Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 13 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
Metal Slug 3 é considerado por muitas pessoas o melhor da franquia. Eu diria que ele é um jogo que quase não erra, chegando frequentemente a patamares semelhantes aos alcançados pelo 2/X. Além disso, a variedade de inimigos e rotas alternativas reforça bastante o fator replay. No entanto, preciso ressaltar que a última missão, apesar da escala épica, se estende demais e também é difícil além da conta. Por isso, o ritmo do jogo acaba sendo prejudicado, porém, não se engane, MS3 ainda é ótimo e merece ser apreciado assim como os dois anteriores.
Shotgun!

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

重温重温童年的小游戏，一个半小时通关，完成！感觉已经打了几十遍这个地图了
METAL SLUG 3 es uno de los mejores juegos de la saga. Mantiene la acción rápida y divertida de los clásicos arcade, pero añade nuevos vehículos, armas, enemigos y escenarios llenos de sorpresas. La variedad de caminos y situaciones hace que cada partida se sienta diferente. Además, su estilo pixel art, el humor y la música siguen siendo excelentes. Un clásico arcade muy entretenido y totalmente recomendable para los amantes de los juegos de acción.
렉이 ㅈㄴ 심함 그냥 계속 끊김 무슨 내가 1990년대 컴쓰는 것도 아닌데 그냥 엔진 자체가 이상한듯
미슨 원 스타트! 빰빰빠빠빠라 빰빠라빠빠 빰빠빠라ㅃ빠라빠라ㅃ ㅏㅏ 빠람~~ 떙큐 헤비머신건! (피슈욱) (피슈욱)!땡큐! 오케이!
I highly recommend this game because not only is Metal Slug a great game series but Metal Slug 3 is the best out of ALL of the however the hell many there are. The enemies are highly elaborate and the attack patterns are optimized for 120% more fun than 1 and 2. This Metal Slug has as much soul as possible before the team making it abandoned ship.
