SNK Playmore has made an announcement the 15th that it will released the official trailer for Metal Slug 7 at 7:00PM (GMT+9) on May 16th. The bad news is that the video is being distributed through the ShowTime portal, which has rather an annoying history of blocking out anyone browsing using foreign ISP from using their services. The good news, however, is that it didn't take long for me to figure out a backdoor and grab the video. And since the site has bandwidth to burn now, I will now be posting videos in streaming format via Flash with embed code publicly available so that you can link to the videos on other boards, blogs, etc.


It's hilarious that whoever made this trailer mixed up the footages of Eri and Fio. Anyways, the scenes showing the Slug Truck and Slug Gigant really take the cake here. Otherwise, the rest are things that you should know about, if you have been visiting this site consistently.

(There is no embed feature on this board, so I can't directly link to the video. Click on the image and it will take you to the article containing the video.)

Looks really good!

Hope to play it really soon.

It's the first big surprise I have after the first pictures of KOF XII and since SNK P exists... so it's since 2003.

Ugh...those backgrounds.

Looks ugly and boring.

I'll still buy it, but begrudgingly so.

The giant walking slug looks good. The rest looks recycled :( They seriously need to either put this series to rest or give it a huge makeover. Still, I'll get it as love the Slugs.

Sincerely,

Mikhail

yeah. it's tough, I get why they'd recycle the stuff people love, but they gotta keep it a bit fresh and throw in some new ideas.... the series is worth keeping around and I'll buy 7 for sure!

I think this series needs to be put to rest. I love the Slugs, but honestly they are basically all the same. This will soon be SNKs version of dynasty warriors.

I was seriously interested in this for a moment then I saw the words "Nintendo DS".

Fuck you SNK Playmore. You can't even do this series the dignity of putting it on a real home console and instead you put it on a fucking handled.

Sorry, the future of 2D is handhelds.

I dunno, looks way too "been there, done that" to me.
I'm not impressed.

Goofy logo aside, this looks like it might be decent. Put me in the camp that would've rather seen it released for the PSP, though.

If I can't play some Slug on a large big HDTV screen then it's just not worth playing. I don't like having to squint to look at my games.

Yeah but SNKP was wiser to go with DS since there are more people out there that own DS compaired to PSP. Not to mention there is probably more pirated PSP software than DS. Much easier to hack. And cheaper to hack than having to put $100+ to play back up DS games.

I agree. For the most part been there, but I know I'll buy this day 1 anyway. :p

Slugs are all same to each other but I still love to play em somehow. They have this weird attractiveness. ANyway the vid was sweet.

I think it'd be sort of neat to have it on the PSP; that way I could hook it up to my tv. I just fear DS games because usually they find a way to bug me with some sort of gimmick using the touch screen. Then sometimes you get games like Portrait of Ruin that make owning a DS even more worthwhile. That being said, I'll probably pick up ms7 just to see how it goes.

The Truth speaks :glee:

It's a shame, because it looks pretty good in places, but I really don't think I'd enjoy squinting at the DS's tiny screen to play it.

Still, SNK Playmore seem unable to put a decent fucking port out of Slugs 1,2,X and 3 on the PS2 so I suppose there's no hope of seeing MS7 on a TV screen. If there's one series that's been fucked up since the original SNK became defunct, it's the metal slug series.
