Sure is, 1-6, Metal Slug Anthology

But anyway, if this had The Last Blade, Garou or Neo Drift Out it'd've gotten my money, but not today, SNK, not today. Maybe Vol.2 or Vol.3 (if they come out) will have a couple newer/better games. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Baseball Stars 2, Neo Turf Masters, Metal Slug, Sengoku and Shock Troopers, but it's just not enough for a sale without a solid title such as SvC Chaos or the aforementioned Garou or Last Blade.
