Let's play the hot new game that's sweeping the nation: "No, Seriously, What's Coming Out on the Virtual Console This Week?"
Today's contestant is Metal Slug 2 (NeoGeo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points). Sure, it may look fine ... until you realize that for $10 more, you could go to your local GameStop and buy Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Metal Slug Anthology, a Wii launch title.
So, we ask you: No, seriously, what's coming out on the Virtual Console this week?

I like the convenience of not changing disks...
Not this much, however.

I like the revamped Metal Slug X better, my favorite MS so far :)

The real issue here is control. I know many Metal Slug purists who were hugely let down by the fact that every control scheme for the Anthology was total crap. The best was the GameCube controller, but even then you had to use a squishy analogue joystick for a game that was built for a digital micro-switch stick.
Anyway, the potential of using the classic controller and playing this game properly is almost enough to get me to buy it.

It's funny too though you're right. I was going to buy the anthology but ended up reading a review that said the control schemes didn't include classic controller and I was honestly put off.
