Of all the SNK games to make it big, it's funny that Metal Slug was the one to do it.

Woah, big

>>715101419
You know it!

whoa! Big

KoF got pretty big recently too

Dragon Quest!

>>715106984
It's pretty neat
SE is going to announce news on 12 any minute now...

>ITT

I hate fatfags.

>>715107792
>UHHHH THICKER
literally me

>>715107792
Yes. Today is Thursday.

>>715108885
So it is.

>>715110236
>>715101419
Love this man's work

>>715108060
i hate coomers
i thought it was gonna be a Metal Slug thread and it's just another pile of dumbass porn slop
THE JOKE IS SEX

>>715107565
Man, every time they say they're "about to announce" something for DQ XII, I brace myself for another logo with ominous music. Been three years since they dropped that "Dark Fantasy" tease and we've still seen nada. At this point I'd be happy with just a slime waving at me to let me know it's still alive.

>>715114197
A port of 9 with online would make me happy. That game was a ton of fun with a friend.

>>715115025
>>715114197
I'd settle for a Switch 2 version of X offline at this point.
There is ZERO justifiable reason for SE to have not brought that over by now

>>715100723 (OP)
Quickly!
Whats the best Metal Slug game?

>>715115613
SE probably thinks its too much work rewriting the script to include out funny accents and puns, or its somehow a threat to FF14

>>715116194
First Mission!
It's all I've played

>>715116363
That'd dumb, but I believe SE would think that.

>>715116194
3, 5, and Advance

>>715116572
Really it feels like they will spend more time trying to come up with ways to not bring it over than they would actually doing it.

>>715117462
At least we have the remakes. Though I wish they were remakes of V and VI, but I digress.

>too big for the tanks and mecha

>>715117901
I would think they could be up next after 1 and 2 get released. Or that port of 9 seeing as that hasn't had a chance at getting a rerelease yet.

I play the metal slug games at least a few times every other year but I still don't know if the fat mechanics actually does something besides slightly changing how the projectiles look, and i think act too?

>>715118374
Sans actually releasing 12, SE is going to have to remake/remaster to keep the franchise alive in the public eye everywhere outside Japan that or more spin-offs nobody asked for. Wouldn't surprise me if we get a Builders 3 announcement at a Nintendo Direct one day or something.

>>715100723 (OP)
This is funny to me because I remember seeing the demo of one of these at an arcade when I was 12, and in it one of the girls gets shot with a syringe gun and turns into a monkey. I was totally fascinated, and waited to see it loop a few times. Is this how it was for you weirdos? Except it lasted long enough to influence your sexual awakening?

>>715119183
Either that or a switch 2 port of the previous builders. I can see them doing that.

>>715119667
You wouldn't be wrong thinking that. I'd be lying if I said the Metal Slug 3 machine at my local bowling alley didn't play a part in influencing in interests in multiple different ways

fatfags get the rope

>>715118240

>>715120234
Can see that outcome too
Like mentioned before, at least the remakes of 1 and 2 are coming up to keep us busy

>>715116840
Based picks. 3 is peak arcade perfection, 5 has the best flow and movement, and Advance is criminally underrated-it legit feels like its own weird timeline with all the unique sprites and new characters. Bonus points to X for being the "oops all recycled assets but still awesome" edition.

>>715121062

>>715120990
it'd snap

>>715121345
I wonder how people will like 1 and 2? 1 being a solo game is kind of neat in a way, as you only have yourself to depend on.

>>715100723 (OP)
Have you seen this yet?

>fuck yes! Metal Slug threa-

>>715125079
I'll be interesting to say the least
Not including 1 and 2 with the 3 remake is cetainly a choice. Unless they added lots of things to 1 and 2

Bready opened the floodgates and bless her for it
