Sensei Well-Known Member May 30, 2010 82 0 0 Teacher, writer Japan http://www.famicomdojo.tv #9 Sensei, Jul 25, 2012 I used to play this one when I was a college student in Nagasaki. I couldn't believe the opening cutscene was being produced on 1990, 16-bit hardware. Game itself is good. Like an easier R-Type. Also, anyone who wants to know more about the neo-geo itself, I made this video: http://youtu.be/hdUopin4jvQ Good background on the system. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,972 722 113 England #10 psj3809, Jul 25, 2012 Yep the Neo Geo was great, way too expensive for me when it came out ! Started 'discovering' their games via MAME years back. Hope SNK keep releasing their games, i'll be buying all of them, they've done some great arcade classics RayZZoo Well-Known Member Aug 1, 2011 274 0 0 Belgium #11 RayZZoo, Jul 25, 2012 Same as you. The iCade support would be perfect !!!! LTronic Member Feb 7, 2009 15 0 0 NZ #12 LTronic, Jul 25, 2012 As Metal Slug 3, I can confirm it does support iCade. And for non-iCade users, it has a relative touch mode (taking into account original speed ships).

Man, I LOVE the IOS! AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #17 AnarKitty, Jul 25, 2012 Absolutely instabuy, and I am thrilled to see SNK are starting to release NeoGeo games outside of the more obvious KoF/Metal Slug franchises, too. Please SNK, continue putting out more and more titles, especially at this price point! Capricornman Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2011 2,992 0 0 #18 Capricornman, Jul 25, 2012 This is excellent news!!

You gotta be kidding me, this was one of my favorite games!!! I did not hear anything about this, but if it is true, yeah!!! Hope the graphics are good. LTronic Member Feb 7, 2009 15 0 0 NZ #20 LTronic, Jul 25, 2012 Same as Metal Slug 3 for graphics, you can choose between : - pixel mode / linear filtering - no scanlines / scanlines at 50% / scanlines at 100%. - aspect ratio 16:9 / 4:3 (for iPhone, since iPad is 4:3) So yeah, it's as good as it can be (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
