metal slug anthology for the wii
polycounter lvl 18
well how about that, they advertise it as a 4 player game, but it isn't, only 2 people can play... it sais 4 player in the back with the nunchuck but in neither one of the metal slug games included on the cd can you play with 4 people...

Of course, you should have known it was two player anyways. Metal Slug is always two player, and those reviews that you should have read before buying it surely would have mentioned 4 player if it was included (that would be a big deal!). I lack sympathy for people who buy things blindly. The industry gets screwed up the ass enough for that already, the least you can do is suffer
Or just go get your money back.
i lack sympathy for people who write shit on the fucking box that aren't true, its the same thing as me selling a box of a dozen eggs and only putting 6 in there. How did that even get through nintendo's testing dept? i know sony and m$ test games pretty thoroughly before they let them be published.
MEH
one word
disappointment!
frylock hates red steel too.
we don't print the boxes, so that's not our fault!

yeah, like Unreal!
There is a typo on the box. If that's a big deal, just go get your money back. If not, then who cares? Someone typed a 4 instead of a 2. Mistakes happen. It's not like they're trying to scam you. They didn't launch some massive advertising campaign about how great 4-player metal slug is. The problem is even supposed to be fixed for later shipments of the game already.
And on a tangent, the box is a terrible place to get information on a game. "Hey game company, tell me how great your game is!".
Why are you trying to defend the company? They obviously messed up, and he thought it was 4 player by no fault of his own.
there's not a whole lot of wii games out there, it also seems like a really social platform i'm sure alot of people picked ms over other games cuz they saw "ooh look 4 players" on the back of the box. Every game box has all kinds of jazzy next gen marketing buzz words all over it and when i look at the box half of those don't even register as written text, but the technical info about the game has to be at least correct, its like buying a dvd player that has blue ray written on it, but can't play blue ray disks. Anyways i know its not a terribly big deal and shit like this is everywhere, but i'm just disappointed and wanted to rant. maybe warn other people who might make pick this up by mistake.
4 characters to choose from, true that - but only per title. it must be many more across all titles tho.

pfft! As if you have 3 other friends you can play with anyhow.
psp version for me all the way. anyway, since when is metal slug a choice for casual gamers? they must be really starved of new titles to death to choose an old school 2d platformer that is far from easy.

Sony and MS would have required the games to use HD resolutions so SNK is pretty much Wii-exclusive for their 2d games now.
ps - Rockstar, awesome stuff at the Art Institute Dallas on Sat, I learned a ton (that goes to everyone from TRI and Ensamble too if you're reading).
