  I’ve said a lot of this before about various other ACA NEOGEO releases, and this perhaps collects many of those points. Better than the previous version? Absolutely. Good game? Friend, it’s so great. Well-suited to mobile? Probably not, especially if you’re using touch controls. Worth picking up anyway? Yes, I think so. It’s feature-rich, gives you all the margin for error you could ask for, and is affordable to boot. A solid pick for fans of arcade classics.

  You might assume that Metal Slug's numerous sequels would be far superior to the original but that isn't the case; while the other outings in this series add their fair share of neat features, the 1996 original has a simple purity to it which makes it feel more focused and less preoccupied with pushing the hardware (and the imagination of the developers) to the limit.

  Metal Slug's speed, challenge, and overall fun, as well as the marvellously crafted cartoony visuals that come along with it, have not lost their charm after all these years. Sure, this is not as "complex" as the next in line, but it's still enjoyable and highly recommended for all retro-loving Switch owners.

  ○ やはり必見なのは、描き込み過ぎともいわれる2Dドット絵！背景からキャラアクションの完成度が神！ ○ 難易度は激ムズだが、しっかりパターンもあって攻略できる！無茶ではあるが無理ではない絶妙さ！ ○ 映画のパロディなどを含めた展開！テキストはなく見せ方だけで語るストーリーに惹き込まれる！ △ 所見殺しだらけなので、いわゆる死に覚えゲー。アクションが苦手な人が絶望するレベル。
