<p>Very few game titles manage to make their mark in pop-culture, but SNK’s Metal Slug franchise remains to be a classic. It’s been a while since we got a Metal Slug title for console, but a new title is being worked on for mobile gaming.</p>

<p>Check out the trailer:</p>

<p>As it turns out, TiMi Studios is teaming up with SNK Corporation to bring us a new Metal Slug mobile game which they are dubbing Metal Slug Code: J. It doesn’t look like Code J is the official title, and we should get something more solid before the year ends. </p>

<p>SNK Game Producer Yasuyuki Oda said about the upcoming title, "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… We're happy to work closely with such a strong developer as TiMi Studios on this latest Metal Slug title."</p>

<p>On the TiMi side of things, general manager of J1 studio Winco Qin says:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
"Metal Slug is one of the great arcade franchises and a perfect fit for mobile play,… 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."

<p>Metal Slug is one of those franchises that only really works in its original format. Though there have been attempts to update on the series, they have never been able to get the same level of prestige as the originals. While mobile seems to be the way to go for the series. </p>

<p>No release date has been announced for the Metal Slug Code: J but hopefully it comes out sometime later this year.</p>

One classic platform shooter is making a comeback in mobile gaming.
