This Wednesday: Microsoft to roll Metal Slug 3 onto XBLA

We know that there are some of you who have already tired of your holiday toys, and while we think this is incredibly selfish and that you should be ashamed, Microsoft has stepped up, announcing an "updated version" of Metal Slug 3 for Xbox Live Arcade. The game will roll onto the service next Wednesday, January 2, and promises updated HD visuals and two player co-op over Xbox Live, along with all of the 'rocket lowncher' antics you can handle. So, for those of you who are just like my mother, and are never satisfied, prepare to fork over a cool 800 MS Points ($10). There, happy now?

Boo!!!

M$ said Ikaruga would be out by the end of 2007. Doesn't look like its going to happen. Its the only live arcade game that I am really looking forward too.

Heck, I'm not sad. After beating Alien Hominid 4 times its nice to see another game like it fill in the void.
