The pair are not exactly strangers, having been cozy together for quite some time on the European side of the pond. Beyond Metal Slug 7, which represents the retro shooter's first outing on Nintendo's handheld, no other titles have been announced, though considering SNK's pedigree we expect the fruits of this union, whatever they are, to be decidedly 2D.

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'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. :\
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!
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!
I have noticed that you say "granted" a lot in your posts. Just an observation.
Will be picking up Metal Slug 7 when it hits the UK for sure

...this man speaks the truth. SNK/Ignition/who-the-hell-ever; heed this suggestion "with the quickness".
That being said, I'm not sure I could justify laying down 30$ or more for a single Metal Slug. In this day and age, games this short tend to appear on XBLA, PSN, or Steam, for around 15$. The entire Metal Slug anthology was 40$, which is less than 6 a game, and when I can still enjoy them, why waste all the cash on what's likely to be a 30 minute experience?

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