Why I LOVE Japanese Games Part 8: Metal Slug series

Just love the sprite work put into this series

Yo this is your boy the omegakatana bringing you another why I love japanese games episode 8 and it’s on another famous SNK series. The series is called metal slug the series is a run and gun game which are mostly cheap and require fast reflexes in order to enjoy them but this series stands out the most due to it’s amazing pixel graphics and designs of the characters and enemies. Also it’s gameplay is compelely addicting as hell because it’s easy to pick up diffcult to master. and boy these games get difficult when you get to the final stages of the game and some of the final bosses take forever to kill like the one in metal slug 5. How I gotten into the series first off I saw it’s display mode on a neo geo cabinet in my local flea market and I was so amazed seeing the pixels move around so fast as well detailed they are also how fun the gameplay looked like. unfortunately I NEVER EVER GET TO PLAY THOSE GAMES HATE BEING BROKE AS A KID! I never ever get to play one untill my granpa bought me metal slug collection for the psp for my birthday and I never ever put the game down at all. it’s the most played psp game I played besides macross ace frontier and guilty gear judgement (which includes guilty gear XX). I  beaten every metal slug game in the collection over and over but the first one is always my favorite one for some reason. And I LOVE the other games as well but the first one sticks out to me being the one I enjoyed the most. Infact it’s the best shooter games I ever played and it isnt a 1st person shooter which most you will say “metal slug isnt a shooter its a run and gun game” metal slug to me it’s a 2d platform shooter and this series still have it’s charm when I first played the games even more so than the OVERRATED Call of Duty series which those games have no replay value if you dont got internet or no psn or xbox live.
