To gamers worldwide, the METAL SLUG franchise is known as one of the greatest action arcade series of all time.

This will be a full arcade collection including many additional surprises.    

"Fans worldwide have been looking forward to our return to Nintendo platforms and what better way then to bring our complete METAL SLUG arcade collection to Wiiâ„¢.  Additionally we enter the Nintendo DS category with our SNK VS CAPCOM CARD FIGHTERS DS game that will match the dual screen format to a great game" said Ben Herman, President of SNK PLAYMORE USA CORPORATION.

It's robably a graphically improved version of the game that came out for the Neo-Geo Pocket back in 99.
And the Metal Slug collection is a must-own.

Naw, this is a whole new game....the locales, characters, cards, and even the way the card battles are played (WAY more cards in play at once this time around) are totally different from the 1st game.  I actually own (and have beaten) the 1st and am totally GEEKED at this news!  I've been trying to get by on Yu-Gi-Oh games ever since, but nothing has quite scratched that itch like CFC.....let's just hope they don't muck it up!

Now if they would just announce an online version of Baseball Stars.....
