Ignition, developers of the upcoming old-school anthology, chatted to Cubed3 about Metal Slug, Wii controls and other projects.

Talking about control schemes, Ignition noted that the team had worked from an original 15 schemes down to six, their favourite being the "Wii Tilt Remote [...] It reminds us a lot of when we were kids and used to play Super Mario Bros. and would actually lean with the controller when jumping gaps or running away from flying Koopa Troopas!" The interviewees also hinted about another possible compilation title for the Wii, and praised the console's unique controls.

C3: What made you choose Metal Slug Anthology as your first Wii title?

Ignition: This is our first title for Wii platform and we believe that the Wii is the perfect console for this title and we are full of confidence with it! Another reason is that this year is METAL SLUG's 10th anniversary and what better way to commemorate this. Importantly we thought Metal Slug is suitable to their unique controller.
