"SNK Playmore USA president Ben Herman mentioned the company's future plans:

Developers are looking into how to use the Wii controller in Metal Slug
Anthology

Metal Slug 6 will not be included in Metal Slug Anthology, however the
game will likely appear in a Nintendo platform, because 2D games are not
suitable for PS3 or Xbox 360

Sony has rejected a number of their 2D projects for PS2, because they
do not correspond to the graphic standard

Metal Slug for GBA is a port of the first title in the series, coming
out in September 2006

SNK Playmore does not plan to release future titles for Xbox

Wii will receive the most software support from SNK Playmore

The PS2 shooter Twinkle Star Sprites will not be published in US
because there's no market for the genre "

Herman usually has no idea what he's talking about, so I tend not to
take what he says at face value.

That being said, it's always SNKP's US price point Sony had a problem
with, not the game itself.

And I also call bullshit on Herman's comment that they will support the
PS2 with budget titles.
