This week, Mike and James take a look at the first NEO-GEO CD game they've played in the "James and Mike Plays" series. This week, it is Metal Slug!
An arcade favorite for many gamers, it is a very simple concept, but simple doesn't necessarily mean boring! You take the control of Cpt. Marco Rossi and Lt. Tarma Roving of the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force. You are there to stop the infamous General Morden, who has initiated a coup d'etat taking place against all the world's governments. His most recent attack has given him access to a new, powerful all-terrain combat tank dubbed the "Metal Slug."
The game was released in 1996 and developed by Nazca Corporation, and published by SNK. The game, having been originally released on the "Neo Geo MVS arcade platform", made its home debut on the NEO-GEO, and soon after on the NEO-GEO CD.
With the use of the arcade stick on the NEO-GEO systems, it translated very well into the home video-game market. Having an authentic feeling really DOES make the game feel a lot better. In fact, it was so popular, it got ported to many different consoles, including the Sega Saturn, Playstation, and many other online services, such as the Virtual Console and Playstation Network.

On a Neo-Geo CD console, if you press a+b+c+d+start simultaneously the system soft resets. This reset can also occur when the plugs on the controller is worn & some of the solder joints are broken. Grounding out pin 5 or pin 6 (I don't remember exactly, I know its the one that carries the +5 volt signal) will make it reset as well. Perhaps have someone take a look at the plugs on your Neo sticks.

pressing up,up,dn,dn,left,right,left,right sets the code, pressing ANY button other than start (1p) or select (2p) at this point resets the code, you also can input the code slowly but you must press start in the main screen or else the demo will play, even if you do it slowly and the demo has begun playing just press start to go back and start the game, as long as you dont press any other button the code is kept

The Big Ben clock tower is just the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament. Everyone just calls is Big Ben anyway. Other aspects of that level look to have some interesting London-related elements too. Like all the shops as part of the bridge. During Medieval times, London Bridge was completely covered in shops and houses, just like a normal street. So they weren't underneath it like in this game, they were on top.

If you played the AES (Cartridge system), the games give you 4 credits. Fun fact: The Neo CD, is notorious for slow loading times. SNK then released the CDZ, which was faster, but had a tendency to heat up quickly. All consoles required a memory card, if you wanted to save data. ...and I have a friend who owns all Neo-Geo home systems, as well as an MVS arcade system.

@MrDebauch 10 жыл бұрын

fun fact, fighting games are rough to play on it.. some are worse than others with the loading.... but space shooters and metal slug type games are alright since there aren't many load screens.. magician lord doesn't load almost at all except at the start for example.. but you play samurai showdown.... I think in one match you got 3 loading screens that are like 40 seconds long each. the cdz isn't much faster, it's only a bit better.. a game might be 30 seconds instead of 45 or something negligible like that. Also the neo geo cd doesn't require a memory card.. there is no slot for one at all.. the mvs and aes has that though.

@hathorliderc 10 жыл бұрын

MrDebauch Shit, you're right about the memory card. Touche, my friend.

Ah, Metal Slug. One of the most addicting arcade shooters I've played. I used to play the hell outta this game when I was younger. I'd usually go through about $5 worth of quarters on the machine in Cici's Pizza. But then the place closed down, meaning no more scrumptious pizza buffets and no more Metal Slug. A few years later, I get Metal Slug Anthology on PS2. OH. MY. GOD. The original game was available, in all its glory, with infinite continues, meaning no pay-to-play crud. AND there were six others I never heard of. 1. Played in arcade prior to Collection. 2. Never heard of it. X (Remake of 2): Played it at an Albertson's one day. 3. Demo at Best Buy. Personal favorite now. 4. Never heard of it. 5. Never heard of it. 6. Never heard of it. I recently got 7 on my DS. As fun as ever, and with some futuristic enemies. There are a few I haven't checked out, though...

This game is in the SNK Greatest Hits for the PS2. SNK always made some great games, but most of their games were overlooked by either a Capcom or Street Fighter game. Another great 2-op games that they (SNK) made was Ikari Warriors. That was the game to play before Contra made it into the arcades. Metal Slugs reminds me alot of Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis--another underrated run -and-gun game from back-in-the-day.

@AKAProm 10 жыл бұрын

the reason why a bunch of SNK games were overlooked is because SNK made consoles but they were very pricey because they were basically home arcades, and on top of the console price people had to buy the games. Nintendo, Sega, Atari were already big names so people didn't really buy NeoGeo and just bought the bigger named consoles.

@goodguyty 10 жыл бұрын

Some Arcades actually had the Neo Geo Machines, that features about 10 games that were available for the console at the time. The reason why the games were so expensive are because the cartridges were basically the same components that were in the actual machine. Great Games, but yes too expensive for the average gamer to buy for their own. About 20 years after the Neo Geo, I was lucky to come across the same games for the PS2 for $10.00. LOL!!

Its funny to see how north america in general is not familiar with SNK games. Here in Brazil, SNK had their own office/localization team (just like Capcom), and we were spammed by a LOT of arcade machines featuring all King of Fighters, Metal Slugs, Art of Fighting, Double Dragon games at the same time they were released in Japan. So, its kinda strange to see you guys comparing the game with Contra so much, since in most parts of the world (pretty much south america and asia in general), we were more exposed to SNK games than Nintendo 8bits ones.

***** I dont know how is the "scene" today. Nowadays you only see arcades on malls and on a few hidden places. Also, most people who used to play in the 90's and early '00 stopped playing on KOF 2002. Some still uses Winkawaks emulator, since it uses the GGPO netcode for multiplayer. Its a shame that SNK became a small company today, I'd like to see a big KOF game made like SF4, but its comprehensive that this probably not gonna happen.

Actually the Neo Geo CD sold so incredibly poorly that the console and it's game are incredibly cheap. It's a nice alternative to collecting for the original AES, especially considering how ridiculous the prices for the games are. The unfortunate trade off is extremely long loading times

I'm so glad you guys played this game! When I was a kid I bought as many gaming magazines as I could and I remember being so facinated with the Neo Geo and Neo Geo CD, and Metal Slug was the main game that caught my eye. I thought it looked amazing and gave me that giddy feeling that only a child can get from seeing a game he wants to play but knows isn't likely to be able to. I remember looking in the back of one of the magazines where it showed several consoles with their prices listed next to them and the Neo Geo I think went for $700 or so. I love these episodes guys, can't wait to see you play Contra with no code. I do believe you will succeed, though.
