Metal Slug Anthology Wii Stick compatibility

Post by bennythejet »

Hi dudes

I've been searching the forums for an hour but have found mixed opinions on whether arcade sticks work with Metal Slug Anthology Wii or not.

Apparently MSA only supports analogue control and since the tatsunoko stick has the toggle switch that swithes between d-pad/analogue stick, am i right in thinking this stick will work?

Can someone let me know for definate who has actually tried playing Metal Slug Anthology with a Tatsunoko stick.

Cheers!

the box says only nunchuk and wiimote. does not work with Classic Controller / Hori Stick...some people are saying it works with the ngc analog stick. the question is, does the tat stick emulate the analog stick of the CC or the nunchuk?

The easiest way to think about this is that all arcade sticks that plug into the wiimote are just Classic Controllers. Metal Slug does not support Classic Controller, case closed. You could get lucky and score one of the Hori Gamecube sticks and apparently that works, but it wont be cheap.

Metal Slug 1 and 2 on the Virtual console however DO support CC and thus arcade sticks. Same with Metalslug on the SNK arcade classics disc.

Fastbilly1 is on the money. Metal Slug Antho sucks on Wii for the lack of Classic controller compatability. Its so fortunate that other SNK compilations don't don't have this issue. Get PS2 version or jus get SNK Arcade vol.1 on Wii.
