DS #2466: Metal Slug 7 (Japan)

[gov78]

can someone tell me what u do when u get the bottem bar to max?

 

[jabjab]

perhaps just me but quite a bit of slowdown on ak2 straight off.

The Max bar at the bottom doubles the attack power when it's full that's all

I'm a HUGE fan of the Metal Slug series (been one since I was 8), but the outlook about this one isn't so good. It looks like it was made to be played in a larger screen than the DS, so everything appears shrunken, and you don't see as much detail. The slowdowns also tick me off a bit. I know Metal Slug is all about the gameplay, but the graphics were amazing, and I loved the pixel art style.
I'll just carry on playing; I hope it plays way better than it looks.

WTF i was expecting this about the end of this year.

Yes, in USA and EUR -.- ...

This feels alot like a metal slug, and is pretty fun. However, I really don't like the sprites as they don't seem proportional. This game is really hard to. It may just be because I suck at shooters, but it's just as hard as contra 4 imo.

For the slowdowns, SNK Playmore managed to get maximum power out of the DS - Kudos for that!

I love the Metal Slug series

Thats probably the reason why they couldn't make it multiplayer.

yeh 1 of 2 scenarios....

1) Yeh maxium power out of the DS (personally I don't think so)

2) Or they are shit coders.

Update your card's firmware.

EDIT: Works fine @ R4

Wow... the game feels empty and so badly rendered. NeoDs with Metal Slug render 10x times better than that (even with option "Scaled") !

 

[matw01]

thanks Thug4L1f3 it works now, didn't realise i was so far behind on firmware updates

 

[cosmiccow]

there are better games in the MS series. but this one is good too. and it's the only one that runs native on the DS

back to playing it now

 

[Doggy124]

Am I the only one who thinks this game isn't really good?

me too.

MS3 is more fun

 

[Rebellion]

It's great, but lack of multi kills me inside.

 

[martin88]

Works great on EZFlash IV. Pretty good.

Not bad.. it's Metal Slug alright.

But they could have used the DS capabilities better.. the graphics on Metal Slug running on NeoDS look better than this! And that's one of the worst uses of the touch screen I've ever seen.. why do you need a map on Metal Slug!?

Would be a lot better if they had used both screens like a big screen.. like on Contra4. Hell.. leaving the screen blank to save up some batteries would be a better use!
