The good news is Metal Slug 3 is this Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade Game.
The bad news is the difficulty of the game's Achievements has been set to maximum pain.
Xboxer.tv explains why getting the full 200 Achievement points in Metal Slug 3 is "one awesome test of gaming powers."
Updates:
According to Xbox360Achievements.org's listing (via Alternative Sources below,) the achievements that would seem impossible are: "Complete all the missions without continue" (25 points), "Complete a mission without any miss" (10-40 points), and "Complete any mission, without getting power-up items" (10 points).
