You may not have noticed but cabs take up space, girlfriends/wifes usually don't want them in the house and they are a pain in the ass to move around.[/url]

Sorry to hear some people have shitty girlfriends/wives. Mine LOVES my Big Red 6 Slot cab, and plays Metal Slug on it all the time. She actually was happy to go with me to get it when I bought it, and helped me wrap it up to keep the rain off of it when we brought it home over 100 miles away when driving in the rain on the freeway. She was stoked to get it home and when I got it in the house, before I even had it in it's normal place, she plugged it in and sat down on a barstool and was like "Get that damn Metal Slug X in here, I wanna shoot some bad guys!" :D

Where do you find such mythical women?... In fact, if you change some words around your paragraph becomes pornographic. In all seriousness, that's awesome..you got a keeper

I am going to eventually get a CMVS once I get moved but, it will be built by James: Xian Xi. Huge fan of his work. :cool:

You won't be disappointed... his work is clean, durable and reliable.

the new video looks promising. I still don't feel the "farm stage", the others are nice though. And yeah, they need to improve on the music... but that shouldn't be an issue.

I'd be happier about a different (not so much MS style) setting, and please don't make another SHMUP after this... but whatever...

NOW LET ME RIDE THAT BEAR AND MUNCH ON SOME LANDSERS!

P.S.:
Release it for DC, let's play it and then see if it's worth the MVS tag price. Spending money blindfolded is for fanboys that don't play their games.

Holy shit you guys are fucking brutal.

The game does show a resemblance to Metal Slug. Can't deny that. But calling it a cheap looking flash game? Seriously? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Show me the damn flash game that looks like this, please.

They obviously put effort into the game.

It's a WW2 run and gun - there's GOING to be similarities to other games that took that same motif: Contra, Metal Slug, Ikari Warriors, Midnight Resistance.

These dudes seem to be getting better each time they release a game, yet you're ready to shit all over the game before you even play it. How jaded are you guys?

The people in this thread are fucking mental, there's no reason to even argue.

Now they're happy because NGDEV added some retarded, nonsensical mask aspect to the gameplay which, imo, fucks with the whole atmosphere of the game?

Lol, both you guys broad-brushing the entire thread in opposite directions.
-ud

I think he's agreeing with me.

It's not "broad-brushing" when I can quote almost entire pages of folks shitting on the game that they haven't played yet.

Ramad, you undoubtedly played Metal Slug before? come on man... it's obvious these guys want to take over from where MS left off. they just added a Demon Front aspect to it and that's it. effort? no doubt about it, they're putting in the work - but there's something disingenuous about the whole ordeal.
though I will say, these days I can't really care much - if it's fun and people like it then whatever. ya know?

I don't care for the masks either way... it's the other improvements that made me be less sceptical. Still won't buy it for Neo without trying it first though...

As I said, the resemblance is there.

However, I'm not writing the game off because there's tanks and soldiers in the game. The player character never gets into a tank. It looks to be a single player game. I didn't see multiple types of weaponry outside of his machine gun-looking weapon, and granades. They went with a more rendered look than hand drawn for all of the vehicles. I don't know much more about the play mechanics.

I just tend to not want to trash a game being made by a developer that has proven that they DO know how to make a game for a retro system, before getting to play it first.

my point: "resemblance" is the understatement of the decade. that's it, nothing else. someone will do a side by side some day, until then, yawn... zzzZZzzZZZZ

I just realized that you are literally saving chicks in this game. Not exactly what I expected haha.

There's also some really cool effects. Like when soldier are shot, helmets fly off, sometimes down cliffs independent of the rest of the sprite... grenades lift up snow in that winter level.

If you think that the MVS cart sticking out sideways so you can see the cart label that your playing looks "ghetto", however, plugging the cart on TOP of the unit so it requires a MILE of space ABOVE the console so that it does not fit in ANY entertainment center normally, does NOT look "ghetto", I would hate to see what else you think looks normal in your house.

As for not being able to play all NGDevTeam games on the Daedalus, where did you get that crap from? A unicorns ass? I have every game made from NGDevTeam, on both MVS and AES, some of them in multiples, and I tested them with a Daedalus, and also with my own Daedalus Prototype which I own 2 of, and ALL the games play PERFECTLY all the way through. Thank you very much for spawning false rumors without actually knowing what the fuck your talking about though. :P Next time, perhaps it would be better to actually know the facts, before spewing out false rumors.

