The Metal Slug sprites have always been among the best in the business. There's so much expression in those hand-drawn hooligans that it's tough not to fall in love with the game purely on graphics alone. But the simple, yet highly addictive gameplay is what has kept my interest in the series.
IGN has just released a couple new screens of the game, which was previously known as Metal Slug Collection, and while they don't really show anything new, they do show more Metal Slug goodness, and that's always a good thing.
Metal Slug Anthology is a collection of six games in the series: Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5. The game is set to ship Nov. 7, 2006 and will support two-player wireless multiplayer.
