That's why I always said, what Metal Slug 1 is best Metal Slug. Most of things like this was in Metal Slug 2, but game engine wasn't able to handle all of this, so they cutted a lot of details. Hell, what about Waterfall in mission 1, where you could see rainbow at right angle?

[@soldierrebel6603]

Ah yes. I'm well aware of that Metal Slug 2/X have lots of unused graphics and beta elements and concept arts about NPCs and Items which could've made the game more detailed just like the first one was. Also, looks like I just forgot to mention about that rainbow from waterfall! Even tho it only appeared in 1P Ending, it's still a nice little detail.

[@GerMorden]

About boulder trap - same will happens, if Bull-Chan will fall on top of SV-001. Also, I don't know how to trigger that, but if you will die during fight with Tani Oh - after pressing "continue" you could get Rocket Launcher instead of Heavy Machine Gun. Allen O'Neil AI is one of the smartest AI I've ever seen. Also, funny to notice, how Morden bazooka has limited angle due shooting from right shoulder - he can't aim at left on aircrafts, instead of rocketeer soldier on HBR. Aaaaand thanks for making that video. I never noticed those UFOs there.

[@soldierrebel6603]

I found it happens on normal player when they're invincible. The funny thing is that rocketeer from HBR can't face the other way while in MS3 he can. Probably because this rocketeer was supposed to be only on that big barricade in Mission 5, not HBR. Mind you, that whole section from Mission 2 WAS NOT planned in early footage until they decided to change main character from SV-001 to Marco and Tarma.

[@GerMorden]

Played with a friend today in MS1. Noticed, what Allen ALWAYS attacks most dangerous player - who had more grenates and/or extra weapon. So if you picked up HMG before fight with him - prepare to evade a LOT.

[@soldierrebel6603]

Never noticed that! Looks like Nazca did put a lot of efforts just to make Allen's AI, didn't they?

[@jcdenton2187]

1 - - Chopper has a limited amount of fuel. - Chopper has like one hundred bombs stored inside. ... hmm....

[@The_D_ray]

And they say that the regular army is badly organised.

[@ratchanidaple]

why you have low fuel? well... we only add bomb and a little fuel inside

[@galacticheroman]

...Holy hell. The attention to detail is just amazing here. So much effort, put into a game that most people would just rush through to beat it. Kind of sad, really...

[@WEndro333]

Metal Slug 1 was made back when devs cared for detail and not money.

[@ratchanidaple]

but now they care about money

[@Sledgex3]

So, Rebel Soldiers can take the cannon in the gut twice in the row, while climbing on the Metal Slug. Yet they're dying from the pistol shots. I wish, that the early version of the game could be released as a prototype, which considering from the screenshots, the game was most likely finished before Marco and Tarma were added.

[@Shugaer]

I can't believe people still make videos on this game. Makes me so happy tbh but metal was a great childhood game and miss it a lot

[@soldierrebel6603]

It's a little dedication to those who spent all of their efforts on this game, mainly the original Metal Slug staffs from NAZCA (or formerly Irem)

[@TheAlison1456]

[Timestamps in See More] I finished this game with a friend today. It's truly quintessential. While playing I pointed out the sign interaction from 18:00. It's insane how great this game is. I didn't know there were different songs depending on whether you played as one or two players? Dang. Also, wow... that song is so pretty. I didn't know it had lyrics. This video is just beautiful. You can feel the exuberating love. 24:08 holy shit, is that (Early) Fio? 24:20 oh, my god. they actually painted the stages in watercolor before putting them into the game? wow... this is so beautiful I could cry. Timestamps: 01:10 - The helicopter backs away after ~9 in-game seconds 01:54 - The Yellow Soldier is capable of turning around 02:15 - The boulder in mission 1 can destroy the tank. 02:45 - Specific boss attacks hurt enemies. 03:50 - When soldiers fall very close to the screen, that's not a stage-specific animation. 05:10 - Enemies show up on screen in some places after standing still for ~14 in-game seconds. 09:51 - Snowball-rolling soldiers run slower in coop. 11:14 - The boss from the snow stage tries to dodge player projectiles. 12:23 - Prisoners can fall from trees in Mission 3. 13:01 - The mines from the boss of mission 3 can be deflected downwards. 14:28 - Mission details (interactable and/or dynamic). 20:15 - End. 20:52 - Series fanpage with more. 21:07 - 2P Ending song. 23:51 - Early Metal Slug 1 footage from the series' fanpage.

