[EDITOR'S NOTE: The NeoStore's first official release was Metal Slug 3 (English), however the bitter taste of NGF left some skeptics of any US releases, and the chaos surrounding SNK at the time only confused matters further. The release proved to be legit and many more English releases followed via the NeoStore.]

I thought the english release was going to have the Gold Warning label on it, in the pic Shawn has up there is no sticker. Anyone know what happened?

Shawn sent out an email to those that had preordered. Here it is.

"Hello,

The US MS3 shipment was released from customs today. Apparently it was detained until further customs information from Japan could be acquired. However, two cases did make it through, probably was sent separately from the bulk of the main shipment.

View the English Metal Slug 3 home cartridge: http://www.neostore.com/store/ms3/ms3-cart.jpg

A confirmation was received numerous times for the gold warning label application. Regardless, it appears that both the Japanese re-release, & the new English release lack this warning label. The rest of the material is what you would expect from SNK, nothing is substandard, or radically changed.

The two cases (24 copies) will be shipped to customers in the order that the preorders were received. Also, Zupapa posters & flyers were received today, but no sign of the Sengoku 3 posters at this time. An email containing your delivery confirmation or tracking # will follow soon."

There you go. Makes no difference to me. Some English games have had the sticker in the past, others haven't. No biggie. Just the way it was released, nothing more, nothing less.

Yes I got that message too, and I don't care whether the gold warning sticker is there or not. As long as the material is up to quality, and it looks to be, I'm happy! <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

I really don't think I need to say this.
But I really hope none of you take anything this guy says seriously.

naaa geddon shit, it should be the other way around...i hope none of you believe this...
but rest assured most probably do,just like the kof 2000 us incident....

which is fine by me,you cant make ppl beleive the truth.. the real cats know the deal..
then again desperate gamers who have no connections or knowledge into snks dealings, beside what they read here will believe anything...

DSD, I know exactly what you believe and why you believe it, but your source was given erroneous information. Like I said before to Illicious, I don't think either of you is lying and are just trying to tell it as you have been told, but your source got bad info. Your source isn't lying, but if he is given bad information and passes it on, even with the best of intentions, it doesn't make it true.

I'm not trying to harp on you or anything, but this really is legit. Your friend got info from a bad source. We've got Sengoku 3 on the way, with the SAME release date as the Japanese carts and there will be more after that. It's hard to believe, but this is real.

What up DSD? Another question, was the US release ever posted on the snk website?

The only Metal Slug 3 that SNK has released and will ever release.. is the Japanese version. Oh yea, by the way they didn't forget the yellow warning sticker on both of mine. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any of the US releases are talked about on the Japanese website. Why should the japanese public need to know about our release? When we had a US site, that's where it would go. So the fact that it's not posted on their website has no bearing on the legitimacy of the cart.

I see no reason to distrust Shawn. He has always been honest with everyone here, and when something has gone wrong (as with those NGF freaked carts) he did his part to fix it. If he says he has done this with SNK of Japan, I believe it.

Until you provide me proof, I will hold this as a geniune SNK release.

I'm surprised to hear that statement from you, Pichai . . . I would have expected you to get the facts before posting that. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

I wasn't trying to suggest anything by asking if it was on the Jap website. I don't know how it works really, I rarely ever visit it. I just thought since the US website is no longer that someone may have seen it on the JAP one, it is an SNK release so it would make sense to have it on the official website. I'm happy with my Jap cart and I'm just curious about the US. I haven't been in the scene long and this is the first US release I have witnessed. Just trying to absorb it all. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

chimpmeister,

Just my opinion, that's all. Plus, I haven't posted anything here so long. I just wanted to write something.

Please tell me exactly why it is so hard to believe that MS3 is a legitimate SNK release? I am sure it is official and so is Sengoku 3. The price alone should be enough proof. And people cannot post their business contracts in public. Any one with business experience knows that. JEFF.

I am not jerking you around. I never do that to people. You posted that you called SNK. What did they say? What did you ask them? Whom did you talk to? ???

I'm with laserblast on this one. If you have information, you should share it. Even though I think MS3 is legit, I do want to hear what you have to say. Disclosure, man.

Rade and laserblast, don't bother. He's blowing smoke out of his ass as usual, he doesn't have jack shit for "evidence".

If this is the "triumphant return of the Devils", I'd have to say its more like the pitiful return of the retards. Only DEVIL GUI is a true devil from the old days, you guys are just went through one can of paint thinner too many . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Funny I never thought I'd say this, but GUI is a really cool person (he and I buried the hatchet a while ago and are now on good terms), whereas you guys are just mindless robots without the ability to discern what you do or say . . . pitiful. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Chimp I`m fully with you: This is really kinda funny. Every once in a while a couple of elements crawl out of their ratholes claiming some weird stuff they have not the SLIGHTEST arguments to back up. So dear accusers I said this once and I`m saying it again: Submit PROOF which I`m sure you will not be able to or SHUT the FUCK up with this BS of yours. I`m REALLY tired of reading this crap. <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

There's only one group that deserves to be attacked.Anybody else creating/brimging about anything positive for a system on 'LIFE SUPPORT' deserves praise...
I did'nt realize that the MS3's were retailing for $1000 apiece ..that's the only way one could 'CASH IN' on this hobby.
