They didn't put wifi on Cardfighters, you think they'd do it here?
I'd love to eat those words, but you know it's not likely.
This isn't such bad news though.
The DS is a solid 2D machine that could conceivably do the series some justice.
You know... if only SNKP had been able to the series justice up until now with the original hardware they were working with.
Although to contradict what I just said a bit I did really enjoy MS6.

I can't help but feel angry that one of the greatest arcade series is now relegated to a handheld.Average Joe said:
I know, it's stupid to talk about a video game's honor or whatever it is that makes me feel this way, but...it's Metal Slug. To continue the main series on the DS, and not make it an offshoot like MSA, just doesn't feel right.

yay for it being on handheld
nay for it being part of the main series.

wow guys,
don't be so down on this.
you know us sales are one thing.
but if anyone is forgeting, the ds is still selling like gangbusters
in japan. and you gotta go where the money is.
and making something profitable in japan and getting residual sales
here in the states kind of makes sense.
i mean come on guys. forget about metal slug advance.
that was a fluke man!

My thoughts exactlyOrochiEddie said:
I enjoyed the ones on NGPC, but the style of them was so different, they didn't always feel like MS. Here's hoping that this one, assuming it comes to pass (we'll see it in what, like 5 years?), sticks to the same style as the originals.
One good thing that could come from this is...a MS game, in the same style and feel of the originals, but longer...as in like all the previous games combined long...since it's a console game, it can't just be 6 missions, right?
Okay, fine, we know it won't happen, but I can dream, right?
I was just wishing the other day that they had tried to port Anthology to the DS. I don't carry my PSP anymore, and running the roms on my gp2x just doesn't always cut it
I'd love to have a good MS game on the go. I really want to be optimistic about this, but I fear the worst. Especially if it means no more arcade MS
So when does the "SNK delayed Metal Slug 7 DS" thread start?

Na, I'm also looking forward to Contra 4, and that other side scrolling run n' gun coming to the DS.
Don't mind these elitist fags.
I think it s bullshit, a bad traduction.

Same here...Metal Slug Advance was not bad, and it could have been great with some more polish and tweaking. Let's hope they take their time with this. If it's just a notch or two better than MS Advance, it will be a pretty good game.

I am too.
SNKP is just following the current trend. First a Dragon Quest main title, then a Contra main title, now a Metal Slug main title. DS sales and popularity make it a good system to put Metal Slug on, not to mention how well the sprites will look. I'm excited. ^_^

I'll be optimistic and hold judgment until I read reviews and see how other people here like it... and to see if there's a catastrophic bug keeping a person from completing the game --normally I don't worry about stuff like that, but lately...

It probably won't be very good, but you never know. At least Marco is apparently in it. One of my main problems with Advance was that I really wanted to play as Marco. Maybe they're making up for canceling Metal Slug on Game boy. Maybe even be an extra on this one?