[@soldierrebel6603]

Totally agreed! One cannot simply produce this kind of beautiful piece around the 90s when creating a game can take more efforts and lifetime than nowadays. With 'Metal Slug: The Ultimate History' published by Bitmap Books, certificated by SNK Playmore last year, interviews from several original developers worked on MS1 to 3 made it clear that they poured more love to their own game than fans did! If you're interested in the overall history of Metal Slug, along with detailed info on developers, you may consider keeping the book of your own from Bitmap Books : www.bitmapbooks.co.uk/products/metal-slug-the-ultimate-history

[@ZapWires]

Great stuff, the building having bullet hole detail and the fly towards screen animation being a standard one blew me away.

[@ohman1247]

this is why metal slug 1 is like my 1st or second favorite of the franchise. In the og game you really felt like a Rambo, destroying everything in your path. The other games were harder and kinda deviated from that feeling. Doesn't mean they're bad tho. Metal slug gotta be one of the best series I've ever played

[@sparklyjuicejuice]

Its almost like with every game, Metal Slug progressively became more and more Japanese. until they fully embrace their Japanese game nature, and like most other companies *_decide to never release another good game._*

[@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்]

Actually, SNK has been brought by a Chinese Company

[@neptune4200]

We have metal slug waifus now

[@kauske]

It really was sad to see what had become of it with the fourth game, especially after what we got with three. I'd argue that three was the highpoint, at least in terms of length and total gameplay. 4 was a clear step down, and 5 was totally wasted potential. I would love to see what the dev's original vision for MS5 was, before it got booted out the door early.

[@PandareanWC3]

I wonder if did you Noticed in Mission 4 and 6 depending of what path you take certain Enemies will appear. Also it seems interesting that the Early POW Soldier actually joins you in Battle.

[@soldierrebel6603]

Of course I did. I thought it would be better to exclude that one since it's kinda easy to notice. and it is interesting indeed that there were allies fighting alongside with players. Here's what I've learned from Missing in Action about POW soldiers : Normally, they are coloured blue, but change colour when rescued - white for player 1, gold for player 2 - and assist the Slug. In this case, they roam alongside and automatically attack targets with grenades or knife attacks. Only two ally soldiers would be present at a time, but anymore you rescued would be kept as 'stock' on the bottom of the screen. When an ally dies, another soldier would enter the scene to replace them. Whatever stock you had at the end of the level would be added as bonus points.

[@PandareanWC3]

And i also noticed those POW Soldiers can control those Beta Turrets in the Tetsuki Battle. Why the Beta Versions look more interesting than the Final Game???

[@HappGamr]

Im a metal slug veteran and i never knew some of these things exist

[@diakdiak]

I LOVE IT THAT METAL SLUG IS STILL ALIVE

[@giorgio7388]

There are also a lot of references to ww2: -the tank always still: Tiger 1 -the other 2 main tanks: panzer IIIF and Panzer IVD -the 3° boss: sdkfz 232 8rad(cleeeearly inspired) -Karl and Shoe: panzer V Panther -The cannon on the background of karl and shoe boss scenery: the Paris Gun (ok this is ww1) Slug tank: Sherman (short gun) -Two scenery are set in Italy and London, and the last level resembles Normandy or Okinawa/Iwo Jima In the subsequently metal slugs, I can't find any historical references(except maybe the japanese tank in that special part in MS3). Also: You can find UFOs during the game, maybe History Channel was right about collaborations between Nazi and aliens :D

Yes I seen a UFO in Metal Slug 1 after you killed Allen O'neil . In Metal Slug 2 in stage 5 near on the railway where you can see a New York buildings. in Metal Slug X in stage 1 Desert where you came down with parachute and Metal Slug 3 on the seashore the UFO warping sometimes.

