* METAL SLUG 3 left Google Play on June 2, 2025, due to optimization issues on the latest Android OS and devices. Thank you for playing and supporting it over its 10-plus-year lifetime (it debuted on the service on July 12, 2012).

Regarding continued use after end of service

The above titles will be unavailable for download from Google Play after discontinuation.
Customers who have already purchased and installed the titles can continue using them, but will not be able to reinstall them (or download them on another device).

Additional information

Titles will continue to be available on the Apple App Store. Further announcements regarding this platform will be shared at a later date.　Some titles’ arcade versions are currently for sale separately as part of the Arcade Archives NEOGEO (ACA NEOGEO) series.

We sincerely apologize for the sudden announcement and any inconvenience this may have caused.
We remain committed to providing even better services moving forward, and kindly ask for your continued understanding and support.
