Okay, so 07 Commando looks exactly like a Metal Slug game. So there's no possible way that the developers got inspiration from any source other than Metal Slug. You know what? We don't care. A well-executed ripoff of a great game may be bad for the creative minds who devised the first version, but it works out okay for us. Take Pump it Up, for example. We'd be appalled at the wholesale appropriation of DDR if we didn't like dropping a quarter or two into Pump it Up.
It's not our job to defend anyone's intellectual property but our own. Let us know when someone starts making a game based on one of our posts-- then we'll get outraged. Until then, we'll continue reaping the benefits of others' unauthorized tributes.

CT Special Forces was like metal slug on the GBA and that was a cool series of games. More Metal Slug rip offs the merrier I say, until they get their fingers out and make the official version.

Therefore buy all the Neo Geo games when they finally freaking excruciatingly fulfill their promise of putting them on the VC.

Why did you guys link to Streets of Rage? This looks like a straight rip off of Metal Slug. I mean the SPRITES look the same.
I mean Streets of Rage is apart of the beat'em up genre but not a true rip off of Final Fight. I've played both extensively and the differences are great. Be real with yourselves.

Oh but 07 Commando (what a weird name) does look effing sweet. 2player wi-fi and at least 7 lengthy stages would seal the deal.

Wow, it looks like a complete clone of Metal Slug. Except for that sissy health bar. The difficulty of one-hit-kills defined the originals. Oh well, still looks like it could be either really amazing or feel really stale. Let's hope we get another great DS game.

It looks the same... It definitly plays the same... But it's not metal slug is it? I'm not as charmed by the character as I was with MS... :( It just isn't metal slug!
