It's easily one of the manliest games ever released – stomping around in over-sized army boots killing indiscriminately – so there's really no excuse for making the most masculine of gamers (British ones) wait so long to play Metal Slug 7 on their pink and light blue DS consoles.

Thankfully, having already announced a Western release, Ignition Entertainment is finally bringing the latest instalment in the classic, 10-year-old Neo Geo franchise to Europe with a release date of Autumn '08, so we can guess at it hitting the shelves around September time.

"With a Metal Slug game you know that you're going to have a hugely enjoyable experience," says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager at Ignition Entertainment "The latest addition to this great franchise will continue that trend".

You can bet Pocket Gamer will be the first to have its DS guns blazing. We've already covered the basics of play right here, but hit 'Track It!' now to be sure you don't miss out on any manly Metal Slug moments.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
