[edit] Wii version

A video demonstrates six new ways of controlling Metal Slug Anthology using the Wii Remote:[2]

  • "Nunchuk Control Stick" - movement controlled with Nunchuk; fire controlled with B, jumping with A, and grenades are tossed by flicking the Wii Remote.
  • "Tilt Wii Remote" - tilts control movement; d-pad "up" to jump (no nunchuk attached)
  • "Wii Remote" - classic controls; flick to toss grenades (no nunchuk attached)
  • "Arcade" - hold Wii Remote vertical against surface (emulates joystick); nunchuk fires and jumps (flick it for grenades)
  • "Nunchuk Only" - Nunchuk controls all (except weapon switch and alternate attack)[3]
  • "GameCube Controller" - Gamecube controller connected to Wii, used for a more traditional control style.
