Original NCS synopsis
Four renowned grunts going by the names of Marco Rossi, Eri Kasamoto, Tarma Roving and Fio Germi take up the gun once again and wreck miles of enemy installations and opposing armies when Metal Slug 5 ships for the home Neo-Geo console on February 19, 2004. Every celebrity soldier is a one-(wo)man-army when packing big heat and running, jumping, scooting and shooting across levels and taking on all manner of foes...
Pricing for the cartridge is now higher than before. Sure, it's the usual rate of Y39800 in Japan but with the weakening dollar, NCS is forced to price the game at US$359.
