Why

[Seraphim // Creeker]

Why spend so much skill and money on a game like this instead of reliving the saga in an incredible way with a new Metal Slug that isn't tactics or p2w???

Don't come and defend these P2W because this will never be a new Metal Slug.
Aqua Ippan is what SNK doesn't want to do. Fortunately, I will continue to be a huge fan of the true saga that is Guns N' Runs.

This is a ported phone game that ran from 2016 to January 2023
Before that being MSD
I wouldn't really say they put any work into it

Metal slug is a dead series
I don't think a 8 will ever be made or you'll see a new metal slug again

Its both that and really agverateing becuase alot of people dumbly blew money with the mirco transactions

Then they would unistall there game which they got locked out of your account

Device Passwords would reset weekly or every 2 weeks if you knew about ot
We got infinte with no time limt but by then it was to late


Then there was the whole process of contacting consumer service
You had to run Google translate

Alot of people weren't smart to back up there account information
you had to screenshot your account ID with other info

Event story's went no wear and were petty

I played from April 2018 to January 2023

You didn't see Metal Slug Tactics?
It's not a traditional Metal Slug game, but it looks super fun

Been playing the demo

Its mostly a dead series for the longest time they been pushing out mobile metal slugs
they been leasing the IP to other studios for awhile now

Rather then SNK working on it them it them self

Because it makes them a lot of money. Look at the plebbits, there's only about 6k redditors subbed to the Metal Slug page but Metal Slug Attack has 34k subs. Granted, most of us who love arcade games don't even use that crap website anyway but even if we did I'd guess we'd only be 10k at the absolute most since real balls to the wall action games just aren't popular with modern gamers who prefer this grindy pay2win ish. (I might get the switch version though coz I love the Metal Slug music & gfx.)

You're asking for a monkey paw wish. I'd rather that SNK lets the action platformers stand on its own until they come across some new devs who can do the series justice. Similar to what happened with Streets of Rage. SOR4 has no right to be as good as it is, but it's actually as legendary as the classic trilogy. That's not an easy feat to accomplish. The last thing I want to see from Metal Slug is for they to go the way of Contra, where even Konami themselves don't seem to understand what made the platformers good. Operation Galuga is ok at best, but ok isn't enough for a series that's so damn legendary.
