November fever has already struck many gamers, and now Metal Slug 7 has joined the already massive list of titles set for fall, set to come out November 18.

First announced in September 2007, more screenshots have recently arisen, perhaps an effort to get those hardcore DS gamers pumped up.  Prepare to run and gun in yet another Metal Slug installment, with new characters, missions, weapons, modes of play and vehicles.  Can any shoot 'em up get away without a set of wheels?

Ajay Chadha, President of Ignition Entertainment, had his own amusing input regarding this upcoming release:

"Truth be told, I have a pink DS and was embarrassed to play it in public. Now with Metal Slug 7 loaded, I have no qualms.  Needless to say, and in all seriousness, we are very excited to announce our partnership with SNK Playmore USA to give both core and casual gamers a whole new insight into the unique, all-action, eye-popping world that is Metal Slug."

Nice save there, Mister Chadha!  I have a black DS; does that automatically qualify it as a manly handheld?  Or do I need a PSP?  Oh nevermind because Metal Slug will apparently validate your masculinity.
