But if you get them on VC, you'll probably just need to get 1, X, and 3. It's neat to have the others, but they're not worth buying seperately (by that I mean 2 and 4-6).

How come? I thought every game is more of the same actionfest, just new levels.

4-6 are considered the weakest of the Metal Slugs. Metal Slug 2 is good, but has nasty slowdown which X fixes.

I also recommend getting Metal Slug Anthology. Especially since you have access to all the Metal Slugs & this has 60hz support. The GCN works fine for this, although I found the joy pad a bit iffy. Also I personally don't really like the other control methods, because of the forced motion controls.

Actually Metal Slug 5 really stands out to me. Great action, new enemies(other than Morden's soldiers) and some awesome hard rock tunes. By far Metal Slug 3 is still my favorite. Its a shame its not on the VC.

I wasn't too found of Metal Slug 5 for some reason. For me the spark from the other Metal Slug titles just wasn't there. The new slugs were kinda cool though.

I hope SNK puts up Metal Slug X,3 & 4 sometime. They are good to own on Anthology, but for some reason I want to play the AES versions and also have CC support.

Metal Slug 4 & 5 have some of the best music of the series. I'd like for ALL of them to be on VC in the future. And speaking of Metal Slug...



This is going to be the next Neo Geo game on Virtual Console.
