Metal Slug news: 3 getting limited release and the series getting a book

Limited Run Games made a surprise announcement that Metal Slug 3 is getting a limited release for both PlayStation 4 and PS Vita THIS WEEKEND.

Seeing as the Metal Slug games are available on every platform known to man this might not be such a big deal. They will have a regular and a classic edition with the classic being twice as expensive and:

The Classic Edition includes:
