Metal Slug Thread
Let's talk about Metal Slug anons, which entry is your favorite? What's the best way to play these games today? What do you think of the post-Metal Slug 3 entries? Got any tips for 1cc attempts?

They’re all varying degrees of good except for that shit mobile game and the PS2 is one. Don’t hold a candle to 1/2/X/3 though

I agree, I think the amount hate they get is kind of outsized, even if SNK hadn't gone bankrupt, I think they still would've struggled to top the original games, Metal Slug 3, while not necessarily the best game in the series, represents the technical peak, at the end of the arcade age. The series time would've passed even if SNK hadn't fallen apart.

I can only do 1

protip: hang left and advance a pixel at a time thru some of the "hard" parts of MS1, esp. on missions 4 and 6, they programmed the spawn locations in a gay way that lets you cheese them

The first 3 games are so god tier they make the rest of the games in the series, which are still 10/10 games, look like shit.

If serious, mister is hardware emulation. Software emulation for Neo Geo is good too though so honestly just emulate if you can’t play the og carts

I play X if I want to experience 2 without slowdown otherwise no, I don’t feel like the slowdown is necessary is necessary to fix. It’s almost like the slowdown in shmups

I've only played the first one on an actual arcade cabinet. I played the game at a laundromat that had a small arcade room. This was like 15+ years ago.

I think the rest I either played on some MAME emulator or a PSP port.

First is my favorite since I can vividly remember most of the game. I remember the others had cooler vehicles introduced like mechs and airplanes.

The psp anthology removes the slowdown, has blood. has autofire and the psp also has the exclusive metal slug XX.

easy to pirate and play with PPSSPP.

Always thought of Metal Slug as a pretty crappy gameplay-wise series with top-notch graphics and overall good style. Are there any other games with similar art style?

Some things you should know about the ACA Neo Geo ports:

They are accurate ports of the MVS Arcade releases (which means the slowdown is there)

They come with both Japanese and USA roms

You can configure the DIP switches for enableing blood for example

You can stretch the image to fit your screen

Screen filters include, no filtering, texture filtering and texture filtering with scanlines.

There is a display widescreen option for the neo geo games which makes the game display wider without distorting the aspect ratio. For the metal slugs they all have this except for metal slug 1.
