Can we please get a physical release

[@ishienowa]

Let this be a physical on the Nintendo Switch!!! 🤤

[@appropriatelyspartan2800]

This is straight up epic

[@realMBRKiNG]

I really hope there will be a coop mode. This game looks awesome a newgen metal slug❤

[@thedazedbandman]

Makes me think of inspector gadget as a mercenary--wicked concept & I love it! The music is amazing too-wishlisted!

[@brunorichardson97]

Please, don't ever let this project die. Knowing that Akio and Hiyamuta are working on this is the most insane thing a Metal Slug fan could ask for in his life.

[@shonanoishiguro]

Thank you for your kind words! Rest assured. Our project is making steady progress.

[@DJDanceClassic]

PLEASE FINISH THE GAME XYDONIA , GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND ASK FOR THE SOURCE CODE AND FINISH IT

[@andrewowens4421]

This is definitely a spiritual successor to Metal Slug, obviously. But it still does its own thing and has a distinct style. Very arcade feel to it. Can't wait to see how it pans out.

[@ShinKamaitachi]

I love it.

[@ArilMaven]

Loooks soooo good

[@koblongata]

Multiplayer please~!

[@fukaze2021]

​@@koblongataThere is two character confirmed in the game, and with how the ui was represented im sure there is 2p mode

[@ReaperSound]

Just read the game developer is an Ex Metal Slug dev so I'm hype

[@Jigglypoof]

That heavy machine gun pickup sound from the narrator.. perfection!

[@shonanoishiguro]

Thank you everyone for your various opinions on the video! We will move on to the next development phase while valuing everyone's opinions.🦜

[@reinhart.sieger]

Good luck with the game, I hope it will turn out great 😊

[@persefone5214]

plz give me a challenge already beat all known metal slugs with 1 life flawlessly >;D

[@BlackViperGX]

I wish you the best, the only thing I notice is that it is kinda slow in the movement I think it needs a small speed up. But keep up the good work.

[@gamer590x]

Me preguntó si el equipo de desarrollo es el mismo que creo metal slug de la vieja snk corporation 😮

[@ZeroGaiaForce]

@@gamer590x La mayoría trabajó en la época dorada, del MS 1 al 3; los mejores 🔥

[@fregulang0]

I'll admit I usually have some doubts about mixing 2D pixel art and 3D, but I'll trust the vision. Watching this project with great interest. Good luck team!

[@aortaplatinum]

Right? I can't stand those ugly ass clashing HD2D games Squeenix has been shitting out over the past few years but this is gorgeous. Reminds me of some PS1 or Saturn games that did the same thing- primarily 2D but with 3D elements

[@anguset]

@fregulang0 Dunno what you mean, I can think of more good examples of sprites on 3d BGs than bad ones. Say Klonoa, or Tomba

[@meyers0781]

Metal Slug 7, the last real Metal Slug game, has 3D prerendered image as a background though...

[@KALANGODEPAREDE3D]

Better than the new ms

[@fregulang0]

It's about mixing high and low res 2D and 3D in general. I think low res, "retro" sprites look out of place on high res 3D backgrounds most of the time, same as high res 2D elements and post processing on top of low res sprites or vice versa. For example, the lightning effect at 1:31 in this video looks odd overlaid on top of Jet to me. The game in general looks good though, and I care a lot more that it's fun. (On MS7, I didn't really like the backgrounds. I think the detailed pixel art of the older games looks leagues better.)

[@ZeroGaiaForce]

One thing that was great about the first MSs, is that there were moments in which you do not have to fight, but just look at npcs talking or enjoy the stage, birds flying or interesting things that not always had to do with the progression of the game. Those moments also made MS great and enjoyable. Attention to detail, funny moments, and hidden animations. I really loved that 💖✨

[@EggmanlandResident]

Pretty cool. This looks like Metal Slug but you play as a cool version of Inspector Gadget.

[@ppsono5164]

敵キャラもふらふらしてるジェットも結構かわいい

[@LunarAntic]

Love the Akio Oyabu art style

[@arnoldbroccoli4791]

I love Metal Slug and this game looks awesome! I look forward to seeing more of it in the future. I will definitely put this on my wishlist.

[@shonanoishiguro]

Thanks so much!😍

[@trappercap]

A few points of critique. It should be possible to balance "bright flashing bullets" with "screen readability". > Since it's going for the HD-2D look, maybe do dropshadows and lighting effects whenever the handgun is fired, adjustable according to each level? The gun should at least flash when the button is pressed, not necessarily when the bullet hits a (soft) target. If the enemy is hard though, there should be a glowing effect. It seems like this was implemented well with the enemies, though. > During heavy explosions and smoke, allow a silhouette of the character to appear for readability. > Walk cycle sprites should remain separated from shooting body parts, like MS. Landing transition looks a little off, lacks turn-around sprites. > Speaking of walk cycle, the player sprite lacks a natural bobbing motion when moving. > Hitstop/slowdown when destroying large objects/mecha? > Defined foreground elements might be necessary due to the nature of 3D. > Hitflash should be a brighter color. > Missing screen shake for large explosions. > Bullet speed seems a little too fast...? > Need to see more in terms of enemy ambushes. Also, I want to see more creative death animations like MS3. This is actually completely optional, but some of you know how necessary this element actually is.

[@ZeroGaiaForce]

Damn, bro. Good points! ❤‍🔥

[@Kooma4Yew1600]

*couch* yeah, what they said...

