Atlus?! O RLY?
Strange that SNKP won't release it themselves.
Isn't this a remix of 7? If so, color me uninterested.
SNKP hasn't published their own titles since SNKPUSA folded...I think their last title was SamSho Antho.
This is further proof that Ignition is shitcanning SNKP. Ah well, it's SNKP's own damn fault.

Yah, it really does look like Ignition might be dropping SNKP if this is going through Atlus.. I'm sure the sales of Metal Slug 7 and King of Fighters 12 went under expectations, and the King of Fighters 12 patch situation.. meh.
Any ways, Atlus? There are Atlus fan boys coming out of the walls that just buy anything that says Atlus on it. And I really don't know if that is a good thing. I have very little hope that Metal Slug XX will be much if ANY better than MS7 and any sort of potentially increased sales numbers could give SNKP the impression that this is the sort of game we want.

LOL @ that, for sumthin that already existing in the game.
I refuse to purchase extra content like this. This nickel and dime shit needs to stop. What are they going to do next generation, charge us extra for surround sound?

I made a whole thread regarding DLC and why it is BS that stuff contained on the disc requires fee's as high as 12.99$ to give you a 100kb download that just unlocks it from your existing game.
The way things are going, I may just stop with gaming on a bigger scale in the near future, because I've been saving/investing more and feel that money is better used on things I can pay off immediately or immediately own, not some game that costs 60$ plus other nonsense fee's for shit already contained. The ONLY dlc that should be legally sold is DLC that is a totally different thick file add on. Either that, or they can fuck off.
I also predicted recently that SNKP would fold, and I don't feel a bit sorry about this.

Metal Slug XX is indeed a remix of Metal Slug 7. I was wondering why people who have already played the game (ARRRRRRRRRRR MATEYS) were wondering why there was no other way to play as Leona other than using CWCHEAT codes.
$19.99 is a great price, but PAID DLC for the PSP? Give me a fucking break. Also keep in mind that this game is also coming out for Xbox Live Arcade, likely for $10.
I wouldn't even refer to this kind of DLC as "DLC." They're unlock keys. Namco is by far the worst offender when it comes to this.
Although there have also been instances of actual DLC being released that was purposely kept out of the original game, so that the companies could make more money; Tomb Raider Underworld's two extra levels are a good example of this. It's proven to profitable.

Already played & enjoyed the game on the DS, not going to give this a chance.
I'm 100% for re-release of titles, but if you're going to do that, you had better make some kind of significant improvement. All it appears they did with this one is change things just enough to try to call it new (MS2 to MSX style, obviously). At least 2 to X had some needed slowdown fixes & such, this is just BS.

It's on a system with resolution that can handle the game and not make it look squished and ugly. That alone makes it better than MS7.
I never bothered with it on DS since it looked so awful. Contra IV was more than enough.

I have the DS version and think it looks pretty good for being on such a small screen. I don't think I'd be paying to DL it on any other system, though... It's mediocre but just not as much fun as the older games (Like X & 3).

I didn't get the DS version because of all the bad reviews so I'm glad they are putting in on PSP. Almost gave in because I love me some MS
