Rez HD please.
Pretty good game, hope to pick this up.
800 points FTL! Isn't this retro?
Rock It!
Wow... This was unexpected. Gonna have to grab this one. I hope it has LIVE coop. Thanks for the news Major! :)
I must admit this priceing of xbox arcade titles is a bit suspect. 400 should be the max.
The Metal Slug Anthology collection on PS2/PSP/Wii is only $40, and gets you seven games, at an average of just under $6 per game. A much better deal if you love Metal Slug and own one of those systems.
Why can't we get a decent arcade game?? How about R.B.I. baseball or Super Tecmo Bowl or Commando?? Please bring us a baseball or even a basketball game? Double Dribble or Tecmo Basketball!!! Please Something worth playing
I think 800 points is a good price,remember this aint just a rom it has co-op over live so they have done some work on it.
Here's some more info
An update of the original arcade version, "Metal Slug 3" is a run-and-gun video game updated with HD graphics and now features co-op multiplayer over Xbox LIVE. “Metal Slug 3” provides gamers with various route selections within each stage enabling players to play over and over. Join Marco, Tarma, Eri and Fio, the four veterans in the “Metal Slug” series, as they hit the battlefield to stop General Morden from disturbing the order and peace that has begun to return to the world. Throughout the game, various vehicles called “Slugs” are made available to help players in battle and to complete the mission. The game features co-op gameplay for up to two players over Xbox LIVE. Developed by SNK Playmore, “Metal Slug 3” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
Superb. I'll most probably buy this since I have the first two on MAME. All we need is R-Type 1 & 2.... *hint hint again*
Wow, you guys really show your ignorance with all the complaints about the price. We're talking about one of the best arcade titles of all times here.
I'll be sure to pick this one up once my 360 comes back from repair!
Great game, but not 800 points great... 400??? HELL YEAH :P
ah ffs, 800 points ?? wtf ??
its ages old, its on every console already going from the xbox, to the gameboy advance.
Half this lot probably never played the originals and will whine even it was 100 points. I think most are clueless as to how superb this game really is. Level design and gameplay is simply superb and very comical - you just don't get this sort of quality in today's games any more.
I do hate how they keep tarting up the graphics for 'HD' though, just leave the game alone and stop sprucing up the visuals because for the most part it always ends up looking like a right mess - See Double Dragon, Speedball etc.
could we please get a status update on the "xbox live signup is currently unavailable" thing? I've been trying on and off for 2 days, but still can't get my gamertag. I just got COD4 but can't play with my friends, and want those gamerpoints on my gamertag =(...please...anything...
sorry but just 400 for game like this.
if they charge 400 points, people will start saying waaaaaa I want it for free
wouldn't they?
800 points is fine - metal slug rocks and can't wait to play co-op over live
