How about not limiting the credits to 20?

[Paratech2008]

How about letting gamers have unlimited credits, that was the way it was in the arcade.
Or at least have a credits setting.

I don't remember having unlimited credits in arcade. More like max 2-4.

20 credits should be more than enough to finish this game.

I manage to get to Mothership entry with 20 credits on very hard. 20 credits is enough, OP is spoiled from wii version.

It's not about "I'm good at this game and 20 credits is more than enough for me"
It's about choice, options, being able to play the game your way.

I'd also like infinite credits... in fact, until it does, my gift copy I bought for myself isn't getting activated.

[Paratech2008]

If the arcade version limited credits, I might see a point.

And so some people can beat it in 20 credits? Exactly how is unlimited credits going to interfere with your game play?

How about just emulating the game and not adding artificial limitations to it?

BTW The PSP Metal Slug Collection didn't limit credits either IIRC.

I like how they put limited credits, it feel old school, like in those era when we had limited continue.

I think the number is quite balanced, you have to learn the game to finish it, managed to get to the final boss, still didn't and that doesn't frustate me.

This thread may either the greatest parody thread ever or the worst attempt at making classic games easy ever.

It's a thread to fight for more options.

Sure, you may want this PC port to have less options than every single other port out there, you may like having games be restricted in many ways, we don't.

I remember playing this first time on PS2 and if I'm not entirely wrong it also had unlimited credits. Not that I personally need them but more options is always better especially if you'd like to play with some kid or something. Just disable achievements and such if needed.

Wow! Thanks for this OP. I was about to buy it in this sale, but not anymore. It's better to continue emulating it.

Yeah i'm not buying it either.

Limited continues means I can't let siblings play it. Sorry but this option seems to be so easily fixed that it feels stupid for them to not have it.

Credits should be DLC!

[Rarewolf]

in the arcade it would cost you 25 cents each play.

But here you pay a flat our price so it should pay for all the Credits you want! I mean with the arcade you could pay untill you win here you have no choice!

That being said I rock at metal slug and could do this with 20 guys no issue

I'm sad to see people advocating piracy because they can't beat the game in 20 credits, one of the most LENIENT credit allowances of any Metal Slug release.

What's the point in playing a game known for being challenging if the ability to lose is removed?

The most lenient? Besides almost all the other ports you mean? Because they allowed infinite credits.

I have never once heard anyone say this game is known for being challenging, I heard this game is a lot of fun, but, if I'm wrong about that~
