DualShockers writes, "If you miss that arcade feel from the 90's, SNK Playmore has you covered. METAL SLUG XX is the latest offering from the METAL SLUG series dating back to 1996, and is a remake of METAL SLUG 7 which was released on the Nintendo DS back in 2008. This side-scrolling game out now for the PSP keeps the tradition of the series with cartoonish graphics and lots of action. Another great reason to pick it up is the $19.99 price tag, which is much cheaper than most PSP games. The question is, would you want to play it?..."
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.

This game series is great, but another series in dire need of innovation!
Good review, although I can't say I'd be much interested in this particular title. ;)
