Gamespot has the first details (http://www.gamespot.com/arcade/action/metalslug6/news_6132428.html) on SNK Playmore`s upcoming arcade shooter for Sammy's Atomiswave system.

The most surprising thing about this sequel is the addition of two new characters from another of SNK`s popular series, The King of Fighters. The new characters, Ralf and Clark, will have their own special abilities that you can put to good use in the game.

First off, we don't need KoF in Metal Slug. Secondly, Ralf and Clark? What the heck? There are far too many good KoF chars to choose Ralf and Clark. For example, Terry, Blue Mary, Billy Kane, Mai, Athena, Joe, Ryo, King, and perhaps best suited, Whip!

Shame they don't seem to be taking full advantage of the hardware -- from the look of these screens they've got lovely new hi-res backgrounds, but the sprites appear to be ripped straight from the Neo-Geo versions. But if it plays as good as 3 I'm there.

I wish more 2D side scrollers were more common...the CPS-1 days were the absolute best.

Can't wait for the up and coming Extreme Ghouls'n Ghosts!

Did you check out Donkey Konga: Jungle Beat?

They probably picked Ralf and Clark since they're from Ikari Warriors. I don't see a problem with it..and the other characters you mentioned would not fit in the game at all.

Maybe because they can fit into the storyline easily? Theyre mercs after all :D

I'd love to see a side scroll remake of Castlevania (the first game).

I HATE metal slug.
Not because it's a bad game, but because they loaded it over the only game I played at my uni arcade, Strikers 1945 plus...

A true injustice.

woot woot woot woot - that's just way too nerdy for me. It makes a difference who's in the game?

No, they wouldn't fit... but if you're going to throw in some KoF chars, why not make it interesting? :)

How many times can these guys release the same game?

Looks pretty nice, and I'm sure it'll be just as fun as the others. I love a good simple fun game like that. Pretty to boot!

Metal Slug pwnz!

I just wish they'd take advantage of the hardware. Keep it 2D, but make it like.. 2 1/2-D. Make the backgrounds 3D and the ships 3D, but keep the guys and the gameplay 2D.

They seem to fit better than any other character. They are mercs, were Ikari Warriors...soldiers. There are no other soldiers in KoF except Heidern and Leona. It makes sense to me.

But that is just my opinion.

they need to make some sort of flash-rendering hardware that draws 2d vector stuff really quickly as well as sprites

you could have some pretty awesome looking 2d games

Yeah, dude. One of the NERDS on this videogame site cares about what characters they put in a videogame! Imagine that! Dork! Let us stone him to death! And let he who is not a huge dork cast the first stone!


...anyone?
