It was released only in Japan on June 29, 2006 due to mostly negative reviews from critics. It is the first game of the series to be presented in 3D. None of the original Metal Slug team were involved with the title.
The game had no definite title when it was first unveiled in Tokyo Game Show in 2004. In E3 of 2005, SNK Playmore revealed the game to be called "Metal Slug: Evolution",[1] but was later changed to just "Metal Slug". Although only the Japanese version has been released, it contains menus that are mostly in English, as well as English voice acting. Japanese subtitles and dialogue are also available.
