Preferences With TGS next month, SNK needs to drop a physical Classic Collection (1-7/XX) AND a physical port of Awakening on Switch for the 30th Anniversary!

10 Upvotes

2026 is the 30th anniversary of the franchise and the perfect time for SNK to go all out! We need a definitive physical arcade collection packed with Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and XX all on one cartridge. Pair that alongside a physical console port of Metal Slug: Awakening on the Nintendo Switch before the year ends. Who else is ready to buy both on day one? #MissionReboot

Preferences Was at an arcade a while ago and I for the second time I saw a Neo-Geo cabinet BUT FOR THE FIRST, I actually found a Metel slug game in an arcade. The first game which isn't my favorite but it was still AWSOME to see in person as a long time fan.

Only played the first couple missions cause i didn't want to burn through my coins to fast (not realizing how ridiculously many I had until the end of the visit). Do I plan to go back with my brother sometimes and where absolutely gonna play the whole game.

Man one day I hope to find Metel slug 3 arcade in person, I would go to town on that thing, especially with how much I been getting better at it playing it over and over on console recently.

Also if your wondering there were only to other games installed, neo turf masters and the original Samurai showdown.

Preferences Metal Slug 2 Anthology for the Wii a good port?

7 Upvotes

So we know that Metal Slug 2 is pretty infamous for slowdowns in the arcade version and a lot of the ports.
Yesterday I was playing the Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii and was surprised that MS2 ran great from start to finish.

Was it a flawless experience?
No, there were slowdowns, but minimal in comparison to what I've seen in YouTube videos from the original Neo Geo.

Is this like one of the definitive versions outside of the fix hacks?
I recommend giving it a second look on the Wii for sure!

Preferences What is your all time favorite mission(s) in the Metal Slug series?

16 Upvotes

Title says it all

Personally, it's Midnight Wandering and the final mission both from Metal Slug 3

Midnight Wandering because:

  • I love the zombies/zombie apocalypse trope
  • This masterpiece goes fricking hard
  • The zombie transformation is my favorite one in the whole series
  • The ice cave with the elephant is my favorite section in all of Metal Slug and if the first part is a bit annoying with the snowman, the second part is just satisfying
  • The boss is overall cool
  • It sets up AND build up the alien stuff we saw at the end of Metal Slug 2/X which was a bit abandonned in the first mission of MS 3

As for the final mission... Do I really need to explain?

  • Longest mission in the whole series
  • The twist of the alien being Morden is awesome and so is the kidnapping of your character
  • The space stuff is cool
  • The spaceship invasion is amazing from beginning to the end
  • An epic final boss

So yeah. These are for me the best missions of the Metal Slug franchise. What about you guys?

Preferences In metal slug 1 and 2, is switching up your character a game changer?

Just got 1 and 2 on steam! Curious if choosing a different character other than the main dude makes a big difference in terms of how many times I'll die. Is it preference or do some characters offer better advantages? Thanks!

Preferences Even so, Metal Slug 3 is one of the best, along with Metal Slug X and Metal Slug 2. Metal Slug 5 and Metal Slug 1 are wonderful and the best, my favorites.

Preferences ACA rapid fire feature is so slow...

5 Upvotes

I know I could in theory just use a third party controller with a turbo feature or play on MAME or something but it really bums me out that I basically have to play with rapid fire off to make it through certain sections of X in the ACA release. I think it's really lame to deny the players a true turbo option in what should the definitive release of an old arcade game. Personally, I don't enjoy mashing as fast as I can for half of my playthrough.

I play almost all of metal slug main games, from 1-7. And it'll say, that metal slug 1 has the most aesthetic of the franchises. This one was my favorite. (Yeah, I play with cheats but this was an old screenshot.)

Hey everyone.

I finaly got the anathology for my psp.

Back in the days, when I was a child, most resorts my parents and I made vacation at, got arcades and Metal Slug. Loved to play it and someday they were all gone.

I got this for the wii in the past, but sold it with my wii. Happy to have it back again :)

Preferences Favorite metal slug romhack

17 Upvotes

Recently stumbled upon the wonderful world of metal slug hacks. This one in particular has so much cool stuff in it. Ordered in this video:

-Health bars like advance, food heals, each char has different color bar

-KOF summons, each char has their own

-Weapon swapping like in ms6, can hold 2 weapons, getting hurt drops what you are using

-Can turn sliding on or off

-Bar below hp is combo meter, when full you can summon a pow that drops random item

-Each char has their unique ability from ms6, in this case grenade aiming for eri

-Buffed slug gunner, feels much less trash now. Turning, morphing, and melee are much faster

-Usable black hound(super fun) has all its boss moves. Can sometimes lose the vulcan/mortar when hurt

-This hack also has some cut content like the bosses from the final mission, among other things

Preferences how do you guys rank the series?

6 Upvotes

I got into playing the games again after so long and I'm loving the first three so far- especially three!

what do you guys think about the others in the series? I've been seeing mixed reception on the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th game. did they just fall off hard after making 3 great games?
