@@peaceka there are two Metal Slug games currently under development, one for mobiles the other for consoles. they have already showed a trailer for the mobile one which they named Metal Slug Code J.

"But Marco and his friends faught well. With their combat experience, and waverying resolve, and the power of infinite continues they destroyed the hellish machine."
"Impossible mission" as the characters are being lowered down on a wire. I see what you did there. It makes me happy to know that the Mars People aren't just generic evil aliens. I think they're cute.
Remember when adult soldiers have ptsd and needed therapy? Nowadays in today's media it's the kids and teens having ptsd and needed much therapy nevermind if they have superpowers or great skills.
I always liked how the Doctor of Ahmedeus in MS4 shows up in all of the previous games (as well as 6) seemingly recruiting people from around the world, as if to foreshadow future events in the series.
Good video. Anothers references: ''Metal Slug 6'' have many homages to ''Space Invaders'' (Taito) and ''Contra'' (Konami). The boss Iron Sentinel is a cannon tank anti-air like the Blaster and the new aliens is ''Invaders''. The last invaders boss is based in ''Aliens'' e ''Contra'' s bosses. Ralf and Clark fighting against aliens in ''Ikari Warriors 2 - Victory Road'':Because this, the duo is transformed in living legends and expert in ''space invasions''. ''Metal Slug 4'' make homage to many movies, like ''Terminator''. Like the ''Allen android'' or the final boss robots like the ''Lost in the Space''s robot.
I remember when Ralf in one of his victory quite in KOF14 mentioning that he can destroy a tank with his punches. Now I know what he means thanks to you!
@@MechaG I know, but given that's one game out of so many I think it's still due for another crossover appearance, especially since verse is already hinting at much larger crossovers.
@@marche800 And why not putting more KOF characters in new Metal Slug games. Imagine Mai's fire and hand stuff against the rebels? Or Iori's purple fire?
Your presentation about this metal slug lore is really something you manage to explain all the mission one by one and even the alt route of the mission, i am so impress by you keep it up!! Also What if all metal slug games was recreated in FPS triple A game, just my thought.

"They also heard that the two men often times participated in unusual fighting competitions, but those are probably just rumors!" Yep! Totally just rumors! Nothing to see here, folks!
11:55 I remember when Shoryu pulled this in the "Story of Rugal" video. He was like, "And Rugal realized that the power of friendship is stronger than any other. He worked with Team Japan and they lived happily ever after. *LIKE HELL HE DID!* " I laughed for days.
Wealthy People discontented by the Regular Government? That could Explain why Morden got a huge supply of people. They maybe all discontents from the government.
In case no one had noticed, the Invaders were formally known as Venusians, alien from the planet Venus and predators to the Marspeople, and the Invader King was formally known as the Venusian Queen. It's odd that they changed the names of the predators to the Marspeople and the gender of the final boss of Metal Slug 6.
To be honest,Marco and Fio is more suitable for the mission of finding the cure of the virus,because Marco is a top tier hacker him self.Just look at him opening the last door of Rootmars without kicking at it or wiping off sweat from his forehead.
Yeah,if Marco and Fio can hack through an extraterrestrial computer that neither of them knows how it works,then they should've been the ones who find a cure for the virus. If Marco and Fio were chosen tho,MS4 will only have 2 stages instead of 6
This is something I didn't know I needed until I got it, Metal Slug was one of my favorite games growing up definitely need to replay it again after this!
In KOF Maximum Impact 2, one of Ralf's alternative costumes is based on Marco. Also in KOF MI2, Fio is playable and she has a nice backstory. It explains why she became a soldier and how she met Heidern's mercenary group.
Man you don't know how much I was excited to for part 2 I hope part 3 is coming soon cause this video is awesome and I love your way of explaining the story keep it up man.
These games, especially MS3, make me so nostalgic. Between seeing them on arcade cabinets at restaurants as a kid and playing them on a passed around ROM in high school, just glimpsing them brings back all kinds of memories
I was expecting a nice tie in to everything this episode. Nope! Just two games! As a longtime fan of Metal Slug, I never knew it was so deep in lore. I’ll be waiting for part 3 now :3
Y, you earned the sub by making me remember something I used to adore and completely forgot about. So thanks, and thanks for also making it an entertaining watch~! :)
@@VilaToro64 Inner Goldfield is an amazing track. Asian Impact was great too. I loved so many tracks on that ost. Critical Maneuver, Biotoxic, Cliff and Cave, Bridge 256... etc lol
well the only thing missing is some of the cartoony sounding stuff from Metal Slug 1-3... I'm glad 6 steered away from the rock stuff as I feel it didn't quite fit the tone. not bad, just not right for Metal Slug. 3rd stage from Metal Slug 2/X is a perfect example of semi serious but kinda goofy too. 6 mostly got it right, but it's more atmospheric than other Metal Slugs
@@zerobeat032 Honestly I feel the opposite for metal slug 5's ost, I feel it's really fitting to go with a rock hard badass tone for a rung n gun with thoughtless slaughtering fun

A new Metal Slug part got released: Marco and Tarma: Ah shit, here we go again :| P/s: Tarma is not in Part 4 character selection but he came with Eri for searching an antivirus for erase the “White Baby” computer virus
Poor Marco. He just wants to retire and get out of the military but keeps getting extended and dragged into these messes. In the meantime, Trevor retires before Marco...
I feel worse for Marco the more the series continues. He's gonna be an old man and the Regular Army will still go, "You can't retire, what if we still need you?"
Hoo boy, I miss Nadia and Trevor's appearance in Metal Slug games I hope the future series will have them as playables, whether it's the main games or not

"Give me ALL the heel turns!"
Just like real life

Yeah that makes sense
Alright thats cool!

Swear. You spending bout 30 dollars in the game room

Man, I’m surprised none of them have ptsd by now
And they didn't even need therapy, Unlike some heroic kids and teens from ages 10-16.
Remember when adult soldiers have ptsd and needed therapy? Nowadays in today's media it's the kids and teens having ptsd and needed much therapy nevermind if they have superpowers or great skills.
Solid Snape that’s mostly due to negligence of mental health and lack of actual good parenting
Makoto Yuki i agree
xd lol!! even I who never joined the military; have ptsd cause of reasons.
I love how little the artstyle changes between games, like they already started off with perfection and didn't need to improve any more from there.
