GamingUnion.net: "Metal Slug XX isn't a bad game by any means. One can tell that SNK Playmore put a lot of work into the sprite-based graphics and fine-tuned the enemy placement for the most part. However, this being the seventh game in the series, more of the same old isn't enough. Metal Slug XX is still stuck in the arcade mentality where control issues and a lack of depth are considered "features". Because of this, only the hardcore fans and those with nostalgia for the Metal Slug series can truly enjoy the game."
SNK has just released Metal Slug XX on the PC via Steam. However, it appears that this port is mediocre as it lacks the ability to remap your keys. The game also lacks any meaningful graphics settings, making this offer feel less attractive than playing the game via the MAME emulator.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The Neo Geo was something of an oddity in the gaming market – a family of systems that included the MVS arcade machine, AES home console machine, and a number of short-lived experiments such as the Neo Geo CD and Neo Geo Pocket. What tied these all together were the brilliant 2D titles created by SNK, which included a number of the most enjoyable fighting games of their time. Thanks to the company’s resurrection in recent years and some internal cheerleaders at Sony, the Vita has been home to a great number of Neo Geo games, although sadly it hasn’t received the brilliant Arcade Archives series by Hamster, meaning it's an incomplete library."
The switch is also another portable NeoGeo, lots of incredible games on it. If you like old school beat them ups and fighting games, as well shoot them ups, it's the place to be. The Vita will go down as an incredible piece of tech that got overlooked. Still playing mine to this day.

Hm I think Anthology's probably the better deal here.
yay port xD
metal slug was always a fun arcade game, but bad controls on a psp can definitely be a make it or break it sort of issue.
i wonder how well these games sell, cause they just keep on making them
for SNKP to knuckle up, throw down and put some HD hand drawn effort and release a full fledge Metal Slug three play co-op for XBL/PSN!
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
