Metals Slug is my favorite videogame franchise
>>737823523shame what happened to it.hopefully Black Finger JET can live up to expectations
>>737823523Which is dead and buried due to their greed. Just let it go, anon. Also dumb ESL.
metal slug tactics is my favorite metal slug game, i hope they make a sequel
>>737823927>Which is dead and buriedSNK literally just announced that they're making new MS games.
>>737824102Oh yeah new gamesWith auto shootingAmnd lets add several health bar points, can't make alphies mad because they actually have to get gud.
FIO
>>737823523Based, but only if you acknowledge that Eri is the best girl.
>>737824541She is. But if the post above you is from the OP, he is a disgusting Fio cunt.
>>737824541>>737824630I never play as girls
I like to do a challenge, i open up metal slug X and drop as many virtual coins in as i do currently in my wallet and see how far i could get if i was playing it like an actual arcade gameStill quite shit honestly, i can just about beat stage 1 without dying, usually take my first death on the boss of stage 2 and its all downhill from there
>>737824836Show us the Marco porn then
>Post 1cc with handcam shitter
>>737824851I beat it with a single life, no continues. I dunno if I can do it again. I can't reproduce it with an emulator, the controller sucks.
I am rocking the metal slug OSTs in spotify up to 4. I don't like 5+ much.
this and hydro thunder were the first video games i ever played. contra is better.
>>737825476Nothing beats blue water fangs in my humble opinionhttps://youtu.be/sBt49-y8czg?si=6jJ5GqTUmw74oGI-
>>737825476Not even Speeder from MS5?
Whats the best way to play this on pc?
>>737824541Based as fuck. I like that she has the cuter sprite and nicer color scheme.
>>737826248Back in the day it was MAME all the way
>>737823523how many did you one-sissy
>>737823523You and every other spic who can't clear it or copies some other clear video verbatim.
>>737826248winkawaksBut finding roms that work with kawaks is a fucking hard task, unless you know where to look. alternatively, you can use mame.
>>737826412>uses one of the most inaccurate emulators to playdidn't expect much else from south americans on /v/
>>737826367I am spic and I used to clear 1,2 x and 4.
>>737826487And I'm sure your clear looks exactly like every other spic's clear because none of you can play a game and enjoy it to flesh it out for yourself but instead just copy monkey each other.
>>737826461Shut up, whitoid. Your skin color will never make you superior.
>>737826346hey shmup guy. you forgot the tranime avatar.
>>737826461>>737826559lmao got himwtf is winkawaks just use fbneo like a normal person
>>737826645You are a worthless human being who had achieved nothing in his life, except being white.
>>737826339I installed MAME half a year ago to experience my childhood of playing 19XX and 1944 and I was bewildered at what the fuck happened to that program
>>737826339>>737826412What version? Arcade or console?
>>737826783At least it was never PJ64, learned tge hard way what happened to that
>>737826821MAME is for arcade cabinets, haven't used it myself in almost 20 years though so it could be shit now
>>737826783Do tell.t. farted around with MAME like two decades ago to play OutRun + Space Harrier authentically
>>737826248With your friends:D
>>737826821Console has training mode and a few more options. You can enable console mode with dip switches.
>>737823523I never played beyond 4, am I missing out?
>>737826986No. Not at all.Maybe some good music but nothing else.
>>737826923it became a bloated menu clusterfuck similar to retro arch
>>737826986Only if you care about the story
>>737823523Is there any other series that captures the feeling of running and gunning like Metal Slug? The sections where the assault theme kicks in are so fun.
>>7378269865 is ok, was not a fan of 6 at all they replaced half the classic sfx and it just sounds weird
Combat School is fun, too bad my version of Metal Slug 1 was in japanese.
>>7378270846 is also when they started using pre-rendered backgrounds instead of hand-drawn ones and it looks like dogshit.
>>737826554Ok show us your based totally original and improved 1 life runs, then.
>>7378269865 is still fun but a bit of a ballbuster.6 is entirely missable as is 7/XX.Well, actually I do kind of like 7/XX save for the final boss.There's also MSD and MSA but those are just tower defense gachas.
>>737824258>Health barsMetal slug advance called
>>737827561And it sucked. Glad we agree.
Does anyone ever remember censored versions of the first 3 games with white blood?
>>737827301And lets not fucking forget different stats for different characters and that one guy whose special ability is kickingFucking joke of a game but now i feel strangely compelled to play it again
>>737827693Yeah, they did that to a few console releases for the game.I'm glad I still have my copy of Metal Slug Anthology in that regard.
