IGNITION ENTERTAINMENT SIGNS
PUBLISHING AGREEMENT WITH SNK NEO GEO CORPORATION
Metal Slug 3™ and Metal Slug™
Advance To Enjoy Dedicated European Releases
One of the most-loved arcade and
console gaming franchises is set for an official European release as Ignition
Entertainment announces it is to publish SNK PLAYMORE’s Metal Slug 3 and Metal
Slug Advance throughout Europe.
“Metal Slug games have garnered a
massive following amongst arcade lovers and importers alike. The home versions
include all the enjoyment and fast paced action of the arcade original – plus
some great additional features,” says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition
Entertainment. “And with the simultaneous release of Metal Slug Advance – which
we strongly believe will be one of the greatest games to grace the Nintendo
handheld – this is great news for games players. We’re all massive fans of the
Metal Slug games at Ignition and are excited to have secured these titles. The
Metal Slug series has remained the hardcore gamers’ best-kept secret. We are
looking forward to sharing it with the masses.”
Players can choose from over 10 new
‘Slug’ vehicles exclusive to Metal Slug 3, including the Slug Copter and the
bizarre Elephant Slug. Metal Slug 3 features stunning hand-drawn animation,
highly detailed backgrounds and outstanding 2D action.
Ignition Entertainment will publish
SNK PLAYMORE’s Metal Slug Advance and Metal Slug 3 for PS2 and Xbox (with Live
support) in October 2004.
