Is the game missing animation frames? Hows the loading times?
What do you mean playing as enemy soldiers? do you have to keep the hero from reaching a goal or something like that? Or do you play as the boss and sit on a closed stage for minutes waiting for the hero to appear?
Edit: the player hero is cheap, he has continues!

More so than any other game series, I feel sorry for all the enemies in Metal Slug. they are so persistant and usually quite deadly in small groups (especially the melee fighters), but they are no match for the arcade gamer's ability to change a $5 into quarters and feed it into the machine non-stop.
Of note is the death animation for when soldiers get shot with a machinegun while they are prone on the ground. The bullet tears their head open and their expression goes blank....ew.

Well I can't really talk about missing animation - I didn't *notice* any, but that doesn't really mean anything.
Loading time does not exist. Screen goes dark, screen fades in.
There's an extra mode where you can play through the last level (where nomally you're fighting side-by-side with the enemy soldiers against the aliens), as either the grenade guy, the shield guy or the bazooka guy. You're in a big group of other dudes who you sort of use as cannon fodder.
One hit kills you and you only get one life for this minigame. Sometimes you can free other enemy soldier-types (what the hell is their army called? I forget), just like normal prisoners. Then they help you out. Pretty damned cool.
In the other minigame you're a fat version of...eri I think? Maybe Marco, I can't recall. It's meant to be 2 player, and you're supposed to gain lots of weight by killing enemies and taking their food. Plus chickens spawn in sometimes. You can freeze the other player, making them lose weight.
I'll write up a review in a couple of days.

I beleive there army is called "Modern." I've seen it as "Morden" or something like that, but I always figured that was a misspelling. Modern sounds better, because it reminds ya of the Third Riech and there perfect soldier stuff. Well, Modern is the modern soldier :P I don't know...

So. I take it that all of the delays are now explained in full.
Nice to know they were doing something with the extra time. Heh.

Please tell me this is coming to the US.
Be kinda nice to play an enemy soldier through the entire game, but I'll take the last level. ;)
Oh, and the head General dude of the enemy army is named Morden, so that's where you've seen that before.

Did they keep the game in its original resolution, or did they stretch it out and put it in high-res mode like with KOF2k on Dreamcast? I'm really hoping they didn't turn it into interlaced hell. :(

You should check out the post on this at next level. It's confirmed to be interlaced. -_-
On the upside, it also appears to have less slowdown than the neo version.

I call slowdown Matrix effects :P Marco: Are you telling me I can dodge bullets from level 4's boss? Tarma: No, player The One, I'm saying when you're ready, you can knife all the bad guys for mad amounts of points!!!

For some reason I thought it was the second level.
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard. I also provide nothing useful to the gaming community. "Dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-do."
