Metal Slug 4 for JPN PS2

I never saw this posted here, if it was I apologize but I saw one on eBay today and had no idea it was even planned. It's apparently already out and I love the cover art for this one along with the US Slug 3 Xbox art it seems they've still got some artistic talent one board. Has anyone picked this up yet? Opinions? I've no PS2 so I'm in the dark until the GameCube one surfaces.

i wasn't sure on an exact date on it, but i did hear the Japanese Metal Slug 4 was coming out soon for the PS2.

i know the US Metal Slug 4 & 5 double pack has been pushed back a bit, or so i've heard.

buy import--who needs english on a Metal Slug game?

Nice! cover art.

I have the game it's identical to the neo version,it doesn't have any extras at all unlike metal slug 3 did
