Atlus announced today that it is bringing Metal Slug XX, a side-scrolling, arcade-style, run-and-gun shooter to the PlayStation Portable next month. The latest entry in the Metal Slug series, the XX game will feature ad-hoc multiplayer and cooperative arcade play.

The game comes with six classic Metal Slug characters, including Marco, Tarma, Fio, Eri, Ralf, and Clark. You can also purchase Leona for $.99 USD. You’ll get more than 70 mission-based trials in “Combat School” to give the game some legs. Perhaps best of all, the game will only set you back $19.99.

     Wow i remember all the time i wasted playing metal slug games. I will most likely have to get this. Its too bad that games like this cant be played on both PSP and PS3, but either way it should still be fun.

    FIRST!!

     Right so it's gonna be done by Atlus? Ok Euro-gang, looks like we're importing this one if another publisher doesn't release it here, although saying that we did get R-Type Tactics...barely because of Rising Star

    metal slug X is the best one, I hope XX it's as twice as good

    now that they mentioned metal slug, they should make a remake of metal slug X with HD graphics for the PS3 Store. It will look awesome and it's always nice to have a nice arcade shooter game to distract your mind every once in a while
