DAY 1!
hott!
Disappointed at the lack of new characters, but everything in the second part of the trailer, especially the new giant slug and the triple one, seems really good.
Too bad I probably won't play this because I don't have a DS... : /

Wow, that looked fantastic. Rawket Lawnchair. :D
:o

Now this looks like the Metal Slug game I have been hoping for. Hope that music from the trailer is in the game its self also. Anyone have a link to a higher quality version ether?
Ooh, nice.
Looks nice, but the character they have for Combat School or whatever looks out of place.
Can someone post pics please?
Can't complain. Although, I think a metal slug would be better suited for the psp handheld.
Looks sah-weet.
no Nazca, no sale
Nah, it would be better suited to no handheld at all. It's been rough for the MS series lately but you'd think a numbered Metal Slug game would at least deserve a console PSN/XBLA release.Originally Posted by Jcgamer60

woah! that is looking awesome! Buying this is a no brainer!
Nazca was absorbed into SNK after MS1... dunno where the original IREM/Nazca staff are these days though.Originally Posted by _dementia

Want & need.
Looks absolutely fantastic. First Bangai-o Spirits and now this beauty. :D
Oh yeah....!
Contra 4 was a great game, but I always preferred the overall feeling and aesthetics of the MS series better.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this one...I wonder if they'll include Leona, Whip and Heidern as secret characters for a "complete" Ikari Warrior set? :lol

METARRRRRU SLUG SEVEN
wats this from?
Me spys a bit of slowdown, hopefully it was just because of Youtube. Still, I'm always up for more insane 2D blasting.
Thank you.Originally Posted by handofg0d

Wanting wanting wanting.
I'd rather play this on my TV (on any system), but it's still looking damn awesome. Better than I thought it would that's for sure...
Nice!
The DS is on fire.

Looks really good.
Looks pretty good. Graphics are a bit weak (The DS can't match the Neo-Geo in 2d?) but framerate looks playable. DS needs more games like this. Contra IV was awesome but not enough.
I think the sprites look on par with the Neo versions. The backgrounds do resemble MS6's blander stuff than those in the Neo games, though.Originally Posted by Bebpo

DS can emulate NeoGeo... it's pretty easily more capable in all areas (sprites, scrolls, colors, memory), though the screens are lower res.Originally Posted by Bebpo

That's what I figured.Originally Posted by jarrod

Yet the animation is not as good and the framerate is far worse than MS on NeoGeo. Doesn't make much sense to me.
I mean it still looks great. But it should be 1:1 with MS1-6 visually and it's not quite there IMO.
I think the sprites look fine. Just the animation and degree of slowdown considering what's on screen are the issues.Originally Posted by jiji

Damn that actually looks really awesome, another "summer drought" purchase. :lol
This might sound like blasphemy to the Japanophile contingent but they should seriously consider letting you aim with the stylus. Like, you point in a direction and it shoots there. I've always hated how the d-pad (or arcade stick) on these types of games always controlled movement AND aim.
Likely because it's mostly recycled assets scaled lower res. Also, MS6 wasn't a Neo game, it was on Atomiswave (and also looked generally worse than the Neo titles imo).Originally Posted by Bebpo

Are all the sprites still scalled down? One thing I love about Metal Slug, apart from the addictive game play is the beautiful sprites and animations. Most of the reused sprites/animations were shown in previous shots as scaled down and it looked awful.
Day one purchase, when is the US release?

So Japanophiles are the only ones who might want non-crap controls?Originally Posted by Minotauro

They'd have to add a lot more frames of animation to get that to work, besides.
Man that Combat School chick is 100% generic anime quality there. I have no idea what they're thinking with that one.
Alright new and original portable SHOTGOWN and RAWKET LAWNCHAIR!
Wasnt she in alot of the artwork added to Metal Slug Anthology?Originally Posted by shidoshi

Nintendo Power mentioned that the game is 1 player only. No co-op.
It does look great though.

My brother, a Metal Slug fan, always complains about the lack of co-op modes in DS games and will be seriously pissed about this. I'm also annoyed.. Was there any mention of the reason in NP?Originally Posted by The Main Event

Brand new Metal Slug? Check.
On a portable without watered down graphics and sfx? Check.
Day 1 purchase? Hell yes.