[@dylanvasquez3849]

5:46 Those bazooka soldiers are probably the ones who fall with parachutes from the sky, meaning the player stood there until they arrived and they were like "No enemies in sight? Let's go get 'em! Seriously though, it's amazing that enemies from later arrived to make the player move his lazy ass!

[@soldierrebel6603]

One of remarkable MS1 features is this _timed-spawning_ placed here and there in missions. While it indeed is an interesting feature, I bet devs thought it'd be wiser not to use it for their later games as they found out timed-spawning is likely to be ignored by most of players. Though in countermeasure wise against absent players, I think nothing can be more effective than timed-spawning to punish them just like you said haha.

[@JuanCampos-oq6mk]

That intro brought back so many memories

[@austinmoosenose5507]

There's a jump at the screen death at the building with the Danger! Barrel

[@darklagoon7]

1:43 never knew a soldier would spawn there. Too bad though that we can't see the score change... I think the spawn at 7:00 depends on how early u reach that spot. Btw in that area did u notice timer can reset if it goes below 20?

[@havel6060]

metal slug 1 is the only true metal slug game, every pixel metal slug after that is like a reskin, with engine update here and there, they keep reusing older sprites to the point where you can guess which part of the body cropped are from whom, especially the msa series, the 3d games doesnt do much to help the series but im glad the company still kicking, still havent touch any metal slug game since the first 8 games although i think i played the wrong version, which version is this? cause the one i played have slightly less destructible or detail, the chefs cant be interact with unless i never shoot at them and forgot, but the soldiers hanging onto the tank definitely new to me, back when i play it on an emulator, the soldiers were sort of just hanging onto it for a few second then jump away, didnt expect them to do these super cool animation also its fascinating that they have a different version of sv001, it look like the type r but slightly more red orange-ish, and a darker version of the vehicle too, and we never get to see them in action except for the begin of the final mission where they just zoom by, and the dead tanks laying around as you progress

[@havel6060]

oh yeah make me forgot metal slug originally gonna be played with tank only, that mean you wouldnt be playing as the 2 main characters but the sv001 only, much like the team's pervious game with the submarine. And alpha sv001 seems to fire lil bullets from the sv-fighter jet instead of the long projectile

[@soldierrebel6603]

I'm certain that the version you're referring to is no different than the one I used as a footage here. There technically are _lesser performance_ ones such as Sega Saturn and Neogeo CD ports but those still are the same in terms of background details and destructibles you can interact with. About SV001 saboteurs; should player constantly input any action commands, soldiers won't be able to do anything other than hang onto the tank. In order to let saboteurs do their stuffs, player has to stand still, which is unlikely to happen during casual playthrough as if a classic _Run'n'gun_ would ever encourage you to stop moving around and pressing shooting button in any circumstances.

[@soldierrebel6603]

Probabilities is extremely low with blown away death so you'll have to kill a hundred soldiers with only specific attack introduced in the video. ...tho I don't think it's worth of time doing so unless you really want to see them die like that.

You can't simply see them flying to the screen because it can only be triggered by specific attack (like I showcased in the footage) with very low possibility. Hell, I don't remember how many times I've killed the same soldier just to record them doing 'To da face' death!

[@reyanthonyflores]

@@soldierrebel6603 which platform did you played sir? is it Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD or Sega Saturn?

[@soldierrebel6603]

It has nothing to do with platform: you can see it no matter which platform, only if the game is generous enough to make soldier do the rare death without numerous tries. For me, It was 'Kawaks' I used when recording the footage, an emulator for PC you can easily get from the net.
