KEEP THE AUDIO ON JAPANESE. The English dub is one of the worst I've heard in a video game. EVER. This video perfectly showcases the English voice "acting".

You're a bad man for posting this. How can I unhear what I just heard?

The English voice acting is the best part of that game! I honestly play it just to hear the terrible acting.

LOL wow. I had that game on my HDD for so long and hadnt played it yet, gonna play it now to hear that voice acting lol

The Japanese audio track is just as grating and annoying as the English track.

Although, yeah, I wish they would have done more than just pick up six girls off the street but whatever.

Picked up Trouble Witches and Metal Slug XX because I felt the need to spend some points. Will probably play each for 20 minutes then be done with them.

The voice acting in Trouble Witches is part of the reason that I never bought the game. I don't care if it's an XBLA game, it's ing 2012 (or whatever year it originally came out), not 1996. Hire someone who can actually read a script.

That video had to start with the touching scene xD

So.. that UK sale, is anyone expecting US to get the same sale they did?

I was for a while... but I gave up that silly hope days ago.

MAYBE, we get a one-day sale on easter sunday but i doubt it, if its not up by then abandon all hope

Is it just me or is it more difficult to find the week's sales on the Xbox dashboard? Seems on the game marketplace I find a window for news and sales and it's a stupid video. Used to be a nice window you could just click on during the week that took you to all of the sales.

I hate sounding like a broken record but I have a tough time finding anything with the new dashboard - I still cannot stand it.

Not sure what I want to do with Metal Slug. I enjoy the games, but they are kind of dated. XX seems to have slightly deeper gameplay than 3, but neither seems too different than Metal Slug Advance for the GBA. With Hard Corps Uprising recently added to my backlog, I don't see the value of buying both (plus I think I'm going to get Hydro Thunder). Any more comparisons between 3 and XX in terms of longevity and replay value? I'm leaning towards just getting Metal Slug 3, but I'm curious if anyone else thinks XX is worth the extra 200 msp...

MS3 is typically referred to as the best game in the series, though I personally like X the best. It's been a while since I've played the 360 version, but if memory serves right SNK removed the blood from that version whereas that's not the case for XX. MS3 also is not an easy game. Most of the replaybility comes from playing levels over and over until you master them. For a sidescrolling shooter, it is also a fairly long game. I want to say the last level in MS3 is the longest level in the series and requires a lot of work to fight your way through. There is no card collecting system like there is in MSA.

If you had to choose between the two, MS3 is the way to go.

Buying Pinball Arcade at full price to support the cause. Those other future potential licensed tables need to happen.

Controls are OK, loved the Pinball Hall of Fame Controls for the Wii the best actually and I bought that thing for the PSP, Xbox, Wii and now this.

I have a problem.

I hope everybody's buying Hydro Thunder Hurricane, it's awesome. The DLC is good too.

Yeah Metal Slug X is my favorite, too.

You can get the PS1 version real cheap. Like $5.

I'm not a fan of any Metal Slug games after 3. They just started rehashing them after 3.

Agreed I don't even really like racing games but found it to be a blast when I was playing online with friends.

I'm right there with you.

Loved the demo but I'm waiting until the first DLC to see what kind of pricing/consistency we're going to get from this title. Most of the tables are already on the Williams Collection which I played to death. But the prospect of getting licensed tables is definitely appealing. I'll have no problem supporting this title as long as the tables keep showing up.

Apparently there was a Max Payne sale that ran from April 3-9 that isn't mentioned in the OP. I searched xbox.com and it looks like both Max Payne games for the original Xbox are 800 points. Not sure if that's a sale price or if it's even lower for gold members, but thought I'd mention it for anyone interested.
