Nothing really new

Now thats one pretty generic description...

New tagline should be...


"Not a shooter! Struggle!"

Metal Slug e-cards? Wow they are taking it a little seriously arent they? Have any non-nintendo games had e-cards yet?

I believe in japan the "Hamtaro" gba game also had e-reader cards.

I think it's something you collect in game. Nothing to do with the e-card reader. At least, that's what I've heard.

If it is actual e-cards for the card reader, that'd be pretty damn cool.

Yeah, maybe unlock extra slugs and stuff.

Before this comes up AGAIN, I posted info about these e-cards a while ago and it turns out that you collect them IN GAME and that the name was just a [bad] coiciencidence. There is a thread about it that I made a while ago where I end up looking stupid

Well, that's good, because I don't have that stupid E-Reader yet. I'll preorder this from Gamestop or EBX as son as it can be preordered

(I order nothing form Wal-Mart, they are EVIL)

Damnit, they should fix it to say "Virtual e-cards"
