Here's the story as told by Gamespot:

In meetings with GameSpot, SNK Playmore this morning confirmed that it will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Metal Slug series of 2D shooters with a PSP compilation set for release this fall.

The Metal Slug Collection will include six full games on one UMD: the original Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, and Metal Slug 5. SNK Playmore is promising perfect translations of the arcade classics, as well as wireless support for two-player action.

Originally released on the NeoGeo home-and-arcade platform, the run-and-gun action franchise has found its way onto the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. It's no stranger to gaming on the go, either, having received makeovers for mobile phones, the Game Boy Advance, and the NeoGeo Pocket Color.

IM ******* Crying im so happy right now! ALL 6 metal slugs ON THE PSP! PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS! PROOF THAT PSP OWNS AND PROOF THAT THIS SNK KICKS ASS! BASK IN ITS GLORY!

That really kicks ass, I love those Metal Slug games. Being able to play them (in all their glory) on a portable system is just... so beautiful :cry:

you need reasons to buy a psp now... although i try not to choose sides, after setting ds down again and deciding to "rebuy" my psp and playing it, i decided that the ds was in fact a piece of ****... ill admit, because its nintendo, its guarnteed to have lots of great titles in the long run, but figuring out how badly nintendo got screwed on this....

So many classics comming to psp now too!: powerstone, capcom collection, Metal slug, and im sure someday, contra will come too ^_^

I agree, I keep my DS because of Mario, the obscure games that come out for it ala "Trauma Center" & "Phoenix Wright", but I'm really starting to love my PSP

I love metal slug, and i love my psp but saddly i cannot agree. The GBA SP is the greatest hand held ever in my books. But i'm definitly grabbing these games, there are no questions involved, preorder bonus or not i'm ordering this one.

well, you are correct, but is it impossible to overthrow the gba? i think the psp has potential, if more companies would find out how to use it :) Metal slug couldnt really be done well on any handheld at the moment since none have as much ram and processing power as psp. I heard they would have to subtract a lot from the game if it were done on ds or gba, especially gba... not to mention it would take like 3 carts :lol:

BURN! But it's good that gradius is getting domestic release, i was thinking of importing it, but now that it's comming out here i'll just support Konami's domestic line rather than importing it.

1000th post...wooticles...

I do agree that the DS is a fat PoS, I'm really hoping the redesign feels good because my hands are dying from playing MP:H for 30 minutes. 

Anyway, I'm most looking forward to the DS RPG's because I love RPG's.  At least those won't cramp my hands...:

Lost Magic, Children of Mana, Xeno I & II (<<hey it's a collection!), FFIII, ASH, Contact, Tales of the Tempest, FF:CC, Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon, Pokemon D/P...

I hate to be a list maker, but since RPG's are my thing I'm grin and bearing my DS until the Lite comes out.  Then there'll be a steady flow of RPG's for a good year.  Plus Point Blank...POINT BLANK.
