Ignition, SNK to co-publish Metal Slug 7 in North America

I'm a huge fan of Metal Slug... it's a very detailed game, very well animated, specially for being a sprite based game.

I spent a lot of money playing Metal Slug on the arcades =p


PS. Metal Slug 7 is DS exclusive, right? I mean, is not on the arcades, or am I wrong? I haven't played it.

I think it is DS exclusive -- I think I recall seeing a preview article on it referring to it; supposedly done well too.

I'd like to buy an Onyx DS... but I know the moment I do, they'll come out with a green/black one I want more. :\

Fernando, why do you make a small post and then reply to yourself with an actual comment?

@ Martez

I think it has to do with Fernando's rushing to make first comments or something. Not that it bothers me, but I have noticed it too. Any truth to that Fernando?

Secondly, hell fucking yeah! I love Metal Slug too.

Thirdly, (I have a lot to say to you guys) @ FOXHOUND

I know what you're saying. I kind of like the crimson/onyx DS and the cobalt/onyx DS but dammit if they come out with an olivegreen/onyx DS or something I would be all over that!

Foxhound,

I just dumped my polar white DS on eBay, got $100 for it. It was a launch DS Lite. I sold it because I have a funny feeling Nintendo is releasing a new DS. I don't care what they say...their due for new hardware. The GBA is DEAD, no need for that port. And, they've milked the color thing already. A new DS is imminent.

LOL it's for those exact reasons why I'm so hesistant; of which the same goes for PSP. Granted, my phat-ass PSP broke(my own doing, messing with "toolz")... but with that Kratos-Crimson one coming out before Summer, I'm holding off on buying a Slim until that releases(and it's a much better deal).

My big worry right now is as you guys mentioned... getting that onyx DS and suddenly that green/onyx(or worse, an entirely new DS style)is released. Like a damned smack to the forehead and a swift boot of my wallet, it is!

@foxhound,

I have noticed that you say "granted" a lot in your posts. Just an observation.

...this man speaks the truth. SNK/Ignition/who-the-hell-ever; heed this suggestion "with the quickness".

Metal Slugs gorgeous art would need to be remade to be in HD. Not saying that's a bad thing, I'd just prefer they finish KOFXII before upgrading MS.

Probably it will $20 in a very short time... once the sales drop.

But it will be nice to have this exclusive game on a portable system.
