Arcade cabinet remakes and re-releases are all the rage these days. The success of Arcade 1UP is a testament to that. And while we've seen mini versions of classic systems and games, like the NeoGeo Mini, what's being announced today from SNK is a big upgrade.
The latest and greatest in run-n-gun gaming is now available to Xbox One users. By latest, I mean that the game has been out since 1999, and by greatest, well... it is pretty fantastic. Get your machine guns out and your calves stretched, cause as of this writing, a cool eight bucks can buy you Metal Slug X.
Shootin' time! SNK Playmore and DotEmu recently released a solid port of Metal Slug X on Steam. The enhanced remake (which is itself an enhanced remake of Metal Slug 2) features all the metal and all the slug from the original, plus a ton of handy graphical tweaks as well as online co-op for two players!
Yesterday, SNK Playmore announced that the infamous Metal Slug X is headed to Steam on October 2nd. A sort of enhanced remake of Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X came to iOS and Android earlier last year. Now, PC enthusiasts with a soft spot for tough-as-nails side scrolling shoot'em'ups can revel in glorious, pixelated action as well.
A sort-of-new release in the classic arcade realm, Metal Slug X is a remake of Metal Slug 2 that has been reworked for iPhone, Android and iPad devices. The game, which marks the fourth mobile Metal Slug release, features tweaked controls for the touch screen as well as altered enemy positions and maps, making it a much different experience than the game it's based on. It's also just one letter away from Metal Slug XX, which is totally not confusing at all.
