The shooters actually are very promising this year.

My only concern is why Metal Slug VII doesn't have Co-Op play?
If Contra IV was able to pull off Co-Op mode through Nintendo's Wi-Fi shouldn't the developers at SNK Playmore do the same thing?

Contra IV was awarded one of the best DS games of 2007, because of the retain difficulty, intense gameplay, retro aspect and Wi-Fi Co-Op.

From looking at those measurements, it doesn't really seem to click, then again I have to remember they are both from two different companies and Contra was in longer before Metal Slug stepped in.
