Metal Slug the Movie

I thought this was gonna be about this 3 years old bullshit:

Who's going to play the bearded POW's that get freed?

Good question!

Plenty have people have access to play it now that it is in every virtual store on every console. I just don't see it picking up. I'm 27 and gamers my age that I know just don't care about the old school games anymore.

Experience the same, so sad

Need to get Uwe Bolle in to direct this then.

Really though, as much as I love MS (which is a lot) what is the point of picking this for a movie? Even Contra would have better brand recognition surely, I just don't see this happening.

That might be true, but usually they would just play it with the hand controller they got with their PS3, not a proper arcade stick. So it's not the same experience.
Maybe somebody should start some kind of project to get decent arcade sticks (with Sanwa/Seimitsu stick and buttons) to the masses, at a reasonable price. Nobody should have to put up with using a controller, if they're playing 2D/retro games. And retro gaming is getting to be more popular these days, although it's still a niche.

I'm not sure what kind of storyline you could get out of Metal Slug, but I do know I'd go see it opening weekend.

That kdrama site has never really reported anything accurate. So if it already wasn't obvious enough, I wouldn't buy it.

Right. If anyone actually read the article, they'd see that the only things being reported on are fanboy speculation. There aren't even any rumors, just people rattling off what ifs online.

 

[Metal Slug]

If it hasn't got Camel Slug in it, then I'm out!

morden's son dies
morden goes batshit, starts rebellion
marco and tarma are sent to quell the ever-growing rebellion
end fight with morden
morden sees error of his ways
the end

good, but still needs a cheap love story in there somewhere.

Just have one of the chicks, maybe Rumi, harboring a tentacle fetish and get it on with the Mars People.

Just had to make this...
