Gaming Bits writes: "Once upon a time, you needed a powerful and expensive system to enjoy a Metal Slug game. Now, the series has invaded every platform. I've honestly lost track of all the different versions. There's compilations and even digital downloads from various games in the series. Metal Slug 7, lucky #7, is an exclusive and notable release for the Nintendo DS platform.
The graphics and animation of Metal Slug 7 look great and don't skip a beat on the DS. It has the slick look the Metal Slug series is known for. There's no slowdown with all the action and canon fodder going on. It's among the best graphical presentations on the Nintendo's DS handheld. Characters, environments, slugs, enemies, and explosions all look crisp and colorful. The audio is what you'd expect from the series, from POW's "thank you!" to the screams from your enemies."
OXG talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include Coro Pata (DS import), Darius Burst (PSP import), Lina no Atelier: Strahl no Renkinjutsushi (DS import), Simple 2500 Series: Akuma Hunters – Exorsister (PSP import), and Metal Slug XX (PSP import).
It's Metal Slug. Nothing more, nothing less. Fans will love it but everyone else should track down the recent Wii anthology.
Garou: Mark of the Wolves comes out on Xbox Live Arcade this summer. Garou was announced with a slew of other SNK developed XBLA games like The King of Fighters: Sky Stage, which doesn't even have a release date.
Metal Slug 7 was previously announced as an Xbox Live Arcade game, but it was missing from the list. So, "Spencer" from siliconera.com inquired about it. Robert Macchiaverna, Acquisitions Manager at Ignition Entertainment, explained "It is still happening, but I believe that's scheduled to be a 2010 title." Ignition published Metal Slug 7 on the DS (pictured) in North America and has a close relationship with SNK. "Ultimate Match ['98] is coming out this year, but Metal Slug is not," Macchiaverna continued.
Just one more year. Maybe a two-thirds of year until co-op Slug Gigant action.
this game was a blast i still wonder why they didn't add wifi and multiplayer
if the 360 version had multiplayer i would consider buying it again
only problem is the length though kinda short
price as well
