SNK seems to also be banking hard on the loyalty of its fanbase, as it is also planning to develop an actual successor to the Neo Geo console, which are named “Neo Geo Version 2 and 3” for now. One of those timeless classics that you can pick up at any time. I still fondly remember playing Metal Slug X on the original PlayStation years ago, and sitting in amazement that I can easily keep playing even after I lose all my lives by simply hitting ‘CONTINUE’. It certainly helps that the game has somewhat of a timeless quality and rather simplistic gameplay elements.
The series has a very loyal following, and some purists to this day still own original Neo Geos to play with.
If all goes well, SNK’s Metal Slug, which has not been titled as of yet, may be the first main Metal Slug release following 2008’s Metal Slug 7. This may come as a somewhat good surprise to Metal Slug fans everywhere, as there have been reservations regarding Tencent’s handling of its mobile game releases. This Metal Slug is apparently an all-new release, and not at all linked with the mobile game currently being developed by mobile giant Tencent. The original report is in Japanese, but a Twitter user has since translated it to reveal that not only is there a new Metal Slug in development, but also a Neo Geo Version 2 and 3. This piece of news comes from an investor relations report for the SNK corporation via another report by Ruliweb. A new Metal Slug game is apparently currently in development for consoles.
