Metal Slug XX Pants
No we don't think Metal Slug XX is pants. We think its rather good to be honest. (Please forgive the games magazine humour...) What we are referring to are these fine stripey numbers which were available as certainly one of the more unusual pre-order gifts in Japan...
Granted the pants, or boxer shorts, do make an appearance in the game. But they aren't perhaps what the fine 2D run and gun series is most famous for... Although a good sense of humour has always been a trait in Metal Slug at a time when gaming started to take its 3D self a bit too seriously.
Though I can't imagine the SNK Playmore boss was too impressed at having to stitch up these badges on to the fine lingerie. Still I imagine the SNK liquidators were clear from the start that the days of the Rolls Royce console and all its mega memory hungry carts were over...
Anyway here's to unusual pre-order gifts. Which self resepecting gamer wouldn't be pleased to receive a pair for Christmas...? And there can't be too many undies for men that would bring such cheer....
