DS #2466: Metal Slug 7 (Japan)

"I still play Metal slug 3 on my DS every once in awhile"
o.O how

 

[SABERinBLUE]

Having trouble getting this to work on Supercard SD. Every time I run the patcher, no matter what options I select or whether it's a patched or unpatched rom, it outputs a nds.dsq file with 0 bytes.

Damn, I just love it when the hostage guys say "thank you"

..
It sounds funny

..
And the rockets with wheels on it are great too

!

Does anybody knows how many missions there are in this game?

using NeoDS, a neogeo emulator for the DS

This feels like a lazy game.

I wish the sprites were bigger. the whole time it feels scaled. They could have added a zoom function. Not much detail here. Also, the levels are bland and lack OHSHI- Moments.


If you want real Metal Slug action, play Metal Slug 3 via NeoDS.

I was never really into the MG series, so I will be passing on this one. Thanks for asking, though.

i see theres MS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, X all on neo geo, does all of them work at 100% speed? i will disable sound if needed

I played 3 and 5, and everything's great.

The DS doesn't slow down or anything, so it should be fine. I never had any slowdowns, lags or errors in the game.

You need to use the new software its v2.68 works fine with the hacked rom,(although i hacked the rom myself)
new version is available here under gbatemp and scene news

ok, i havent found anything in the thread, so:

has anyone the same problems with the rom, when using DS-X?
i arm7fixed it,
but it doesnt work
and i also tried 2 different sources

it starts,
but then comes some japanese text.


does anyone with an DS-X got this working?

The DS-X won't run it, more specifically it cant create a save file.
I un-packed and re-named the files to US since i figured the jap error message would enlighten me as to what the problem is...
Considering the same issue arose with "The World Ends with You" i assume all we need is a save file.

PLEASE...
On behalf of the (literally shafted) DS-X community i implore anyone with an R4, M3 or similar, to create a fresh save file at the first possible save point and upload it. I can only assume this works and if it does, this thread may save a lot of DS-X users further grief.

If upped i will confirm whether or not this is a fix.

Cheers!

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it's very short. Of course, it's definitely modeled after old arcade shooters / beat`em-ups, so it works for me. The "Easy" mode was a good difficulty for me; I can't imagine what "Normal" and "Hard" are like. Either way, it's great, silly fun. Love the look of the game, too, and I normally don't go in for fully 2D games anymore, but this one is very entertaining to watch.

Only gripes: you can't seem to jump down off ledges / platforms (which I mentioned in a previous post), and the bottom screen seems pretty useless. I looked down there a couple of times, moved my stylus (out of curiosity) around on the screen, and then realized, "oh, they couldn't come up with anything other than an extemporaneous use of the touchscreen." I don't know why they didn't at least put all the hub info down there. But those are small complaints. The game is fun as heck, and it's now got me interested in going back to check out the other games in the series, as mentioned by others. This one, though, is gonna stay on my card for a while.

BTW, not sure if it's been mentioned (there are so many responses to this topic), but can someone recommend a good emulator for playing some of the older games on my DS?

Why doesn't this have Multiplayer?

yes, it has been mentioned

long time ago, i played th last MS title.
why did you prefer MS3 and not an other title, is MS3 the best MS?

 

[Greymatter]

I love this game!

In Metal Slug 6, each character had a special ability:

Macro - Hand Gun is more powerful.
Tarma - More powerful with Metal Slug vehicles.
Eri - Holds 20 grenades instead of 10.
Fio - Holds a Heavy Machine gun with standard 200 bullets.
Ralph - Can be hit 2 times before dying but hold less ammo for extra weapons obtained.
Clark - Forgotten ^^'

In Metal Slug 7, they retain these abilities.


Also on easy mode, you get to always use the Heavy Machine gun with unlimited ammo (just like in Metal Slug 6).

[06:42] hold L and press Up+Y when you're close to an enemy.

[06:42] thats special move with each guy^

[06:42] one does back breaker

[06:42] one does vulcan punch

[06:42] forget teh others

Special moves are go!

Theres also this out for people too lazy to hack themselves: Metal_Slug_7_LANGUAGE_SELECTOR_NDS-SQUiRE

 

[Hadrian]

Its not as good as the other games really, not even MS6. I guess it is quite hard for them to do anything new with the series but as a retread it does most things well.

It's a good blast, though very short.

I think they should have done Metal Slug 3rd Mission instead for the DS, which was kinda Castleroidy in a way but more linear.

If this would work, it would be cool,

but it would also suck so hard!! ^^

i mean, then i always have to wait, till someone uploads a savegame -.-

but hey, at least i dont have to buy a new flashcard ^^

so:
can someone upload a savegame pls?!

 

[Chosen_One]

[Bergunzo]
