The more games I play the more I appreciate Metal Slug's powerup system

The fucking idea that a powerup downgrades you blows my fucking mind

Actually it works like this: each time you collect the other shot type it upgrades that shot by 1 and downgrades your previous shot by 1. Taking enough damage also downgrades your current shot type by 1.

That's still bs
why tf would it not just be "changes shot type and upgrades by +1"?? Why make me want to avoid pickups? I know Ghosts n Goblins did it but that game was always trash
Upgrades are meant to be fun not fucking mines to avoid

it's a mostly faithful remake with a bunch of fun additions, I remember beating the SNES game before they announced it
