SNK Playmore's Metal Slug Anthology for PSP will be arriving at European shops on October 27th, UK publisher Ignition and distributor Atari revealed this week.

The compilation consists of Metal Slugs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and X, and allows you to play in either widescreen or the original screen format.

There will be two-player wireless options for co-operative multiplay, along with some measure of exclusive content, although nobody's said what just yet.

You can get your hands (well, eyes) on some screenshots of the Anthology elsewhere at the site.

Originally announced during E3, Metal Slug Anthology is also being pieced together for Nintendo Wii. That version will include the most recent arcade game (absent from the PSP version) and will take advantage of the Wii's unique control options.

can't wait (unless you have to upgrade!) - if I do then I'll stick with NJ's great work!

I've allways liked the Metal Slug games, there a nice bit of 2D blasting action (apart from that awful looking new game for PS2 thats in 3D).

The best thing about this release is the multiplayer option. To be honest though I'm happy with the Metal Slug games I already own on PSP. :) ...If only NJ could sort out 2player options on his emulators, Metal Slug on CDZ and NGE would be brilliant.

Yeah I'm hoping it will be on the $29.99 US side. Also hope it does not require firmware 2.8 O.o

I also have a fear of this requiring firmware 2.8, and now with our man Booster not reporting back to us any more I fear there not being any more dev hook updates =[

I guess we will use NEO GEO CD, and NEO GEO for the mean time though since we can just about run all the metal slugs, its just too bad we can't have wifi.

This would indeed be a great compilation. We can only play 1 & 2 by means of homebrew as it stands now. So having all of the Metal Slugs in this compilation 100% playable will certainly be a value.

I'm still undecided about the Sega compilation, but this type of Metal Slug compilation is definitely what the PSP could use more of.

You know, i always wondered, was metal slug advance a remake of an old one? and if so which one?
