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.
