Metal Slug 6 gets added to Metal Slug Anthology (7 games in 1) for Wii and PSP. Plus the original comes to Xbox Live Arcade

SNK Playmore announced today that they will add the latest game in the series, Metal Slug 6, to Metal Slug Anthology for the Nintendo Wii and Sony PSP.

Metal Slug Anthology will now feature seven great Metal Slug titles. Included in the collection will be the original Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5, and Metal Slug 6.

Metal Slug 6 was released in the arcades earlier this year and expands the cast of playable characters by two. In addition to the Metal Slug regulars Marco Rossi, Tarma Roving, Eri Kasamoto, and Fio Germi, Metal Slug 6 includes Ralf Jones and Clark Steel of 1986’s Ikari Warriors. The Metal Slug 6 storyline returns to the Rebel-Martian alliance featured in Metal Slugs 2, X, and 3, but now players have to team up with the Rebels and Martians to defeat an even greater threat. Metal Slug Anthology will ship during the Wii launch this November in the US & this December elsewhere.

SNK Playmore also announced the original version of Metal Slug is being brought to Xbox Live Arcade, likely in 2007.

Here’s a video look at the just added Metal Slug 6:


I’m definitely getting Metal Slug Anthology on Wii for the awesome multiplayer!
