These consist of the usual concept art and music, but as an added bonus to PSP users the guys at SNK have added some specific wallpaper that you can use on your system, which is a nice touch. Just like the Wii version you can also earn tokens that unlock items in the game. Compile that with a nice Ad-Hoc multi-player mode and you have a well-rounded package that will satisfy even the most jaded of gamer. The developers have also added a save anywhere feature so gamers can pop in at any time which is perfect for gaming on the go. That is until you start playing one of these seven classic titles and you soon forget about technical downfalls and enjoy the simplicity of arcade fun.Īll seven titles play just as good as they did in the glory days of arcade and without having to pump in new quarters every five minutes you will find yourself having more fun than you realize. If you also factor in the bare-bones presentation with a generic “choose your game” menu system you may be wondering why these games were so popular in arcades. This is due in most part to the fact that these are the original arcade ROMS on the disc, and when you combine that with the technical limitations of the PSP’s hardware you get a less-then-desirable experience all around. While none of these are a deal breaker, they certainly break up the pace of this fast-moving action title. There are also hiccups in each level as the screen changes from one backdrop to the next. It can literally take you close to a minute to navigate from the core menu into one of the seven titles. For starters (and this is certainly beating a dead horse for most owners of Sony’s handheld) the loading times can be frustrating. The real issues arise due to the limitations of the PSP hardware. This also eliminated the ability to utilize any arcade sticks available for Nintendo’s extinct system.įor the most part the developers have done a great job porting these titles to Sony’s micro PlayStation, even with the less than exceptional d-pad. Sure you could use the standard Gamecube pad, but without the ability to use the traditional d-pad the controls still felt a bit off. When this collection was released back in December for Nintendo’s newest console a lot of purists were disappointed in the lack of a classic control option. While the main package is a bit barebones compared to most collections, getting seven games for the price of one is hardly an offer to scoff at. PSP owners can now enjoy seven truly classic arcade games on the go with none of the control issues found in the recently released Wii version. After years of trying to piece together the entire Metal Slug collection across various platforms SNK has graced gamers with a special 10th Anniversary edition of it’s franchise in one complete package.
