AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2003 Metal Slug 3 Not Coming Stateside 10/7/2003 SNK Neo Geo USA's attempt to publish Metal Slug 3 for PlayStation 2 in the United States has been prevented by Sony Computer Entertainment America's third-party concept approval process, according to sources close to the game's publication. The PS2 port of the cult favorite side-scrolling shooter was released in Japan in June, and SNK discussed its plans to release the game in the United States at E3. It was tentatively scheduled to arrive in December. However, it appears that it will now only find its fans among import buyers.

Renegade 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) Sure do, try and search for something called the "slide tool". I bought it and used it to play some import games I bought a while back, coincidentally one them being metal slug 3.

All you have to do is unscrew the cover of the cd drive. I checked out some info on it, but even with pictures I'm a little unclear on how it works. How much trouble is it to use? If there's quite a bit of trouble with each use, I may go with the flip top. If not, I may go with the slide tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2003 I hope you're right Sakura--anywhere, here's a full report... SNK stands by its plan to bring US gamers a PlayStation 2 version of the NeoGeo classic. Contrary to reports circulating on the Web, SNK says it is still planning a stateside release of Metal Slug 3 for the PlayStation 2. "Published reports regarding Metal Slug not coming stateside are incorrect," the company said in a statement. "SNK is still in development to publish the game for PlayStation 2. It is SNK's intention to work with Sony to make sure this product can come out for the PS2." SNK offered no indication as to when the game will release or what its price point might be. Old-school gamers may remember Metal Slug 3 from the 1990s--the 2D shooter was available both in arcade and NeoGeo MVS versions. The game is currently available for the PS2 in Japan and retails for around $55, while mint copies of the US MVS edition can fetch upward of $250 on eBay.
