Move over Smash, SNK is already going for another cross-over no-one saw coming. As announced via the company’s Japanese Twitter account, SNK will be teaming up with NASA for a new jacket based on the Metal Slug franchise.
The front features the iconic NASA logo and a rather existential quote from Neil Armstrong, while the back is emblazoned with a bunch of Metal Slug aliens and the slightly baffling line “Maybe Close Encounters of the Mars People We are all Extra-Terrestrial.”
衝撃コラボ‼️😳💦

According to the tweet, the jacket will be “selling soon”, if you want to adorn your body with these oddly complementary icons.
