And hold on:
"It's technically impressive" Earlier on you said: "this is a rehash of an increasingly average arcade-led series bizzarely shoehorned in to hardware that's not only inadequate for the job, but also offers features that are criminally underused." Is it adequate for the job or not? What features are "criminally underused"? You've acknowledged it doesn't need the touchscreen or the mic, and since Metal Slug has always been a horizontal-screen game it doesn't need a double-height display, so what other features of the DS are being "criminally underused"? The slidey power-button? Sleep mode? |

"It takes about 40 minutes to play through all seven levels on Beginner difficulty. (Beginner is for girls and homosexuals"
I'm sorry, are we accepting this sort of talk now? I know this isn't the sort of place where people get banned left right and centre, but this is a pretty wrong thing to say. I can only hope it was intended as a "joke", shame it wasn't the least bit funny. |

if this was Kotaku, he'd be banned, but then again, Kotaku is a sensitive little bitch that bans people left, right and centre on a whim

It's technically impressive within the constraints of the hardware. Yes. Actually, to be honest I was being a bit kind on them there. It's not impressive, it's passable. "Not gamers in general, because DS owners outnumber PSP owners by 2:1." Personally I think this game would have been better on PSP, and I don't even own a PSP. It would have looked nicer, played the same and as far as I can tell there's no reason for it to be a DS exclusive. |

So if it would have played the same, then the DS clearly isn't inadequate for the job, or criminally underused.

Being sexist and homophobic is hardly a whim fendermaster and undermines any point Rev is trying to make about Metal Slug, not that I can take anyone who hates Metal Slug 3 seriously...
I agree with JHuxley personally I'd rather have a Metal Slug game designed (rather than dumped as with Anthology, hence poor loading) for the PSP widescreen, or better still an HD revamped Metal Slug title on PSN and XboxLive. But I can understand why they would want to make it for as large an audience as possible, I just didn't know Metal Slug games were designed to be played by as large an audience as possible.
