Duh, where do I even begin? Another year – another Metal Slug and SNK’s milking cow franchise lives for yet another day. The mysterious Ptolemaic Army has stolen a valuable data-disc containing secret intel on the Metal Slug project and the team (joined by Eri and Fio from the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S) has to retrieve it back. The CEO of the manufacturer said they were planning on 'taking action' against SNK to protect their contractual rights. In early 2014, in a press statement sent to gaming magazine Polygon, Tommo once again claimed full contractual compliance, and accused SNK Playmore of using underhanded tactics to undermine sales of their product, while failing to follow the routes of resolution put forward in the contract in the first place, and declining Tommo's offers of peaceful resolution. Tommo in response claimed to be in compliance with the contract between the companies, which had recently been extended until 2016, and demanding that SNK retract the cease and desist claim. Concluding that it was not worth the premium price, he wrote 'This is a console which has been created with the right intentions but the execution is sadly lacking.' Controversy Reportedly due to the low manufacturing standards employed by Tommo, in October 2013, SNK Playmore has publicly ordered Tommo to cease not only manufacture of the Neo Geo X, but to pull all existing stock from store shelves.
