Weekly XBLA Update: 1/2/08
While Xbox LIVE hasn’t gotten off to the best start in 2008, at least Major Nelson keeps us in the loop, sorta.
We do have one new game today, however: arcade shooter classic Metal Slug 3, which drops at the unsurprising but suspect price of 800 Microsoft Points. This brief but retro-fun shooter would look much more tempting at 400 MP, but if you’ve had a holiday like mine, impulse shopping is purely theoretical, even on Xbox LIVE!
Make the jump for the full details.
Marco, Tarma, Eri, and Fio, the four veterans of the elite Sparrows Unit now come to Xbox LIVE® in METAL SLUG 3™! The popular action shooting series is in all of its original arcade glory, with gorgeous graphics and all the run-and-gun action you can handle. There is no time for indecision. General Morden is on the warpath and you must prevent him from creating the New World Order. Stop the Rebel Army!
* Multiple routes: Different routes through the stages allow for extended replayability.
* Different metal slugs: Various slugs are available for help in battle. Handle all the different slugs to learn their capabilities and complete the mission.
* Individual enemies: Different enemies appear depending on which route the player takes, and each enemy has its own unique characteristics.
* Classic arcade graphics: The classic graphics are faithfully reproduced for your gaming enjoyment.

I like this game
Me too. I'm all over it for the online co-op with a very special Metal Sluggin' friend of mine.
...So, I finished the game in arcades and again on MAME, but I was looking at the description on XBL and it said it featured...2-6 players in multiplayer (somehow) Can someone please explain this?
