SNK Playmore Suite Visit

I got a chance to swing by the SNK Playmore Suite at GDC to check out some of their offerings. Most of what they had going on on their screens were showings of their various game anthologies including Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2, King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, King of Fighters Collection Orochi Saga, Samurai Shodown Anthology, SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 and World Heroes Anthology. Not a whole lot new here but there were a couple of nice looking trailers for King of Fighters XII and the New Samurai Shodown.

The real treat however was a little surprise waiting on a DS in the corner, Metal Slug 7! I hot footed it over to the corner of the room and practically wrestled the girl playing it to the ground in my attempt to check out the game. It looked great, played better and had everything you could possibly want from a Metal Slug game. So if you are ready for a new Metal Slug experience, look no further than Metal Slug 7, coming soon to a DS near you.

Holy crap!
Now that's something... Never been so glad to own a R4 until now. I'm really a big fan of Metal Slugs, but only played them on Neo Geo -emulators (and the 5th doesn't even work).

Metal Slug 7 will be amazing, but it's too bad it will be DS exclusive

Great news, but it would have been better news if there were KOF releases on DS :( cmon SNK if you're doing rehashes, go all out and put some fighting love on the ds
