IGN: Metal Slug Review

8
Metal Slug, whether or not you own it on Wii already, is arguably the most notable Neo Geo action game ever made and having it in immediately accessible, Wii Channel form with Classic Controller support is just about the best this classic is ever going to get on a home console. It's an excellent game to play through yourself, and even better when tackled with a friend through its co-op mode. What's more, it's proof that the Virtual Console still has plenty of greatness left in store for we retro gamers, even now in the post-WiiWare launch era. So bite that bullet. Clean out the fridge, drop nine bucks, and blast some Rebels with your Slug.

T'was a cool action game. A very good choice for gaming parties with friends when it's like 2:00 am.

I thought the same thing when i glanced over it. I read it as Metal Gear Slug, im like wtf is that. I can't believe it got 9.0 for graphics. I guess this is the best wii can do for graphics or something

4 - stupid purchase
Why would you pay 9 bucks for this game 11 dollars more you can have the whole collection on a disc. plus it will not take up the limited room you have on the internal memory. just buy the anthology collection of metal slug you can find it for around 20 bucks.it might not let you use the classic controller but you can use the game cube controller instead if u want.I rather have all the games in the series for 11 bucks more than just being able to use the classic controller instead any day

Or if you're like me and refuse to buy a Wii and have a half decent PC like me, you can simply go out and download MAME and play the 6 games in their original arcade goodness. I've spent dozens of hours playing these games and I didn't have to shell out a cent.

Disagree all you like, but I play all 6 of the original games in their original arcade goodness. And I don't pay a cent. If you want to pay more money for something that's readily available to the public, then be my guest.