The early proto Gunlord carts (before actual release date), were using similar style carts as the first run of Fast Striker 1.0, which indeed needed the MVS hardware. However, after David and I both contacted NGDevTeam and told them about it, and told them that their games needed to work with these converters for all future games so that everyone can play them, design and code changed slightly, and from that moment onward all the games worked fine with the Daedalus and the 2 Daedalus Protos that I own.

Anyone that sits there saying that the games do not work, before even TESTING them out, are just speculating on false rumors. Every Neo-Geo MVS game including the NGDevTeam carts work on the Daedalus, except Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Fast Striker 1.0, and the Last Hope "AES Classic Edition", (which has a few game resetting issues but was never actually meant for MVS to begin with), and Super Bubble Pop has a few very very minor sprite issues, otherwise the Daedalus is spot on accurate with everything else. My Daedalus Prototype 1.0 works perfectly with ALL carts including the Super Bubble Pop, and Last Hope Classic as well. The only carts it will not play are the CTHD and Fast Striker 1.0 Carts as well.

Timm concurred that the Fast Striker 1.0 carts were early design boards, and they would recommend everyone that wants Fast Striker and Pink Bullets, should buy the re-prints that are available now, due to them being able to accept the newest firmware updates that the old big style boards cannot update to. I myself own the old "Big Board" Fast Striker and Pink Bullets LE MVS carts, and aside from not being able to update Fast Striker beyond 1.5 and Pink Bullets beyond 1.1 FW, they still do work with the Daedalus, and Daedalus Prototype converters. I do want to trade them one day for the smaller board revisions due to them being able to credit feed via select button, otherwise they work fine as they are.

They should even work on the old Super MVS Converter II unless they made other changes to the boards. I actually send them my SMVS converter after the Fast Striker release (because it didn't work with it) for them to figure it out and make their games compatible.

I don't know how difficult it is to code for the Neo Geo, but I still think Metal Slug when I look at these screens and video. A lot of work has gone into it, but at the end of the day, Metal Slug is still available on the system.

The crazy people here are not the ones who shit on the game before playing it, but those who buy the overpriced game after a few screenshots and two trailers.

Given the fact that I have been happy with every previous mvs release so far (never bought pink bullets, and got gunlord after the fact), its not a major gamble. I bought the LE version for the soundtrack.. although now who knows what to expect in that department.

Well said. Also, I consider it an investment in a product from a team whose hard work on previous titles has brought me a lot of fun. Maybe I'm wrong and I'll get burned by this release, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. :p

If you aren't sold on it yet, don't preorder it. More power to you. It'll come out, you can watch videos and read player impressions and pick it up later on a reprint if you want it then. Or laugh at us idiots for buying a piece of shit, haha.

I think with the next trailer that they show is going to get people more interested. The music will be way better & more polished effects etc. This is their most involved game to date, the work from the first trailer to this one is a big improvement imo. The masks in addition to the added directional aiming & (lock aiming) and other grenade mechanics is going to make this game badass.

Let's watch the trailer #3 to get a better opinion about this game. It really looks like MS however with a poorest animation and music (early stage I know), and I am not a big fan at all of the animals in the middle of the fight and... it is a MS like... So, it could be good if you are doing the job...! Graph, animation, music, sounds, a lot of work to do... now the game looks like a genesis+ game... I will wait for the next trailer before pre-ordering...

I am really in doubt that this will end out as more than a collector's item. The masks aren't really a unique addon (me smells the shooties) and it looks poor, can't say how it plays. But it is hard being compared to metal slug.

Exactly, the Arcade Cabs are disappearing from Arcades constantly, and for the most part, are for sale CHEAPER than the CMVS's are normally. So, why again, should anyone get the CMVS's for MORE MONEY when they can get a full blown 6 Slot Neo-Geo Big Red cab new like I did for $400??


I feel like ive missed the boat for cheap cabs..all the cabs around me always seem to be listed for 1000-1500. So ive found that getting an Omega is overall far cheaper plus i dont have to worry about space and moving. Im renting at the moment so a cab just isnt feasible either. All depends on your place and if you get lucky with finding a good price on a cab. I imagine when arcades were closing and dumping their cabs you could find one for cheap. Sometimes people on classifieds are out to lunch on prices.

This game is definitely SUPER close to metal slug...it actually reminds me of Metal Slug 6 the most. If this game made any serious money i could definitely see Playmore suing these guys, i know i would.

That being said it does look pretty sweet but not $500 sweet. If they released a dreamcast version or Steam version id be all over it.
