Has anyone actually picked up a copy of Operation: Vietnam, Coyote Console's squad-based action title? Publisher Majesco shipped the title to stores last week with a budget price of $19.99, but all the reviews and impressions for it seem to have been lost in the jungle. Sending the game out on the same day as Rune Factory, Heroes of Mana, and Luminous Arc's release probably wasn't a good idea.Though we weren't impressed with the screenshots we've seen, hearing previews describe Operation: Vietnam as a mix of Cannon Fodder and Metal Slug was enough to keep us at least a little bit interested. Majesco unceremoniously put out a trailer for the game a couple weeks ago, to little fanfare; you can check it out past the post break.

I was actually keeping an eye on this game and I didn't even know it'd been released since nobody has reviewed it, or even previewed it as far as I can see.

It reminds me of a coin machine game I played long ago. That one with the rotating joystick. Ikari warriors was it? I loved it back then.

It hasn't shown up on the list of pirated games yet, so I'm guessing it hasn't made it to stores yet.

Nintendo Power gave it 8/10 apparently! You can buy it from amazon an other online stores easily enough - I`m onto the beginning of the 3rd level now, its really good fun. 1st level was a bit slow but after that the action really kicks off! Kinda cannon fodder meets ikari warriors :)
