Don’t you just love it when developers and publishers hold off on talking about their game until right before production comes to a close? It makes for a much more focused PR campaign, and the whole desperately-waiting-in-agony thing is less of an annoyance.
Metal Slug XXis coming out soon. Like,real soon. February 23, folks. Since it’s more or less what DS players experienced inMetal Slug 7with a fewnew additions, I can see why things happened this way. Some may see this as a negative, but personally, I don’t own a DS anymore, so it’s win-win.

I also cannot wait to see my PSP screen filled to the brink withMetal Slug XX‘s gorgeous sprites. I was blown away by the art of the original game, and more than a decade later, the series continues to impress me in awkward and often sensual ways.
Make sure to watch this new trailer for a quick recap of the game’s bulletpoints. It’s got lots of them. Also, bullets — it’s got lots of them too.
