This is a Metal Slug thread.
>paid £5 for Metal Slug 1-6 on ps4
>Metal Slug 1/3 are £6 each on switch
Kinda mad cus it would be rad to have them on a handheld and also be able to throw them up onto the TV at will.
Which metal slug is your favorite?
My is the first one
>>379410226
I've bought and beaten the anthology packs about three times now, and now I bought 3 on Switch. It is as satisfying to play, even on a small screen with a coop buddy.
>>379410226
>>paid £5 for Metal Slug 1-6 on ps4
Where? There is anthology on PS4? I only see Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug 1 on PSN.
>>379410270
Metal Slug 3 for sure. 4 is also pretty rad.
>>379410270
Metal Slug 3
Is it only the first or does 2 and 3 have heavy framedrops too when playing 2 players on switch?
Anyone playing Metal Slug Attack and have some tips? I get stone walled hard by the event ops and the higher ranked battle mode options.
I recently bought Metal Slug XX for my ps2 (yeah yeah I know the anthology exists). Some of the slowdown is annoying but it feels like a solid port.
For my intro to the series I'm digging it. Some of the enemy placements/attacks seem impossible to react to beforehand (really felt this on the mummy level). You jump forward and BAM, a dozen enemies.
>>379410418
Metal Slug Anthology yeah. I'm in Europe if maybe it's not showing up in us store for you?
It was £5 at Christmas. £15 now.
>>379410270
i think the second one tough i dunno 3 is pretty hype and varied.
>>379410856
Metal Slug 1 is notorious for slowdown.
>>379411132
so it's just a problem of 1 and not isolated to switch? because it's really bad on some places
Remember when we got to play as the rebel soldiers?Post soldier art
>>379412351
I really liked this art style. I heard the man who does this art is legit crazy though, does anyone know if this is true?
>>379410056
I used to be able to beat arcade Metal Slug 1 with a single quarter. Now I can barely get past stage four without dieing on the newer ones =(
>>379410270
Another 3 here, shit is the best one objectively.
>>379410226
Anthology is on the PSP and Vita, just get that, or put a NeoGeo emulator on your phone
>>379410270
3>X>2>XX>4>1>5>6>>>>>>>>>>3D
Never played Vanilla 7
Metal Gear spoiled us. Gorgeous spritework, diffiiculty, and good music. When was the last one made? Was it good?
>>379410270
The first one is the tightest.
>>379412704
*Gear
aw shit, i did it
>>379410270
Definitely 3, probably because I used to have it on xbox and my brothers and I played the shit out of it, but 2/X had the best stage song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX5MLF1ciMQ
>mfw I managed to beat the final mission of 3 with only 3 continues.
>>379412513
>was able to play though 3 with some one who had never played a MS game before
His face during 3's final mission was glorious
>>379412351
Is that a real thing? How do you get it?
>>379412704
XX (PSP) was the last one if you dont count the shitty tower defense one for iOS
>>379412704
Not including the pay 2 win mobile game its 7 on the DS, been years since I played it but I remember enjoying the part when you get into a giant mech to fight another giant mech.
>>379410270
3 is the best. 2 is my favorite. 1 is the only one I've done in one credit.Eri is best character.
Metal Slug Attack is fun
>>379412992
XX is the final one, anon, it fixes the bugs and mistakes of 7, along with better framerate and resolution
>>379412949
It's real, I'm not sure if it was ported to anything else but if you beat Metal Slug 3 on the xbox you unlock storming the mothership where you can play as a grunt in the final mission.

