I have been a fan of the metal slug games for a while and i cant wait for the US release for metal slug 7.

Metal Slug 7 boxart will soon wrap copies of Metal Slug 7

I hope that Metal Slug 7 gets a Pal release too.
I seems like a cross with the looks of Metal Slug 3 combined with the cool enhancements of part 6.

Sadly, still no Nadia or Trevor to be seen.
I do know why, but I still like them.

maybe they r secret characrers

Perhaps, but the reason why I think they are omitted from later Metal Slug games is because most sprites in Metal Slug 4 are edited versions of older Metal Slug sprites.

Nadia and Trevor has the same moves and sprites as Tarma and Eri respectively.
The MS 4 team only changed the hairdo and recoloured the sprites.

Still Nadia & Trevor are really cool characters in my book.

I failed to notice any Wifi features btw.
Darn, it would be awesome to play co-op online or online leaderboards.
That would really up the ante for this installment.

I can definitely see co-op but idk if they will do online play

I have to say only 1 word why: lag.
For hectic games like this one there aren't any tolerance for any slowdown.

But if Castlevania:PoR can do lagfree co-op why not Metal Slug 7?

lag would kill the game so bad lol. I can imagine dying everything im in a middle of a jump or sumthing like that lol

Yeah, that would be horrific.
Imagine a killer boss attack where you have to avoid with pin-point accuracy and then it freezes for 2 seconds.
You are surely cooked.

Here is a preview with more recent info from Gamespot:

Sadly it could be that the different stats for each character has been taken out in MS 7.

It will get released in Japan next month, that means for Americans you can get it around october-november 2008.

For Pal regions is it is unknown at the moment if it will come out or not.
If it does come out I expect around february-april 2009 or a full year(see Megaman ZX and Advent).
