New Metal Slug collection announced, will include almost every 2D game plus the prototype version of the first game.https://x.com/Wario64/status/2097695810918248573
Hopefully they don't lock that prototype ROM behind some DRM bullshit. Out of the many undumped Neo Geo prototypes this was always one of the most interesting.
fyi you can already buy 1-5 on consoles for a few bucks each.
>MSlug7No XX?
Done by M2.https://x.com/METALSLUG_JP/status/2097699743254401452>>12806779>No XX?I'm assuming M2 hasn't developed a PSP emulator yet. The only reason 7 is here is because of the DS emulator they used for MMZX Legacy Collection and Castlevania Dominus Collection.
>>12806695Just emulate ps2 anthology, also>franchise died with 3
>>12806695I hope it will have a good crt filter option, or else it's a no buy from me.
haven't they made like a hundred of these metal slug collections already?
>>12806876No?
>>12806695Wasn't one of the metal slug devs saying he wanted to modernize them like the ninja warriors remake? Instead we get roms again, bummer.
I hope the location test is a full game and not like the rayman collection snes beta.
they didn't put the neo geo pocket games in this?
I wish there was a collection of all the old phone games. They always fascinated me.
>>12806895What's so bad about ms4 other than muh aliens are missing?
>>12806903You didn't think an ultimate collection would have all the games, did you???
>>12806918It was really rushing and short, also is the original "cheap remake" game.
>>12806907I bought one of those. Trying to control Metal Slug with a 3x3 cellphone numpad is just as hilariously bad as you'd expect. They changed nothing about the game mechanics to fit the platform
>>12806954Reusing assets is not the same as a remake. You can argue it's uninspired in that regard but imo the music is up there with the first three if not better and the level design is the best the series had seen up to that point. Also have you even played it? It's not that much shorter than the previous ones, that meme gets repeated a lot for some reason, makes it sound like the game is tiny.
>>128068495 is still good though, despite not being made by nazca
>>12806695>Advancewho the fuck asked for this slop?and where is 1st Mission and 2nd Mission?
>>12806918It's the Megaman X2 of the series. Very forgettable, does nothing new and plays it safe. Coming off of MS3's insane final level, it feels like a nothingburger.
>>12806695>no Terrifying 911I sleep
daily reminder 6 is the worst numbered MS gamefirst mission was kino as you'd expect from classic MS games then immediately it went downhill to shit as the rest of the game had you fighting boring new version of ''aliens''
>>12806849Don't EVER do what this guy says.The PS2 anthology collection has tremendous amounts of input lag (like half a second of a delay)! That collection should be forgotten in the annals of time.Just emulate the arcade games. 1, 2, X and to a lesser degree 3 are phenomenal.You can skip 4, 5, XX and 7. Those games lack soul and substance.
>>12806997That doesn't make it bad like most people imply.
Anons these games are like 2 hours long. Play them all for completion
>>12806994There's already a NGP collection with both games.
>>12806779whats the difference?
>>12806695>largest audience is South America>they can't afford it
>>12806695These collections are always laggy, barebones dogshit. Ignore it.
>>12806895>>12806979Metal Slug 4 is great. Some of the best level design and boss design in the series, it returns the series to its roots with minimal gimmicks or annoying sections. Also it finally binds the useless suicide Slug Attack to its own button so you can actually properly jump and shoot.It reuses a lot of assets, mostly because MS3 was expected to be the last Slug game so they basically shoved every idea they ever had in the game. Metal Slug 3 is only viewed as the best by secondary posers. Actual fans view it as the worst. It's long, bloated, with far too many gimmicks, the new weapons are annoying, poor boss design, by far the worst final stage and final boss in the series, and horrendous balance and bullet sponges especially in the alternate routes.2 > 1 > 4 > 3 > 6 > 5 X is a downgrade from 2 if you overclock to remove slowdown (which you should do all for all games), but is hard to rate properly as it is the second best in the series behind 2 (because it's 95% the same as 2), but most of the changes are downgrades or sidegrades so it's a bit pointless.
I might get this on the Switch 2
>>12807242I might play the games for free on fightcade.
>>12807217>by far the worst final stage and final boss in the seriesIs in MS2. Bulletsponge piece of shit.
>>12807260Rugname is an amazing fight, miles better than that piece of shit in MS3
>>12806695Why is 7 included but not Double XX?That's the improved version of 7, and the only version that allows coop.
dunno if its breaking the rules but at the end of this collection they also announced a new metal slug btw
>>12807204Its M2, they actually give a shit.Crazy to think the prototype with just the Slug is actually gonna be playable.>>12807268Probably because every other game is something they’re emulating. M2 can certainly do DS emulation as the Castlevania collection was excellent.
>>12807217>Metal Slug 3 is only viewed as the best by secondary posers. Actual fans view it as the worstSpeak for yourself, tourist.
>>12807260Don't feed the troll, it's just a kid who's seeking here the attention he isn't getting at home.
>>12806695Will it fix the slowdowns?
>>12807048When the previous games have been amazing, average doesn't cut it.
>>12807386Oh nice, we might actually get a decent way to play Metal Slug 7 then
>>12807406I have no death clears in Slug 1-6, seethe shitter.
>>12806820Idk about Dominus, but the Zero/ZX collection was developed by Capcom themselves and they are ports, not emulation.
>>12807386>Its M2Yeah I looked it up and I'm very happy it's them and not Digital Eclipse or LRG. Their "engines" are hacky and inaccurate.
Is amazing how metal slug x took over metal slug 2.
>>12806709Or get them for free...
>>12806702If GG Aleste 3 and the Genesis Mini 2 are anything to go by, there will probably an anti-piracy check in the rom. They learned a lot since their Genesis port of Darius was dumped.
>>12807204>These collections are always laggyIt's because the games themselves are inherently laggy, like 5 frames of built in input delay, so any additional lag from emulation makes them unplayable without runahead.
>>12808756That webm right there IS emulation.MiSTer or properly configured PC emulation is very low lag
>>12806892I think the original team nazca is doing a spiritual successor on steam but I don’t know how far along that is
>>12806695No 1st and 2nd mission?Honestly those IMO are some of the most underrated 2D retro games of all time but I guess they’re already out on the Neo Geo Pocket Collection
>>12808943It's a little problematic.
>>12808745>As IF those can't be broken
>>12808614Hey shit stain, X is 2 but improved.
>>12808953
>>12807445Ok? What does that have to do with my greentext?
