I really wanted to take a look at the Metal Slug franchise as it's one of my favorite arcade series of all time and the history behind the games and their evolution is quite interesting. When it comes to retro gaming you can't skip Metal Slug!
Up next: Metal Slug 5! If Metal Slug 4 was garbage then Metal Slug 5 was a decent return to form for the series. It's certainly not as good as 1/2/X or 3 but Mega Corporation was out of the picture for Metal Slug 5 and Noise Factory made the entire game. It brings back all the charm and humor of the series while keeping that retrogaming arcade run and gun action we all crave! It's a decent way for the series to leave the Neo Geo before it moved onto the Atomiswave for Metal Slug 6!
I am playing on the MiSTer FPGA Neo Geo core too! So you don't need to drop thousands of dollars on an AES cart!
