I snuck in a 1/3 "preview" of Metal Slug 4 into the September issue (Tekken 4 cover) since we could not secure a reviewable copy in time. I know it says "First Look" and the game is already out in arcades, but hey, five screens and a writeup that three million gamers will see is better than no screens and no SNK mentions, right? :)

Thanks to Triueminator for the assist on this one.

Very cool, Dan.

Nice to see such things in the meanstream mags.

I'm new to the board...Dan, are you a columnist or something?

cool no matter what! Now just get some hype in on SNK vs. Capcom. Put some pressure on Playmore to release it!

Nice work Dan, I gotta pick that issue up, even though I'm not a big fan of Gamepro (I'm an EGM man myself). But they no longer honor the S-N-K like they used to. <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much Mr. Elektro. You have no idea how much I appreciate this. I'd even go as far as to mail Gamepro my copy of MS4 if you guys need one to review. Hell, I'll even pay for return shipping! Thanks again!


P.S. My offer is serious, I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass! If Gamepro does need a copy to review I would gladly lend mine.

Yeah, I think was it like Neo Geo Freak in JPN (hhmmm... wonder why NGF took the name...) <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

It's better that Playmore takes their time on SNK vs. CAPCOM. Rushing a game is a bad thing. I want this game to be fun and good and I know that all of you want the same.

I think it's true.

Despite the fact that I feel MS4 blows a big floppy donkey dick, it IS good to see coverage of this game in a mainstream mag.

I don't see why you find fault in that, it just means Gamepro and your posts have a lot more in common than you thought.

I don't read Gamepro, but don't come into Dan's threads just to insult his work.

Thanks for the heads up Dan, I might actually pick up that issue. When will you have a full review for Slug 4 and a preview for RotD? :D

Seriously. That was just an ass of a thing to say (what bemanisuperstar said) <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" /> . I have a subscription to GamePro and I'm not at all disappointed. Keep up the good work Dan.

Thanks Dan.

I acually do have a subcription to Gamepro, but I read all the other monthly mags as well.

I didn't think you were THE Dan Elektro though. Nice to see a member of the gaming media not only looking out for the little guy, but communicating it as well! :) .
