Metal Slug GBA Announced
Playmore, SNK's license-holder, reveals its first internal GBA product.


August 01, 2002 - Playmore, the Japanese company that now holds the rights to SNK intellectual properties, announced today that it will produce a Game Boy Advance Metal Slug title. No details, release dates, or game information were revealed on the game, other than its temporary name: Metal Slug Survival Mission.
This is the first game to be internally produced by the SNK company...the upcoming King of Fighters EX title for the GBA was developed and published in Japan by Marvelous Entertainment, with Sammy and Majesco co-publishing the title in the US.

We'll have more tidbits on Metal Slug Survival Mission as the game progresses in development.

All RIGHT!!! I hope its like the arcade, not the NGPC where you had a lifebar and vehicles were like seperate levels... :( I want the fast pace action of MS 3 or 4... just you, your gun, and HUNDREDS of enemies.

Well sorry to disapoint you but the GBA is just not near powerful enough. For one MS3 has 512 megabits of graphics. GBA can't hope to hold that much data just for graphics. Also the screen resolution on the gba is shit. Stick to NeoGeo. This new Metal Slug game will be ignored most likely as was the NGP metal slug games.

On of the best parts of MS was the fluid, vivid, and otherwise amazing graphics and animation. The gba just isn't capable.
