Proclaiming that it is the "ultimate game," this trailer for the Nintendo DS version of Metal Slug 7 is all business. Loud, hot lead business. It's the first entry in the very action-packed series on Ninty's dual-screener, which seems from this video to be more than up to the sprite-pushing challenge it presents. There's nary a hint of slowdown, which tells us either the programmers are ace or the video is sped up. Surely it's the former. We'll know for certain when the game hits – nay, demolishes – shelves in November.

I can assure you that this game rocks! I got the Japanese version and I can't wait for this one to come out to purchase. The hype is all true for this game. thing is tho like every metal slug game it can get repetitive. But it's still awesome!!

To be fair, Seattle is one of the few places Starbucks has some real competition.
Also, yay Metal Slug.

There was the anthology, which supplies an adequate serving of badassness.

While it is very good, it is a major MAJOR downer that there is no multiplayer of any sort. Last level is kinda short too compared to others like in Metal Slug 3.

Everything is short compare to last level of metal slug 3.

Yea same here, but its kind of short and the their use for the bottom screen is pretty much useless. But the game is still fun.

Looks exactly like I thought it would. AWSEOME.
But what the fuck is up with the retarded DS commercials? SHOW THE SCREEN ASSHOLES, not the DS itself! "Heres what it may look like if you are looking over someones shoulder who is playing" LAME

Sexy sprites? Check.
Big bosses? Check.
Ugly artwork? Check.
Too many damned enemies? Check.
Fio? Oh, hell yes.
All I need is a confirmation of the cheesy anouncer saying "RAWKET LAWNCHAIR" AND "IWORN BLIZZARD" and this game is fukken bought.

A game that looks as sweet as this deserves to be on a real TV, not just a handheld. /disapointed
