I've played 2 or 3 of the Shante games and I have enjoyed them. But that said, they are completely unmemorable. I couldn't even tell you which ones I've played. They're good, but they're not good enough to play through a second time. So, I'd keep trying to hold off on a deeper sale.

After reading a wiki I realised the only Metal slug games I played was the OG and Metal Slug X.

Metal Slug 2 is doing some incredibly crowd pleasing stuff.

There's a level where you enter a Tomb and fight mummies. You've got round bellied enemies that rip apart and explode. You go into a sewer and Resident Evil style monsters drop from the ceiling.

There's this gatling gun mini boss who falls into the water and a giant Orca rises up and eats him.

There's an epic Hong Kong and New York level. The games art is amazing, I can't even think of a modern pixel art game on the same level. Your character literally flings away weapons when you run out of ammo.

I can see myself buying all of these games.

It's such a shame that the slowdown tars the experience.

Wayforward never reduce their games beyond a certain level, I'm been watching for years.

I have the Metal Slug collection for Wii. I believe it had every game in the series. It's a cool collection with one flaw: No Wii Pro controller support.
