left/right on the d-pad to slide one main picture. Even the loading screens have a basic picture and a tiny tank skidding across the bottom of the screen, but no time was taken to actually animate the tank moving in any way. On the presentation side, the game interface is extremely sketchy, hosting some pretty crude menus filed with mostly sliding art from the game. Where the issues start to arise, however, is in everything that encapsulates this package of must-have titles. Despite its awesome package of true arcade classics, it can be a bit of a letdown when it comes to the total package of presentation, extras, and control.

What we've got here is an absolutely essential game for the 'quarter-jerker anonymous.' Now that we've got the fanboyish ranting out of the way, we'll take you to the grim truth about Metal Slug Anthology for Wii. Metal Slug Anthology brings every major title in the franchise together for a 10th year anniversary, and sticks an astonishingly affordable price of $39.99 on the box.

For the first time, these six games are finally in the same package together and readily available somewhere other than an arcade or PC emulator (tisk tisk). Over the years there have been seven main Metal Slug games, labeled one through six, and Metal Slug X. The Metal Slug franchise has been around since 1996, offers some of the most hardcore traditional shooter gameplay to date, and is jam-packed with awesomely animated 2D art. GDEMU*: Set “image_tests=0” in gdemu.For arcade fans this compilation has been a long, long time coming. all the information you need is in the MAME source code”. So far, Megavolt85 has only stated “Atomiswave is Dreamcast with small changes. We won’t know exactly until more technical details of the conversion process emerge. Pedantically speaking, it may be unfair to even call these ports if the Dreamcast turns out to be code-compatible with Atomiswave. Of course, the AW is not a 1:1 DC clone by any means, so any ports we do get will always be special occasions to celebrate. Metal Slug 6 was an excellent first candidate for release, because even die hard Metal Slug fans rarely get to experience 6 on real hardware.

Indeed, if Megavolt85 has completely cracked the secret of porting Atomiswave to Dreamcast, it will be huge for arcade fans, and will allow people to experience a great library of rare and interesting games for the first time, in potentially arcade-perfect form. Needless to say, AW on DC is infinitely more accessible than Naomi ports, especially in our current golden age of Dreamcast ODEs, so this is very exciting news.

Atomiswave is 480p native, and the MS6 port runs in 480p VGA on the Dreamcast, and Megavolt85 appears to be looking into composite support as well. And that game is Metal Slug 6 no less, for 1-2 players. The Dreamcast Junkyard has a great piece on the history of the Atomiswave with more technical details that I encourage you to check out.Ī number of Atomiswave games have been ported to Naomi by the community, and now for the first time one has emerged for the Sega Dreamcast care of Megavolt85, who quietly released a GDI image on the Dreamcast-Talk Forum. Unlike Naomi though, Atomiswave has been largely overlooked due to its rarity and relative failure to successfully break into arcades. Interestingly, it was very similar to the Dreamcast hardware, even more so than the Sega Naomi. The Atomiswave arcade platform is seen by many as a spiritual successor to the Neo Geo MVS, being a collaboration between Sammy, SNK, and Sega.
