Metal Slug Anthology Preview by 1up

1up has a released preview for the Metal Slug Anthology for Nintendo Wii . Here is an excerpt from the article:

You can use the GameCube controller if you want.

That alone should convince many of you to purchase SNK’s Metal Slug Anthology when it launches alongside the Wii in late November. The collection of all seven arcade Metal Slug games has been getting a lot of good buzz since its announcement, and for those who want to play the game without fussing with Wii-specific control schemes, that’s your option up top.

The developers have included six control schemes in total, so that leaves five with the Wii controls. “Nunchuck Control Stick” lets players move on the Nunchuck and use the Wii Remote to shoot, jump, and throw grenades (by flicking the remote forward). “Tilt Wii Remote” gets rid of the Nunchuck and puts character movement in the tilt sensor on the remote, so players hold the remote horizontally and tilt left and right to walk.

That’s cool, but does that mean for mor classic games for the Wii we have an option for using the Gamecube controller? If so this is awesome!

classic pad/gamecube pad/wavebird pad/wiimote/wiimote and nunchuck/1st party add-ons/3rd party add-ons id call that a fine controller choice
