Metal Slug 7 looks amazing in action!
Passionate Styos \| 8:55 AM on 05.17.2008	21 comments

The above video is the Japanese commercial for Metal Slug 7, and I have to say, I'm really impressed how the game looks for a NDS game. The frame rate looks perfect and it looks like the sprites are working really well (comparing let's say..Metal Slug for PS1, where the movements where awful). Also, there are even more Slugs to use, even giant robots and the bosses looks really good.

I'm already hyped for this game, since I'm a fan of run and gun games, specially when it's about Metal Slug and it seems this one will be a good one.

Thoughts?

FUCK YEAAAA

Spitfire

total metal slug fan. this game looks just as amazing as the rest. I cant wait.

Xelotath

This will be awesome, I'll buy it for sure. Also, I love those Japanese trailers with the announcers, whatever the game is they make it sound so amazing.

weirdfunk

YUM.
when does this come out?

Passionate Styos

@Weirdfunk

July 22 2008 in Japan, but just that, at least that's what Wikipedia says.

@Xelotath
You should check out the latest Disgaea(sp?) promo, the announcer is Norio Wakamoto(the voice of Johnny from guilty gear) so it's pretty epic, plus it has a musical number.

Another title to add to my growing list of games I need when I get a DS. Anyone think it would be too much of a ripoff to add Leona to the series and give her only close quarters moves like Noitu Love 2?

Demtor

Wow, those vehicles look amazing. I can't wait! Also, this game would be 10 times better if I had a Japanese commercial announcer cheering me on as I played this game.

Depending on when this comes out, this'll probably be the next DS game I get. I've always loved the Metal Slug series. My only concern/question would be how are they going to use the touch screen, if they're going to use it at all (besides menu navigation).

Excel-2011

It looks like a cross between 3 and 6. Just like what the last one shoulda been.

groudaxius

Hard to believe this comes from the same company that brought us witch touchan gaems.

Xelotath

@s0lesurviv0r: Yeah I saw that one, it was the best thing I ever saw/heard.

taumpytears

Can an American ds play Japanese games? This is mighty tempting.

Passionate Styos

@Taumpy:

Yes you can, you can play any game on your NDS, no matter which region is, the same with the PSP.

Torzelan

Will get!

Simon

Do Want !

Guagloves

This looks freaking sweet.

nilcam

I love me some Metal Slug. The fact that it's on DS makes it even sweeter.

Hitogoroshi
