The Nintendo seal of quality symbol :to:

Lol at "2 can play together" because that really was a big deal. Ikari warriors 2 was good too. PT.3, not so much :francis:

I never played Ikari Warriors 3... what didn't you like about it?

I love the visuals and sound effects on metal slug.

Semi off topic but anyone ever notice the sound effects on Jah world by wu tang sounds very similar to gun cocks on metal slug ? I used to think rza sampled metal slug until I saw the movie scene he sampled and they are just part of the movie.

Contra is a classic. Paved the way.

But as a SERIES? Metal Slug.
I don't know, I feel like contra hasn't been topped. Yes, metal slug looks better. That's not the question tho and nobody has mentioned the later contra games like contra 3 which was also dope in its own way

By all means, Contra is great. The games have always brought something new every single time(Metal Slug hasn't done this enough). Pioneering series.

I think it's more of a personal preference for me. I enjoy the art style and the gameplay a little more when it comes to Metal Slug.

Contra was always the goto since that's all we had growing up, but Metal Slug was the game the rich kid down the street had. Always wanted to own that shyt.

now super contra is a different story.
