hey buddy wanna know something fun?

there's a few different characteristics between the characters, both personality-wise and physical. For instance, here's Eri.

No, because the artstyle would inevitably be the pussified animelite look the series had from 4 onwards.

Those are just small bits of nonessential art, when the post-Nazca games used the newer artstyle for stuff like main illustrations.

It just doesn't communicate the same gritty WW2-era feeling, and the spriteart and scenarios of 4-7 reflect that.

>>92345350
Wouldn't a cartoon just end up as some G.I. Joe rip-off? I guess it's not the 80s and early 90s anymore, but I don't see what other format it'd take.

Metal slug stopped being an exclusive ww2-era parody once 2 rolled on by though. It's really bold, how much stuff they incorperated into the series. Cute playable girls, Rumi Aikawa, supernatural elements, MARTIANS... Metal slug is more of a love letter to action movies than anything.

Metal slug 8 coming NEVER.

Also, why this franchise seems big in south america, it's crazy, the fanbase seems only made of tacos eating gentlemen.

>>92345350
Fun fact: the reason why they look so sad if you pick them is because they know they're going to die and they don't want to go on the mission.

More fun facts: the characters are government agents for the World Government and theses fuckers are corrupt as fuck and everyone knows this and sick of them. The general's son was murdered by them and he only reason why he keeps on getting more and more people to fight for him is because they're all sick if the WG too

arcades are pretty big in south america, I guess because a lot of the population can't afford more expensive consoles, or high-end PC's, or the services that are required to make those worthwhile (mostly a solid internet connection).

>He was a former Vice Admiral in the Regular Army. In this time, he had a reputation of being a tough, efficient, and caring officer of the Regular Army, and is held in high regard by his troops. He was also a caring father to his son. However, Morden immediately defects over to the Rebellion when his son is killed in the Central Park bombing caused by an intelligence failure on the part of the Regular Army. He self-promoted to a General. As he goes insane, he decides to take revenge on the Regular Army. He then creates the Rebel Army with dissidents of the Regular Army, and starts to build up power to launch a full-scale attack. After a succession of battles, the Rebel Army outnumber the Regular Army, and earn various victories over them.

If feel if an animation REALLY wanted to capture the essence of Metal Slug, it'd have to be a miniseries.
5-10 minutes each. 5-6 episodes. Each episode focuses on a different level. As little dialogue as possible, communicate the story through visuals.

Not that guy, but gameplay wise. One character has twice the bombs, another can fire diagonally, another one starts with machineguns and gets twice the weapon ammo, and the fourth one can use Vulcan Fix on the slugs. I don't remember which is which, but for the "double ammo", it works the opposite, everyone else gets half.

It also had two of the militia guys from KOF for absolutely no fucking reason. I rather it would have Trevor and Nadia from MS4. They could've had special melees. Trevor does taekwondo and STOPS to do a melee hit in MS4, which can fuck you over, but could be changed to he can punch and kick tanks too, not just enemies. And Nadia uses a stun/shocker instead of a knife in melee, that could've been altered too, so it has stun properties on everything.
Instead they had two beaners, one of them who could throw mooks around, and I'm not even sure what the other did.

Ralf was able to take a hit and live. But he had nerfed everything else.

None of them can fire diagonally, Marco has a stronger pistol and can shoot insanely fast with it for his special.
Tarma can use his melee attack to kick his slug, either restoring some HP or damaging it.
Eri has twice the grenades and can throw them farther or higher, something no one else can do.
Fio's the one that always starts with a heavy machine gun and gets more ammo.

Personally I don't think I like the team having unique abilities. I'd rather everyone had the ability to be able to throw their grenades whichever direction. I also dislike how 6 and 7 add more buttons to the gameplay, complicating everything. The whole point of Metal slug is simple gameplay.

Also yeah I'd like to see Nadia and Trevor make a comeback too.

Tarma had Vulcan Fix due to being the "Slug specialist", I didn't knew you could melee it though.

You could fire a bunch of weapons diagonally that you couldn't in other games. The Laser is definitely one of them. I don't know if that's global or character specific.

And yeah, having character specific traits is shit. They should've just used an optional Kids Mode, or a Continue Service that can trigger one of the traits.

Nadia was cute. Also, 18 year old.

I don't remember which new buttons MS6/7 added (weapon change, I think?), but MS5 made it extremely difficult to jump and shoot downwards due to down+jump being the slide. Then they added at least two bosses that require you to jump and shoot down constantly. Bad design right there.

Could've kept the D button for special attacks, like the slide, and the Slugs kamikaze attack. The one button I always remap when playing the game is the Slug kamikaze to D, cause I press A+B accidentally way too often.

>>92375365
That'd probably be something I'd do too. Remap the kamikaze button to D.

MS6 and 7 added weapon change, yes. I don't like how it works since you have to cycle between three weapons and only have one button to do it. So if you press the button one too many times you've gotta press it two more times to go to the weapon you wanted. I think you were able to drop the weapon you didn't want for other players to use but I'd rather have it drop off automatically if I pick up another weapon with some ammo still left in the gun I'm using. There's no real need for the weapon switch feature anyway, just have some POWs drop off some weapons at convenient times rather than ask the player to save it for later.

>>92371878
I don't feel as if voice acting would ruin it. I know one of the biggest appeals of the games is how universally it can be enjoyed but if a cartoon is to be made you'd have to take advantage of it and show what is impossible to show in an arcade game, like the back story of the characters.

