No self-respecting videogame console would be complete without at least a handful of Metal Slug ports to its name, so we're happy to report that Metal Slug 3 will be arriving on all three of Sony's super systems later this year. Recently announced on the PlayStation Blog, the bombastic port will apparently come packed with some fresh new online features.
What's more, developer SNK Playmore is promising the "highest level NEOGEO emulation seen on the PSN yet". In other words, we'll be able to see every single minute pixel of confusion on your face as you realise that you probably already own this game on every other console that you've ever bought. In all seriousness, the sharp shooting classic sounds like a perfect match for Sony's beleaguered portable.
Are you excited to revisit Metal Slug 3, or has the slightly rubbish Mercenary Kings put you off the genre? Throw a grenade in the comments section below.

online coop?
Yes mercenary kings has put me off. That picture looks like a 16bit version of farcry 4
How was Mercenary Kings rubbish? I didn't like it, but it played just like any other game in that genre.
@Shellybird27 because everyone who purported to enjoy the game was in denial?
I still haven't booted up Mercenary Kings yet, but it sounded a little convoluted to me. Excited for Metal Slug though, very fond memories of this game
All Metal Slug games play better than Mercenary Kings (since they all play the same).
Good news indeed. Though I do hope SNK get off of their high horse and help Tommo improve the NGX. It's a neat system with huge potential; great idea, just lacking some fine tuning.
If I'm not mistaken, the Metal Slug games were pure arcade shooters whereas Mercenary Kings was a loot'em up disguised as an arcade shooter. So despite Merc Kings paying Metal Slug an obvious visual homage, they are quite different.
Besides I didn't think Merc Kings was bad. It just isn't the easiest game to get into. The 7/10 review you guys gave it was pretty fair to me.
I think Metal Slug 1 was the best of them all. So don't care and don't know.
@ostkaka read my mind!
I love these kinds of games, alway have and always will so I'll definitely be getting Metal Slug. When I first saw Mercenary Kings I was really happy to see it was coming to PS4 and even better, is was free. But when I tried it I was seriously let down. I can't put my finger on what it is that I don't like but all I know is I really don't like it. Its the only PlayStation game I own that I don't have a trophy for because I really can't be bothered to play it. A real let down. Atleast I know I'll enjoy Metal Slug.... Again lol.
yup, will be gettin this
