Remember Metal Slug 2 for the NEOGEO? If you do, then you're in for a real treat as SNK has ported over the 2D run-and-gun game to iOS and Android devices, rounding out the series as the original Metal Slug and Metal Slug 3 have already been ported. What's interesting about this release is that SNK has included several new features in addition to all the original goodness.
Even if you're not familiar with the Metal Slug series, this arcade platformer packs a lot of fun and features a great cast of characters, including Marco, Tarma and two new female recruits Eri, a former super agent, and Fio the heir of a military family. Of course, your mission, should you choose to accept is to take down the General Morden's diabolical plan as usual. And while not all ports are created equal to a native-built game with the current system in mind, I have to admit Metal Slug 2 is as fun as it once was. It definitely brings back a bit of nostalgia, but also comes through in feeling fairly concrete on the newer mobile platforms.