Friendly reminder that this motherfucker is the only correct choice for playing Metal Slug, and everyone else is objectively trash.
>no Eri
>>379412704
>>379412796
They both had boxarts made by Yoshiyuki Takani, coincidentally enough.
FIO is best girl
>>379413203
This guy gets it.
>>379413056
You can't just lie on the internet like that.
>>379413203
MARCO > FIO > TARMA > ERI > the rejects from 4-6 that no one cares about
At least we know the fate of the series rather than actually having hope remaining
>>379413250
correct
>>379410056
great games but i bought the bundle on steam and its a garbage fucking port. massive slowdowns and the controls dont bind properly. refunded after 3 minutes
>>379413330
Fio a THICC
Where can I play these games the way they're meant to be played? Other then having to locate an arcade box, of course.
>>379413493
>>379413330
Ex looked exactly like Fio. Too bad she was nuts.
>>379413493

>>379410056
What is Marcos face trying to convey?
>>379413203
I always liked Marco, cant go wrong with the cool shades. You're right about the sparrow girls though.
The designs in MS Attack are getting interesting
>>379410270
X because of Combat School and best girl.
>tfw Steam version doesn't come with it.
Into the trash it goes.
fio's cool and all but it kinda boggles my mind the degree that she is more popular than eri
>>379413613
Download fightcade, get the ROMS, buy an arcade stick.
i wanna play as alien
>>379413362

Correct, but Eri is also good

What if for a split second,like dont pay for ports of arcade games.
>>379413984
a shitty mobile game. dont bother.
the only good thing that came out of that game was new character artwork where the artist made every female a titty monster.

But Metal Slug Attack does not deserve the hate, if you do not touch PVP its pretty good game.
>>379414182

>>379415053
If you already have dolphin set up and you don't care about having an absolutely arcade perfect game, just get the anthology
>>379415053
I have Anthology on Wii, and it's breddy gud. I say Dolphin it up.
Unless you like using cheat codes, then MAME it up.
>>379414406
>its pretty good game.
how about you upload some webms because from the look of that other one it looks fucking retarded and shit.
>>379415053
>metal slug anthology
Unless you are downloading PSP version, do not bother
>>379414802
Cant share them because upload speed is trash unfortunately.

I feel like I've failed SNK.
I'm about to play the first three MS games for (I think) the first time. Bought them in the GOG sale.
There's nothing wrong with my plan of beating them in order first, right?
Tarma is best Metal Slug.
>>379410056
i wish theyd do a remake of the first 3 MS games with no fps drops and other small enhancements. i would buy it
Wich Metal slug (vehicle not game) was the best and why?
>>379417058
thats fucking sick
>>379417106
1 and 2 seem to be the easiest games so not at alltfw 1 is still the only one i've 1cc'd
>>379414406
Yeah no. Go fuck yourself.
>>379415934
Same here but it was at a pizza hut
>>379417168
Muh man.
Took me a while to accept how they made his damage shit when not riding a slug in 6.
>>379416823
they're interchangeable i suppose. their leader parodies hitler so i just figured, plus it's a fun japanese poke at big-nosed europeans
they definitely had a vision and did an amazing job at presenting a hybrid rambo anti-war parody
>>379417106
save 3 for last.or you'll regret it
>>379417254
Closest you've got for now is that PS4 port of the PS2 Metal Slug Anthology.
>>379417265
Gold SV-001.
Slug Gunner fans can keep their clunky walk, awkward/slower tank movement option, and stiffer aiming.
I used to play X a fair amount when I was younger back in the early '00s, my family's preferred holiday destination was rife with pubs that had MVS cabs with multi-game carts installed. Man those were good times, managed to relive it a little in Tokyo last year too, Super Potato Akiba had a machine running X on their top floor.
>>379415934
>just realized Fio's pants are pulled beneath her ass in that pic
LEWD
>>379417657
Alright, just as planned. You probably say that because of user improvements or some sort of twist (maybe 3's final level everyone is always praising?), and I'm fine with that.
>>379417359
I'll try hard to 1cc whatever I can! I remember having a good time with Alien Hominid back in the day, how bad could this be?
...
>>379414406
>"if you do not touch PVP its pretty good game"
>PVP makes up more than half of the game
>>379417058
Thats hilarious.
It actually took me a week as a kid to 1cc the first metalslug game.
>>379417359
>1 and 2 seem to be the easiest games so not at all
that's impossible.
1 by far is the hardest because it lacks balance for being the first.
projectiles are much faster, some of them don't blink red, and enemies crowd the screen
>>379417928
idiot that's her kneepad
>>379414406
>But Metal Slug Attack does not deserve the hate
>every mobile gaming cliche you can think of
>the sequel manages to be worse
>if you do not touch the majority of the game, it's a mediocre single player 'strategy' game on par with things you'd find on Kongregate or Newgrounds
Nice try, Mexibro
I would fuck fio so hard

