Metal Slug Pachislot

>>381182046
That is one dope ass intro for an MS game.
Shame its wasted on a FUCKING PACHISLOT GAME!

>>381182046

There are nice, OP. But aren't there any versions that aren't meant for tiny ant computers?

>There will never ever be a new 2D metal slug game with updated HD spritework.

At least the old games never get old for a quick playthrough or two.

Also, wasn't Fio a brunette?

I love how Fio and Eri wear almost as few clothes as Quiet while still looking practical and much sexier.

Okay, then I understand. Another question related to the series. Was it confirmed Metal Slug occur in the exact same world as The King of Fighters, but chronologically Metal Slug takes place in the future?

Metal Slug does take place in the future. At the present time the whole team are children. I guess they take place in the same universe seeing how Ralf, Clark and Leona join up with them

>>381185684
Oh yeah, which slug was that? 7?

>>381185751
6 has Ralf and Clark join up. 7 has Leona as DLC.

Well, XX actually. Which is a (somewhat) less shittier version of 7.

>>381185684
I wonder if the Metal Slug team will ever be part of the King of Fighters tournament. I know that Fio was in a KoF Maximum game, but she wasn't part of it's story, more like an extra character there just to be playable. Although, considering Metal Slug occur in the future, that would mean the characters in KoF are older, some of which perhaps aren't even part of the roster anymore.

It's the worst mainline metal slug. You should still play it just to see how lame it is compared to the rest but I would recommend the neo geo pocket games for play right after.

>>381185071
Never gonna happen.

>>381187234
Lack of interest from the series both from developers and players? Or at least they don't see a huge demand for the series?

The series has never been marketed as much as their many fighting games. People know about it purely from word of mouth or from spotting the eye-catching graphics somewhere. I don't know why.

You could make the argument that all of their fighting games are one hundred percent more replayable but trying to 1cc the games is a joy that isn't the same as trying to 1cc other arcade games, with how much the games just spoil you with their graphics. It's a work of art you wouldn't mind just looking at forever. It's a series that could be enjoyed alongside their MANY fighting franchises.

I mean sure people KNOW about the games but SNK's not making them care enough.

>>381186569
That bad? Worse than 4?
Damn, that sucks.

>>381189079
It's mostly because of the lack of variety in locations and enemies, as well as a lack of cool scenarios. 4 and 5 at least tried in that department even though there's lots of problems here and there. 7 is the most unimaginative.

>>381189248
Hey I love 5, my second favorite after 3... Well at least almost tied with 2/X but technically third favorite.

>>381189376
I don't get what people see in it. I should try playing it more.

I'm gonna be playing it for the next thirty days, anon. I bought a monthly card so I can get 120 medals, their premium currency, for the next thirty days to help me out.

I like, like, three of the original characters they've made exclusively for the game. Mummy Cat, Jin, and MS-Alice. I think they'd be able to fit in a mainline metal slug pretty easily. The other characters NOT being able to fit into a mainline MS game says a lot about them, seeing just how open Metal Slug got with it's themes starting with 2. Cute girls, wackier humor, aliens, supernatural... It seemed like anything would fit but boy do a lot of their OCs just not belong.

I'm sure you're seeing a pattern in these characters... They all seem like they should be in their own game rather than in a Metal Slug.

None of these feel metal slug to me, to be honest.

My problem with the majority of the Ptolemaic girls is that they're lacking the "moe" factor that the original MS girls have. I mean I guess they're okay looking characters. They could probably fit into a metal slug anime, but certainly not a game because of how protag-looking they are.

Cancer.

>>381192218
Unh, I understand.

>>381191460
My problem with them is a whole team made up of super rares. They should limit them to 2 per team.

It's not going to help with the blatant power creep going on but it's a start.

Is it just the ptolemaic army that's looking noticeably stronger?

Well besides this faggot. Besides him the game's perfect.

I never got these games. Some of them are supposed to have a story to them right? Hell, even Guilty Gear Vastedge had a story to it, which I thought was kind of retarded at the time and I still do because Daisuke still made it part of canon and had it so that by the time we got into -Sign- all that shit had already come to pass with no in-game reference. So, what...is the only way you can win is by pure luck in that case with Pachinko games?

>>381195601
With the pacislot games, yes, pure luck. They are designed to give out eventually though, to make it fair. The actual games on the other hand require practice and skill.

>>381185405

Honestly you can't take the timeline of kof pretty seriously anyway. Many characters from different games make up the roster, and the time fuckery from the Ash saga pretty much confirms that they don't plan to make any character have any significant aging up.

>>381195753

Alright just needed to be sure. I'm into the mainline games but I never got pachislot games.

I just think it's pretty retarded to spend time on cutscenes like they have done for kof and fatal fury which have their own pachislots. You put that work in or whatever for a game that takes luck to progress in.

Could've been putting those resources into a real game.

>>381196007
Pachislots make a shit-ton of money though. Usually they'll make back the money they invested without too much trouble. Can't say the same about games, especially for more niche games like Metal Slug.

>especially for more niche games like Metal Slug
They don't HAVE to be niche. 1cc could be pretty mainstream pretty easily.

Rhythm games demand you replay them again and again for a good score

Rougelikes demand you make it through the game without dying.

Just make a new metal slug with branching paths, emphasis on POWs, and all the usual crap you need to make a good metal slug on par with 3.

>>381196303
I realize that, but as they are right now, it's a niche franchise. You'd have to be willing to take a pretty big risk to do it. Although, like you said, with roguelikes and other games like it, you could probably show that games that require you to play it over and over again are still popular.

Doesn't help that the last few games were shit, so the entry would have to be pretty strong to launch it into the limelight.

It's completely pay to win, but you can still have fun with it. Super grindy and it will take you some time to find any good units without spending money, or even power up ones you like.

At high levels everyone uses the same units and it's kind of disgusting how formulaic people are about it.
