They are also hosting:

Fist Of The North Star-Arc System Works

Under Defeat-G.Rev

The full story is here:

Good to hear...if they manage to bring back that MS3 magic then I might have to get an Atomiswave.

Why is it running under a sega booth exactly?

Valgar · Post by **Valgar** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 12:11 am

Because it is on their hardware. The question is will they redraw any sprites?

Well if it's on Atomiswave, I could care less since we'll never see a home port of it unless it's a fighting game, of course. We never got Dolphin Blue, did we? And that was pretty close, in terms of gameplay, to the whole MS series.

As far as I'm concerned, until Sammy gives us some Atomiswave console ports that aren't actually cookie-cutter fighters, they can take that hardware and shove it.

Considering there have been no leaked screens of MS6, and the game's been rumored since what, 2003, I'm saying this Metal Slug is going to rock all kinds of ass, hard and flabby.

I have definitely been hyping this baby in my mind for a long time.

damn dude, your hardware turnover rate is extreme. You said atomiswave was the second coming 2 weeks ago

edit: oh, I just read what happened on ng.com. Too bad, man...that's why we use paypal.

maybe it's going to be that Metal Slug 3D that's been in the works for a while now... boy does that look like a disappointment.

I don't think so; I heard that got canned, and besides, that was titled 'Metal Slug 3D'.

benstylus · Post by **benstylus** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 5:50 am

I don't think so either, but it's still funny to think about.

Somehow, I think Metal Slug will have just a tiny bit more pull over the console crowd than Dolphin Blue would have.

I'm certain Metal Slug 3D got re-title "Metal Slug Neo" or something like that, and is releasing a week after or before GBA Metal Slug 1 in December.

OW MY SOUL HURTS DONT TALK ABOUT METAL SLUG 3D

Hopefully MS6 can match the standard of X/3 again. I'm looking forward to seeing some real footage of Fist of the North Star and Under Defeat...and hopefully a VF5 trailer (please?).

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 6:44 am

I'm putting in my prediction that it will be ugly as shit. If I actually make the show, it will be something I will check out though.

howmuchkeefe · Post by **howmuchkeefe** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 7:39 am

I have wished for an exciting and sophisticated Fist of the North Star fighting game since the dubbed movie blew my 15 year old mind (bear in mind that the 80s had just happened) so long ago. I saw it on a big screen and the noise was incredible, especially when Lynn did that psychic contact with Ken thing.

Gawd, it could be so freaking cool. I imagine it'd be a cross between KoF and Weapon Lord, but with many more frames of animation and rated 'E' for 'exploding heads'.

As for Metal Slug 3D i hope it burns in hell, and never sees daylight. I predict Metal Slug 6 will be the usual cut and paste job (in other words no redrawing), not that the game needs higher resolution in my opinion.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:28 pm

I'd like to see it in true high res, but I'm sure it'll be low-res scaled like a lot of other Atomiswave games... which is bad.

Metal Slug 3D... what a joke. I saw a video of it running at last years TGS... it looked like a gigantic turd.

popawell · Post by **popawell** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 2:05 am

Theres going to be a MS6?
I havent seen a MS game of any kind in arcades for about 7 years now. I got a chance to play the first metal slug game at Chuckie Cheezes when I was 4 and again at sleeping bear dunes in 1998. I still love the game and hope the newest one will keep the old style instead of 3D.

Whoa, 4? How old are you now?

Dude... that makes you around 14 or 15 years old now...?

I really hope it's not another rehash.

RALF AND CLARK! AWESOME!!!11!!

Dewclaw · Post by **Dewclaw** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 11:31 am

Huh! Ralf and Clark...that's kinda cool, but I wouldn't have minded them bringing back Nadia. These stats are weird; Ralf and Clark are identical, and Fio and Eri have the most power? And what's defense good for if you're a 1-hit wonder? Don't know if the game will recapture the old glory, but I'm interested in seeing what they do with this.