Double XX. Waifu drill instructer was bretty hot.

>little brothers detected
Just fess up now.
Is it true that there's nudity in the Metal Slug games?
Heard something about being able to see Fio's asscrack in a death animation all the way back in high-school. But the guy who said that was THAT guy and he lied a lot.
Is it true?
>>379419386
Kind of; If you get killed by the snails in 3 while playing as either Eri or Fio, their clothes dissolve before they die. Depending on whether you were jumping or not when you get killed, you can either see their boobs or their ass.
>>379419386
Get hit by any acid attack as one of the girls. If you're on the ground, you get some cleavage. If you're in the air, you see ass. Also Utan takes out his dick.
>>379410056
switch metal slug 8 please
>Metal Slug makes the jump into 3d.
What design philosophy do you think it should pull from?
My vote goes to EDF.
>>379421991
First person shooter ala Quake.
>>379410056
bad fan-art.
>>379412949
pretty sure it's metal slug X, bonus stuff, there's also a fun pvp mode.
>>379413967
my favorite art, altho i prefer the grey ones
How is the anthology on Vita?
>>379421991
uh-oh...
>>379413343
fuck you ralf, clark and leona are great
>>379418116
Nah game's really not hard. You can get the 1cc in under 10 hours if you put your mind to it. Only tough parts are the level 3 midboss and the last level. Both become pretty easy after a bit of practice though, despite rng.
HOW ARE THE STEAM AND ANDROID PORTS?
IS IT BETTER TO EMULATE THEM YOURSELF?
WHATS THE BEST WAY TO PLAY THEM ON PC (emulate Metal Slug Anthology, or original Neo releases, or what)
So I've never played this series. Is it like Contra with funny characters or something? Not trying to be funny. Are the characters fast and manuverable because they look like chunky tanks to me. I'm trying to get the Wii collection but it's expensive.
>>379427131
No caps lock asshole
See >>379413864
I want to believe SNK is using all the money they get from MSA to make Metal Slug 8, but I know it'll probably never happen.
>>379427720
Beyond the money, I don't think they are artist talentuous enough to do sprites as good as MS1, 2 or 3's ones.
>>379427131
>WHATS THE BEST WAY TO PLAY THEM ON PC
MAME
Majority of the posts have audio bugs, video issues, worse framerate, load times, shit online
>>379427720
>I want to believe SNK is using all the money they get from MSA to make Metal Slug 8
just like they used the money from MSD to make Metal Slug 8 right?
>>379427463
DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO MUNGO
>>379417265
I've always had a soft spot for the slug copter, those oval shots make me hard.
>>379427405
Much slower than Contra. No infinite ammo besides starting pistol, generally no diagonal shooting, there's no touch damage unless you get ran over by a tank or something. Feels much better to shoot, much more forgiving and more fluid animations/sprite work. Overall game is lighthearted but characters do die gruesomely sometimes but it's mostly comic violence.
>>379410226
>paying anything to play those shit ports
The stand-alones are $6 because they are not shit ports
>>379427405
It's rife with dark comedy. The gameplay is pretty fun but I think what really stuck with people is its style. It has god tier spritework I've yet to see anywhere else. Despite not saying anything all of the characters (including the POWs and enemy soldiers) have a lot of personality. Def worth paying, doubly so if you've got a buddy.
