Metal Slug Story Explained Part 1

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 11 сер 2020
  • Metal Slug is a Run and Gun series created by SNK. It is considered as one of the best looking 2d games of its generation, and a major arcades franchise during the mid and late nineties.
    While Metal Slug does not belong to the fighting genre, which is the main focus of this channel, it has a surprisingly deep and rich lore, that it would be criminal of me to continue ignoring.

      Now that I know I wonder how is possible that the heroes didn't side with him, especially after the denied resignation i mean. Is clear that the regular army is exploiting them as the leadership is to much corrupted to create a real plan.

Ended up loving it just the same - unbiased. My kind of insanity in a 2D game. If I aint playing classic Contra titles or Gunstar Heroes, it's Metal Slug. Everyone else can enjoy their First Person Shooters as I won't contradict them. But I know what I love and why I love it.

Now everyone knows that when you open a PS3, There's a chance that it will crash or you have to restart. (NOT FLEXING!!!!!) That never happened to me. l have alot of games in PS3 (Like OG GAMES. Silent hill (i can't even play it cuz it so scary. I would let my big brother played it. wait wu-) Tekken, and more.) But i always choose. METAL SLUG, MS2, MS3. (My big brother was still in college so he was studying always. Meaning he rarely plays with me. BUT HE HAD TIME TO PLAY WITH MEEE.) Instead of just run n gun. Me and my brother would play the game to get all the secrets. Sometimes we would race to get the item or gun we want! (I liked flame shot, He also want flame shot) And the rest is we had fun and finish the games. Man. Good times, Thanks for reading (if u actually read.) Byes

    Guessing the Japanese army is also a reference to that lost Japanese soldier who kept thinking WW2 was ongoing years after it ended.

    I like all the details that are mentioned here. Though I have a few nitpicks:
    Huge Hermit was an accident for the most part. The story goes is that a Giant Shell-less Hermit Crab outgrew its shell and saw the rebels' large artillery piece as a new home. When the rebel army found out what happened to their artillery they just played along and trained it.
    Sol Dae Rokker was also apparently Mars People-tech. But it was worshipped as a divine entity by the ancient people who used to live there.

    First time I played a Metal Slug game was during my university years. The arcade cabinet was located in the lobby of the gym building. I was waiting for class, noticed it, and instantly fell in love despite the amount of quarters it would eat. It is the perfect illustration of how a genre of video games develops for the better since Metal Slug is everything Contra style games could become over time.

      I'm still hoping to see one of the MS characters to become playable Fighters in future KOF installments, Hell, Marco & Fio actually made a Cameo in the Ikari Warriors ending in KOF 14 (It could be a foreshadow but who knows).
      My picks are Marco, Tarma & Eri (Sorry Fio, but I just found Eri way more Cooler).
