Metal Slug 7 - The End of an Era? It’s Certainly NOT the Neo Geo! - Nintendo DS
194It's Metal Slug Mania Time! A Ten Part Series dedicated to looking at the history and evolution of the mainline Metal Slug franchise from SNK! Well the fun had to stop at some point in time and Metal Slug 7 is the last game in the mainline franchise from SNK! Sure it's on the Nintendo DS vs the Neo Geo AES / MVS and that's always a bummer but it's a solid final entry in the franchise up to this point...or is it?! Retro gaming suspense intensifies!

I really wanted to take a look at the Metal Slug franchise as it's one of my favorite arcade series of all time and the history behind the games and their evolution is quite interesting. When it comes to retro gaming you can't skip Metal Slug!
Up next: Metal Slug 7. This is the end of the video series and the mainline Metal Slug franchise. Since Metal Slug 7 released on the Nintendo DS there has never been a Metal Slug 8...and how sad is that? Sure 7 has the same awesome run and gun arcade action we know and love and the huge boss fights...but it's just an "ok" game. Metal Slug as a franchise didn't end in a whimper or a bang...more like a shrug and a "nice knowing you". It's not the worst ending for retrogaming royalty like Metal Slug but it should have been a LOT better.
Fingers crossed Metal Slug 8 gets announced one day!