[@jackstack2136]

Why is it always nobodies with no internet presence and anime profile pics trying to tell game devs how to gamedev...lmao like bro who even are you?

[@nicodalusong149]

​@@jackstack2136A fan maybe. Someone wishing this project well and giving helpful feedback the devs can work with maybe. His comment was given a heart, so I guess they liked his feedback.

[@conta-fake6723]

​@jackstack2136 In this case, it feels more like constructive criticism

[@cherrycheetos]

i'm loving the mix of 2D ad 3D, it reminds me of a very specific moment in the arcade industry, like when some fighting games had 2D player sprites in a 3D stage, very nostalgic!

[@canadianturtle7240]

Capcom did this with Strider on the PS1. It was beautiful. Same with games like Grandia on PS1.

[@wizards-themagicalconcert5048]

​@@canadianturtle7240 Great examples ! I also feel the 3D elements should not be in that high res and more on the lower side,as same as the games you mentioned ! Xenogears or Wild Arms 2 are other good examples ! Low poly colorful 3D with 2D sprites looks awesome ! Add some nice CRT filter to it and we are good to go !

[@thrillhouse_vanhouten]

Forget Metal Slug 8, THIS is what fans of the series REALLY need

[@fenomozo9108]

I really love the 2d and 3d mixing. Such a cool style.

[@Tiosh]

I constantly keep coming back to Metal Slug. This is definitely one I'll keep coming back to as well.

[@caioapgs]

Really excited for this, been wishing for a new Metal Slug game for a while, hope you guys deliver on the hype, but I know you will!!❤

[@Caiothewwe4]

I'm loving the art style and music, it feels very nostalgic. I can't wait to see more of it in the future.

[@proquo-s]

The art direction is amazing, you guys have a clear and distinct vision. I feel a huge appreciation for 90s action anime in the scenes shared. I'm hoping for some co-op options whether local or online. There were already critiques and suggestions on the game's graphics and I hope those are taken seriously, lighting will really make or break audience's attention spans while viewing. One final suggestion I have is for bosses weaknesses being represented (or highlighted) in some way throughout fights. In the trailer I couldn't always tell where the player should focus their fire since the enemy is further in the background. The jumping animation has a nice "float-like" feel to it, but with how fast-paced the game appears I do wonder if it needs further refinement. All in all this project is what people have been begging for, for years! I wish your team the best of luck!

[@fenomozo9108]

The style of this game is out of this world. I´m sold already!!

[@oxzzz100]

Supongo que este proyecto sería lo que yo esperaba que fuese un metal slug 8. Honestamente creo que deberíamos apoyar a ese señor que dejó marca en muchos de nosotros.

[@samus-rd1channel]

Finally a real Metal Slug Game!

[@shibumi8]

Awesome! It’s like you took Metal Slug and injected it with Inspector Gadget, Kamen Rider and 007 with a dash of Noir and Big O for flavor. Honestly you had me the moment it gave the weapon announcement sound effect and when the giant robot gorilla appeared. Whenever this comes out consider it already bought.

[@jazzratoon]

Also Akio Oyabu is involved with this project.

[@chilledoutcat1571]

Absolutely stunning work. It looks amazing to play and just looks gorgeous. The sprites work well with the 3d backgrounds and fit right in

[@grimsonenderson8402]

The love of my childhood gifted to me as an adult again, thank you

[@jazzratoon]

The fact the same artist Akio Oyabu, who artist behind the OG Metal Slug series is working on this, makes this a banger!

[@AndresVilla98]

Don't forget the local coop, this looks epic !!!

[@aryudsoh]

Definitely. Will be incomplete without it.

[@GorilaDNS]

Looks incredible for an Alpha gameplay, keep up with this beatfiful work

[@realvaporcry]

This make me go back into my childhood again! What an awesome project. I just hope you make the scenarios more cartoonish like instead of realistic, something that matches the energy of the characters

[@mattduncan3869]

I'm sold, this looks like so much fun

[@AllThrows]

This looks sick. The more realistic explosions add real weight to the gameplay. It would totally be worthy of being an actual Metal Slug sequel.

[@juli8952]

Having the team of professionals from games like GunForce II and In the Hunt this game will be a marvel 👍🥇

METAL SLUG-LIKE

[@massimilianofavalli398]

Excellent video, a truly inspired title both artistically and on the gameplay side (while borrowing the style of Metal Slug), so I am absolutely confident in this title. I'll just make a couple of criticisms which I hope are constructive. At 0:24 the smoke from the explosion appears which completely hides the character, furthermore every time the character jumps the camera moves and both of the things I mentioned can "hide" the actions of the enemies and a "skill based" title like in a run 'n' gun it is essential that the game action is always totally visible. For the rest, I sincerely hope that there will be a two-player mode (with the possibility of entering a game already started like in Metal Slug), the death continues like in Metal Slug and the publication on preferably all the consoles present and also in Arcade via Exa -Arcadia (or Arcade platforms in general) given that there is a strong lack of run'n'guns in current arcades. I know I've written a lot, but it's the kind of game I've been waiting for for years and I want the best.

[@shonanoishiguro]

Thank you for your supportive comments. Of course, our team is aware of the various issues with the alpha version, and we are now in the phase where we will address those issues. We value the requests we receive from everyone when creating the game, so it's a great honor to receive so many of your thoughts. thanks so much!
