Metal Slug 7 has been confirmed for the Nintendo DS by the SNK Playmore Corporation and Ignition Entertainment to the sound of thunderous applause from Metal Slug fans. Having not given an exact date, SNK stated they plan to release the game in the fall of this year. 

Even though the series originated in 1996, the revolutionary platformer has engaged audiences for the past decade--re-releasing their titles on a barrage of different handhelds and consoles. Not limiting themselves to specific companies, Metal Slug Anthology had a duel-release on the Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii and encompasses all of the previous Metal Slug titles. SNK's formula for a fast-paced, frenzied shoot 'em up proves valiant over time giving Metal Slug 7 a very promising approach for its launch. Expect it to arrive on the Nintendo DS this fall.
