It’s happening again! Your favorite franchises are being dumped onto Nintendo’s handheld and there’s nothing you can do about it. SNK Playmore’s Metal Slug 7 adds to the bodycount on November 18th, courtesy of Ignition Entertainment. Ignition has a website up for the North American release, and it actually features the entire soundtrack in mp3 format, free of charge. Score one for us as Japanese fans are currently dishing out 2,000 yen for the same stuff on iTunes.
After a bit of arduous research on YouTube, I discovered that Toshikazu Tanaka of Studio Aqua handled the music for this new handheld incarnation of the classic side-scrolling shooter. He has a few Metal Slug titles to his name, including Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5, and Metal Slug 3D, as well as music for the 3D incarnations of the King of Fighters series.
