Metal Slug in HD?

[Alpha Six]

As long as they don't make it 3D. I hate to see franchises so great move away from sprite based gameplay.

The KOF series did, although it didn't exactly "move away" from 3D, especially considering KOF XII. The first 3D game, Maximum Impact, may have been bad, but 2006 (aka MI 2) ruled hard. It almost perfectly matched the old-school 2D gameplay while adding some new features.

regardless, i am super into SNK, and i can't wait to see what they do with this.
Although I have NEVER been good at Metal Slug
