A review from Wii UK of Metal Slug Anthology:
"Metal Slug Anthology is undoubtedly the gaming equivalent of a B-Movie. If you've ever seen one of those dodgy war films shown on daytime television when you're pulling a sicky, you'll know what to expect from a game like this. It's unashamedly repetitive, unrelenting, and shallow, but – more importantly – it ticks all the right boxes along the way. If you're expecting something deep, this might not be for you. If you want to have glorious, violent, incandescent fun without having to worry about anything other than merely surviving, then you're looking at the right game."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The Neo Geo was something of an oddity in the gaming market – a family of systems that included the MVS arcade machine, AES home console machine, and a number of short-lived experiments such as the Neo Geo CD and Neo Geo Pocket. What tied these all together were the brilliant 2D titles created by SNK, which included a number of the most enjoyable fighting games of their time. Thanks to the company’s resurrection in recent years and some internal cheerleaders at Sony, the Vita has been home to a great number of Neo Geo games, although sadly it hasn’t received the brilliant Arcade Archives series by Hamster, meaning it's an incomplete library."
The switch is also another portable NeoGeo, lots of incredible games on it. If you like old school beat them ups and fighting games, as well shoot them ups, it's the place to be. The Vita will go down as an incredible piece of tech that got overlooked. Still playing mine to this day.
As announced last week, SNK’s Metal Slug Anthology released today on the PS4, and is currently available on the North American PlayStation Store.
Considering that Mega Man Legacy Edition only comes with 6 games and is $5 cheaper.
But then again this has one more game and a theme.....so I guess they are pretty close in value.
