"In order to meet our fans demands for an HD version of Metal Slug, we're considering bringing this series to the new generation of consoles in a similar way to KOF XII," said SNK Playmore in an interview with IGN to be published later today, continuing, "We look forward to announcing this someday soon."

Metal Slug 7, an all new instalment exclusive to the DS, is coming to these shores later this month.

I hope it turns out well.

It won't.

How about make something that I'm not totally sick of in HD. A higher resolution won't make a stale formula magically awesome again.

I haven't played Metal Slug in years myself, so I'm kind of excited. I'd be even more excited if it was a HD remake of an older game instead of a completely new game.

I dunno, GRIN could do some magic with this shit hypothetically.

So after making a 3D one and an exclusive handheld one, they have now finally come to realize what the fans have been asking for all along. Better late than never I guess.

I personally haven't sunk time into the series after 3 so I'm not burned out on it quite yet. No remake, please, just make something which shows that the series still kicks ass.

Where does it say that GRIN is going to be working on this? If so, my hopes are up after how great Bionic Commando Rearmed turned out.

As much as i am all for HD-classics, with how SF2THDR is looking, and a lot of "HD" games, they seem to lose their style and look more and more generic.

i said hypothetically

I'd hate for SNKP to do this.

KoF XII says, "Hi. I'm full of personality!"

This would have been awesome if they did it for Metal Slug 4 like they should have,

If this is all pixel art like KoF I might get it to ogle the art, but if it has crappy rendered backgrounds like 6 I think I'm going to say fuck it.

Considering SNK's status at that point, maybe it's more fair to say "Metal Slug 5."

It was a Mega Enterprise/Noise Factory joint, wuddinit?

Yeah, it was, but I really just mean that it should have happened some time after 3, and 4, 5, and 6 were a waste of time.
