PSP Metal Slug XX - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» SNK's Metal Slug 7 was released in the summer of 2008 for the Nintendo DS and one year later, SNK re-releases it on the Playstation Portable with a few new features for added value. Six army grunts are featured in the game including Slug stalwarts such as Marco and Eri. Ralf Jones and Clarke Still from the King of Fighters are also in the cast. Similar to the previous Metal Slug releases, the soldiers run from left to right across seven horizontally scrolling battlefield stages and shoot, jump, and lob bombs at enemy forces. When opposition grunts are shot, they'll burst with ruddy splashes of blood for some brutal realism. The end of each level is blocked by a boss which is generally challenging and formidable.

New features in the PSP release include a large collection of mini-games and ad-hoc cooperative play so gamers can link up and blast away like a two-person army corps. Upon starting up the game, the options are:

»
Main Mission - The meat and potatoes of MSXX [Single or Network Mode]
»
Ranking - See where you stand on the scoring leaderboard
»
Combat School - Learn the ways and means of Metal Slug XX
» POW List - Hapless prisoners of war may be viewed herein
» Option - Adjust game parameters

Some early preorders will ship with a bonus pair of blue and white striped Metal Slug boxers that
were given away by SNK in 50% ratio.