It has to walk a fine line being cartoony but also being uncompromisingly hyper-violent. That much might make the translation difficult since games do that with much less second-guessing by movie execs.

But otherwise it's the story of a team of elite commandos fighting impossible odds. You can't really say with a straight face that's not movie material.

The wii version of Metal slug anthology blows because of how you have to shake the wiimote to throw a grenade... I think the psp version's the best, even if it does have load times.

This. It has good lore to work, and you left out fucking mechas.

This is where it might have problems. The contrast between cartoony and raw violence works greatly in vidya through the portray of great background and machinery pixel-art along really cartoony looking character and enemies. The whole franchise felt like a meta satire of their own genre. I don't personally think it's completely out of discussion from a cartoon version but it would definitely lost some charm.

Maybe with that guy who made the pixel artwork from Gravity Falls but I don't really know his artwork and if there could be some kind of "style" clash

Oh, you can't even do that anymore with some units.
They've introduced a Box Crank some months back where they put a few parts in for a highly desirable unit, while the rest is a random assortment of Great-To-Trash parts. You can reset the entire thing for free, refilling the "taken" part so you can get more of those parts.
You spend 800 Premium Currency to pull 10 Individual Parts, but they don't give you enough to unlock the unit without resetting.
And RNG doesn't usually play nice enough to give you those 80 Parts in a few pulls, so you'll usually end up spending more than $99 just to get the damn thing.

Paul Robertson? Yeah he's a talented fuck, but he definitely isn't quite right for Metal Slug. He likes doing pseudo-anime chibi while MS is more tongue-in-cheek pseudo-western grit. Almost exact opposites emulating the other side of the ocean.

They tried to give it a better single player campaign, one less focused on quartermunching. The ability to store your weapons for later use and the character speciation in 6 onwards is supposed to condone saving powerful weapons for the right time and playthroughs for different characters, respectively. in the early to mid 00's SNK also made a fuckton of apparently-canon mobile metal slug spinoffs for japanese phones that were about 3 to 4 levels each, and they were really bad, but sold okay. If they just released like 1 level with reused assets every few months I'd be just fine with it. I would actually be fine if they rereleased those japanese phone games, but better optimized and for iOS

Only if it was animated as a mix of Akira and Popeye.

Nope

I know of a way to deal with it.

1. a branching paths system for whole levels. Like Darius (pic related) so you can have an excuse for huge production values and have more than just 6 levels in the game while still keeping that arcade fun.
2. More fleshed-out Combat School taking full advantage of the levels throughout the game by having combat-school exclusive gameplay. Rather than just telling you to quickly beat each level or beat the levels without dying or something lazy like that, you would take control of something like a Martian in it's UFO blasting enemies. Or one of Morden's grunts like in the metal slug 3 bonus content. Or Allen! Or one of the many other enemies in various situations. This would recycle loads of content while still keeping everything super fresh and interesting, extending the gameplay beyond just getting good enough to 1cc the game and replaying it for fun and also more importantly easing newfags into actually putting in time towards getting good at the game and having them understand what vidya is all about.

You are not. You're invulnerable to bullets and tank shots but that's it. Zombie damage, Sasquatch bones, weirdo aliens, and monoliths will KILL you.

the metal slug 3 portraits are still my favorite renditions, they are just so much more expressive than the new designs.

>>92346591
why are arcades stll big there exactly?

>>92394440
I'm very fond of 3, yeah. TONS of personality.

Also the branching paths would help encourage replayability too, as you won't be able to see even 1/3rds of the entire game on your first playthrough

>>92394418
>>92394498
The biggest problem I see is that branching paths requires that much more development time and that much more content to create/recycle.

It would deserve more money to develop than a same-old arcade port at least. I just hope SNK is up for that kind of experiment.

A. Japanese currency is mostly coins
B. Online arcade accounts- Japan had methods of giving you your save data from a game so you could pick up playing again at a different arcade machine later , allowing for unlockables tied to your arcade accoubt and encouraging replaying

you have a sardine can population so getting people into your business isn't as big a deal an issue because worst case scenario the average gamer spends half hour on a subway

>>92387359
It was Marco actually. Tarma was in his victory pose.
Fio also appeared in King of Fighters 2000 and Maximum Impact 2.
There was also one of the Mars alien in SNK vs. Capcom, but nothing more.

I don't know why /co/ keeps thinking that Japanese properties should be animated by American studios that don't have even a fraction of the production capability of Japanese studios.

>>92400821
It probably has something to do with Metal Slug having a cartoony aesthetic. It is westaboo as fuck.

>>92400846
Something isn't "westaboo" just because it resembles something Western, which is also not a reason to choose an American studio.

>>92400917
Well sorry about your chronic hair-splitting syndrome, anon. But it doesn't make one lick of difference. Also, it isn't going to get made anyways, so what's the point in stifling conversation?

>>92401017
It's not hair-splitting. There's a substantial difference between being a *boo and not being one.

>>92401080
And it still makes no difference to the point. If something looks western, you will have people discuss "what if it was a cartoon?"

i love metal slug but this would never work

>>92401112
If it makes no difference then why did you even bring it up?

>>92401159
It may not make a difference to the point I was making, but you're still wrong. It is westaboo. I just didn't care enough about this side-point to derail the point of me saying it.

>>92401194
You don't know what westaboo means.

>>92345918
You should know that this is on easy mode emulated console version, and not arcade

>>92393758
Yeah and SNK needs to address this.