>>737827693It is a setting in arcade.
I finished the gba game a few months ago. Pretty good, its one of the easier ones i think.As a kid i never finished it, its a very short game.
>>737828140Unless you never got hit or used food, you didn't finish shit, anon.
>>737823523That just marks you as a retard, then, because the whole franchise is piss easy retard feed for casuals who think pretty 2d crabs are what make a game good. Sorry!
>>737828326here is that reply you craved for
>>737823523Metal Slug was the Finish line of 2d graphics and the peak of it.
Metal Sluts
>>737823523So why do they look like that anyway
>>737829645Stylistic choice.
>>737829645I domt know
>>737828548Its the best looking game of all time
>>737824102the art in the new games is sovlless though>>737825616wrong>>737829645because its kino
>>737828727Never liked the push by western trannies to turn Fio and Eri into muscle mommies. Hopefully SNK will ignore those tourists.
>>737827145Neo Geo is multi-region, the console bios is what determines language, this includes the Neo Geo CD releases like Metal Slug, hell on the CD consoles it is just a jumper wire.downside is switching it to English also adds the English censorship with the blood turning grey/white.
>>737829645>>737829728>>737831873>>737832816They don't, those are propaganda posters to make them look uglyThey've always been normal looking in other official art.
>>737823523pretty good choice. the art design of the first 5 games is peak.shame there is almost nothign like that in 3d
>>737829645>>737836718A developer already talked about it.https://x.com/akio_1963/status/1880557591371391468tl:dr: there's no deeper meaning, they look ugly because it's funny.
>>737828326>2d crabs are what make a game goodShow me a better 2d crab and i will concede
>>737837489>Back in those days, the gaming scene was in the golden age of fighting games, and every arcade cabinet was packed with nothing but handsome guys and gorgeous women. To stand out in that crowd, we thought about how to differentiate ourselves, so we deliberately went with ugly character designs. That’s why those unenthusiastic expressions don’t actually carry any deep meaning like “they don’t want to go on the mission.” In other words, the goal was simply to make players go, “What the heck is with this character!”—just to create some absurd, offbeat humorWrong, they wanted to stand out to other games. Not sure why you glossed over that part.
>>737837710Not him, but all official art i've seen doesn't depict them that wayIts pretty much only found in the character selectseehttps://snk.fandom.com/wiki/Tarma_Roving/Gallery
>>737826248retroarch
>>737837590https://youtu.be/mO2TPsUsvfwMetal Slug for comparisonhttps://youtu.be/sW58gVNemxg
>>737838559Very stiff. The Metal Slug one is much better animated.Cool phase transition though.
>737828326>Doesn't understand arcadesI owned one. I owned a metal slug arcade, you have no idea what yours talking about lol.
>>737838821Which one looks actually more fun to fight? There is more to visuals than artwork.
>>737838559
>>737838948Metal Slug.The top one like every other shmup tries too hard and thinks filling the screen with bullets makes for good difficulty. You're basically just dodging pre-set patterns in an auto-scroller, practically a glorified rhythm game.
>>737839198>tries too hardHmm like I thought, I know what you are. Gotta keep those boss fights relaxed and comf kino, amirite
>>737827772Tarma's 6/7/XX ability is kicking slugs to repair them (or accidentally damage them more if you got unlucky), unless you're thinking of Ralf whose gimmick is punching everything to death.
Why don't Saudis make a new Metal Slug?Have a release every year or every two years
>>737839240Pretty little colorful boolet patterns are what make a game good.
>>737839510Saudis are culturally bankrupt, all they can do is throw money at equally culturally bankrupt chinks to make gachaslop.
>>737839548Functionally, the crab boss does not even pose a threat as you are immediately given a vehicle with 3 health and it will die while only shooting one bullet at your position. How is that good design
>>737839628I'm sure jeets and Chinks can churn out 8 Metal Slug levels every yearThey don't even need to pay for voice acting since they don't talk and all of their audio has been permanently on record like Mario; they can hire the original voice actors again to make the same noises to update it for the future
>>737839641Yeah man, the devs should've just copypasted the bullet a hundred times all over the screen THEN it would be good game design.
>>737840356Yeah, being actually having to worry about getting hit would make the boss exponentially more threatening, instead of spending a bunch of money to have a cinematic fight with no threat whatsoever like a modern AAA movie game.
>>737840493You're just learning set patterns, probably that you learned on youtube. Glorified rhythm game.
