Metal Slugs Not Out Today?

[Thread Owner]

I have the Xbox and Advance version on order...up until yesterday it said they were out on the 12th (today).

Now the Xbox is 15th and the Advance is 17th.

The question is, is this true or not? Play list it as "out now" (but have no stock)

PS2 version out yet?

Same thing for me, checked the status of my order on Simplygames and saw it wasn't coming any time soon. I was looking forward to playing it on the train too

The XBox version was meant to be out but no one appears to have stock, it IS out on the PS2 and I picked up a copy at lunch time. I've emailed Simply games telling them to cancel my XBox preorder but havn't had a reply yet.

In my estimation I don't reckon we'll see Metal Slug Advance till December

Yep I noticed that last night whilst checking my pre-orders & posted it in the other Metal Slug thread.

Tronix still have the GBA version as being out next Wednesday though.

My videogamesplus.ca order of the GBA one hasn't shipped yet, either.

Anyone else had any luck?

[nausea]

my local Game didn't have it (ps2). no surprise there.

Metal Slug Advance is actually 17th December now.

Metal Slug Advance is actually 17th December now.

Are we talking PAL or US ? If it's PAL, I'm off to Tronix.

Metal Slug Advance is actually 17th December now.

Then the 28th of Jan, then the 1st of April, ad infinitum until the game is never released.

Does Metal Slug 3 have an NTSC mode?

[winkerwatson]

The Gamestation in Glasgow had the PS2 version in all week. I got it on Monday

[Sabreman]

PS2 version is on the shelves now, it has a 60hz mode

PAL, it's only £14.

Anyone with the PS2 version had a read through the terribly/charmingly translated manual.

Here's one "Kablam!" of thanks for the purchase of Metal Slug 3.  To get the most enjoyment, please read this manual carefully before beginning the game.  Before beginning you play the game, please read through this user's manual carefully to get the most enjoyment from this game.

And so on throughout the entire manual

So are there gonna be any differences between the XBOX and PS2 versions? Will there be any live features on the XBOX version?

Picked mine up from Smiths. Part of their 2 for £20 deal. Got Midway Arcade Treasures 2 (XB) at the same time.

[Tiki]

I've been playing quite a bit of MS3 on the PS2. Expect a review on Pro-G (quite) soon.

(PS, It's bloody good)

Thanks.

Metal Slug Advance is actually 17th December now.

So anyone else ordered the US one?

I'm still waiting. VG+ has it listed as "pre-order" on the site, but the date is the old one.

[Hitcher]

Nah, I'll stick with the cheaper option of Simply Games.

[The Gum Drop Kid]

Tronix have the release date as this Wednesday. Here's hoping.

And I've just phoned Simply Games & they now have Metal Slug for XBox in stock. This is my first order with them, so I've got my fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

[mrsambarlow]

VG+ just let me know that NTSC GBA delayed till Nov 30

I've been playing the arcade original at work (in the retro section) and have the Xbox review code. It seems strange though that there is such a gap in between releasing the PS2 version and the Xbox version but, as mentioned, the game is superb!.
