I picked it up for a really cheap price today and I actually like the translation! There just no blood at all. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn on the blood??

Thanks

I've seen brand new US Metal Slug X (PSX) for $9.99 so I don't know if that's the price you got.

Anyway, US version has no blood.
No idea if you can turn it back on by using gameshark

I have JPN version and it has everything ;)

Yeah, another crappy Agetec release which has been permanently censored, like Last Blade 2. That's why Agetec got a ton of crap at their forums, they were so embarassed by the crappy U.S. release of LB2 (DC) that they deleted a bunch of threads that I and others started about the situation!! Eventually they admitted that the games were censored (permanently, no codes!) and blamed SNK Japan for the problem, which is a total cop out. They mismanaged the releases, plain and simple, and that's why I dumped LB2 and MSX U.S. releases, and got them as imports instead.

You know, Agetec does not make the games, they only aquire the rights to publish them. It was SNKs fault.

Did you really expect after YEARS of censorship on their home carts, that they would suddenly not censor a PSX release?

Are you telling me that SNK JPN censored US version? I don't think so.

If it's SNK's fault, so why Agetec deleted several threads then?

They can just make an public annoucement regarding SNK censorship

I dunno. Today you can buy a game where you beat on old ladies with baseball bats and sleep with hookers to revive (GTA3) but heaven forbid you shoot a little cartoon soldier and have him bleed.

I agree 100% this is the dumbest shit ever, even the blood in MSX isnt all that bad, it there is more blood in MK2 for the snes than metal slug

The lack of blood doesn't really bother me. Rather its the terribly pixelated explosions that are a real eyesore in game that is otherwise beautiful. Additionally, you don't see the flail their arms as they burn alive.

Well, I've never played Metal Slug before so I decided to just pick it up. I have yet to check it out on the MVS. So now, if I buy Metal Slug for the MVS I wanna know which is the best to get with the most replay value :)

When I played the psx version and saw white splashes I knew right then and there that it was blood turned into sweat(reminds me of MK for the SNES).

I know what you mean about the large pixelated explosions, but ya gotta admit, it's good to see all that action with no slow down ;) Talk about being masters of their own game(SNK)
