Metal Slug Code: J announced for mobile

SNK and TiMi Studios, a subsidiary of Tencent Games, have just announced the upcoming launch of Metal Slug Code: J for the Android and iOS platforms. It is worth mentioning that we are only given a tentative code name, which will be finalised at a later date.

“Metal Slug has such an amazing history of great action and gameplay so we’re proud to bring this to mobile gamers around the world,” SNK Game Producer Yasuyuki Oda said. “We’re happy to work closely with such a strong developer as TiMi Studios on this latest Metal Slug title.”

“Metal Slug is one of the great arcade franchises and a perfect fit for mobile play,” Winco Qin, general manager of TiMi J1 studio, said. “Our team has been focused on a faithful recreation of the game’s classic shoot’em-up style, easily accessible for players that’s fun for new and existing fans of the genre.”

Of course, this isn’t Metal Slug’s first foray into the mobile space, since it has gotten a number of ports and a spinoff. From the trailer alone, we can surmise that Metal Slug Code: J will be a remake of sorts, so it would be interesting to see what the developers can do to spruce things up.
