Okay, SpongeBob wasn’t your thing and this week’s XBLA release was a disappointment. Understandable. Next week is looking to make up for it with an updated version of Metal Slug 3, including co-op multiplayer over Xbox Live. Sweet.
Here’s the feature list from Xbox.com:
Marco, Tarma, Eri, and Fio, the four veterans of the elite Sparrows Unit now come to Xbox LIVE® in METAL SLUG 3™! The popular action shooting series is in all of its original arcade glory, with gorgeous graphics and all the run-and-gun action you can handle. There is no time for indecision. General Morden is on the warpath and you must prevent him from creating the New World Order. Stop the Rebel Army!
- Multiple routes: Different routes through the stages allow for extended replayability.
- Different metal slugs: Various slugs are available for help in battle. Handle all the different slugs to learn their capabilities and complete the mission.
- Individual enemies: Different enemies appear depending on which route the player takes, and each enemy has its own unique characteristics.
- Classic arcade graphics: The classic graphics are faithfully reproduced for your gaming enjoyment.
There’s no mention of a price, but expect it to be either 400 or 800 points. Hopefully the former. Update: The game will cost 800 Microsoft Points.
