NG Metal Slug 3 [Japan]

$268

 
   NCS took pre-orders for Neo Geo Metal Slug 3 on June 14 of this year and the Neo faithful submitted reservations in droves. NCS supplied a definite date, an expected price, and ruminations on other possible reproductions depending on how Metal Slug 3 sales went. Still, there were questions raised concerning SNK, NCS, and this release but it was to be expected in the wild and wooly Neo market. Despite bumps, doubts, and haters doing their usual, tired hating along the way, things moved along with our pre-orders and plans. Roughly three months later and on schedule, we see fruition from our original stated goal. The shipment arrived today and all pre-orders ship today. New orders are welcome online.
   Next up: Sengoku 3 on October 26 and possibly King of Fighters 2001 from Eolith later this year. A news release for KOF 2001 is scheduled for the end of this month and we'll post details and news once it hits. At that time, pending confirmation, NCS will have a definite date, an expected price, and ruminations on other possible releases... The routine should sound familiar by now. Cya. 		 
DC Capcom vs SNK 2 Clarification 

 
   Due to every other e-mail in recent history containing the question of "Does your Capcom vs SNK 2 game for DC include the fan disc?", here is Capcom's distributor's reply when we posed the question to them a couple of months ago. Note: Grammatical mistakes not edited.

"The first production 20,000 units include bonus disc but after shipment not include to it. Pre-order guarantee to you okay."

   Similar to Guilty Gear X and Dead or Alive Limited Edition, the first production of this game includes the bonus fan disc, according to the distributor. NCS expects to ship all pre-orders next Wednesday.
