At long last I got to play Metal slug 4 at ENADA and it is a super game.

1 Graphics are awesome and they resemble past metal slugs but with innovations on the enemies and weapons and MORE!

2 Sound is really pumping and ,more,not annoying at all.

3 The game is tough but it ranks at a super high level of playability,as usual!

4 New charas are def cool and Eri and Tarma are back as supporters and more!

5 Mulitple paths and ENDINGS

6 Special point increasing system,excellent for high scores challenges

7 NO SLOWDOWNS,of course!

The game will be release at the end of March and it really rocks.

NOW,TO ALL THOSE WHO SAID TIME TO MOVE AWAY FROM NEO GEO:
AT ENADA THE BEST GAMES WERE:

KOF 2001

METAL SLUG 4

All other new arcade games,YES included Virtua fighter 4 or other sega or other big company new releases in mega cabinets were just sorry and lacking in playability.

As a result,LONG queues and everybody excited with Slug 4 and KOF 2001. The most played games in all the show!

NEO GEO RULES AGAIN,FACTS not silly words.

Sorry for all those who SILLY predicted the death of the neo geo.

Get real and realize the true power of the neverending magic of neo geo.

In addition,all those complaining about lack of original features in slug 4 compared to other slugs are really out of the right way.

At the end of slug 4-of course MULTIPLE ENDINGS the game has!- you can also read:

"THANKS TO SNK STAFF"

Now we are close to a Metal slug 4 release and that's the best thing the neo geo scene could experience.

Of course the NEO STORE is in main and important position to make this dream come true.

And my thanks go for that to Shawn McCleskey who really is making a lot for the neo geo scene,much more than some persons would deserve.

It's great to hear that MS4 turned out well. Any other new neo projects on the horizon that you found out about while you were there?

Serious and reliable sources confirmed 4 or 5 NEW titles on MVS coming soon.

On AES,it's up to us.

Anyway,it is a big victory for all those like me,always believing in neo geo and its pure magic and power.

Neo geo Metal slug 4 and Kof 2001 ARE the currented sought after games by a LOT of players.

NEO GEO lives on and all those who are WRONG asking for a new system and claiming time to put the neo geo to sleep now can eat their own silly words.

I used many new vehicles,like:

Sidecar(double seated motorcycle): There is a ENTIRE section of a level which is played with the sidecar.
Of course if 2 players play together,2 sidecars as well on the screeen. Lots of fun.

Rocket laucher: it is super powerful and easy to control.

New metal slug model and metal slug model vehichles: the new one is even badder!

The game is long about the same than part 3.
6 mission in total with the final mission followed by an escaping stage.
How you will perform the escaping stage will decide the different endings you will get

The aliens are not back in the same way but there are evil ROBOTS and lots of zombies in some sections.

The final boss has a super robot and the old evil general of the past slugs is reproducted as a robot who will turn in to a powered monster after killed first time and he is not alone..

The backgrounds are detailed and beautiful.
A lots of details are put into zombies backgrounds,mountains backgrounds and in other amazing sections.

Of course,the best thing in my opinion is the returning of multiple paths system,which delivers a lot of fun and keeps the interest up..

Thank you very much for the mini-review FTL!
Really good news for all the Neo fans. Maybe it's time to start sending e-mails to MegaKing asking for an AES release.

Thank you very much for this great news. I can't wait (well, I guess I'll have to) to have this game jammed in my cabinet. When the thing gets to the $300 mark I'll definely get it.
