only on xbox?

Why is Metal Slug 3 falsly advertised as 'only on xbox'? Isn't it also on the Neo Geo *AND* the Playstation 2?

I think the line refers to some Xbox-exclusive bonus features.

Fair enough. I guess then every version on every machine of every game is only on their respective machines... (unless they are emulated and 100% identical even code-wise).

maybe the xbox live support for the online highscore,maybe thats what they mean whit only on xbox??Well who knows

As far as I heard, the PS2 version is not out in USA for some reason. Isn't it only the US version of MS3, that's marked with only on xbox?
And of course, they don't care about Neo Geo releases. :s

They're just referring to the fact that Metal Slug 3 wasn't released for the PS 2 or GC in the US. They don't count you dirty importing bastards having access to JPN titles.

even if you discount the GC (is it on GC anywhere?) and PS2, it is still a lie isn't it? to be truthful, they would have to consider either elsewhere in the world, or if they were to write 'only on xbox in the usa' the neo geo version also...

it's the same with svc.

who gives a shit?

For the record, I've just checked my Euro version of Slug 3 Xbox and it has no "only on Xbox" on it, so I guess galfordo is right.

Statements like that are nothing but marketing. We all know that the game originated on Neo, but to the average American gamer who doesn't even know who SNK is/was, the line "only on Xbox" sounds more plausible than "only official US version of the Neo Geo original on a next-gen console except for the inferior Japanese PS2 import which did not get an official release in the US so eat this, Sony importZ feKKerS!!"...
