Buy the ACA ports individually on PS4/Xbox One/Switch. If you are going to just buy one of the Metal Slugs buy 3, easily the best in the series.

So basically buy them individually for PS4 is my best option, is that right?
i cant get behind X, it just feels like a wacky remix version of 2 with no cohesiveness
if it was just straight up 2 with lag reduction maybe. but even then i kind of think the lag of metal slug 2 is kinda charming
apparently buying the PS4 versions individually is your best bet.
I'm not sure which version is better Switch ACA metal slug 3 or the PS4 Solo Metal slug 3 <--- this one was done by a different company.

Doesn't the Xbox version restart the stage when you continue? That's not so great when the final stage is longer than the entire rest of the game.both MS3 on PS4 and Switch runs on emu I think so they got tons of slow down just like on the original hardware. Best version of MS3 is still OG xbox 1 version with zero slow down, rumble, extras etc. Hope it will be one of the games on BC once they start rolling out OG xbox games.
Vita anthology has no slowdown or input lag. Trust me, I own way too many copies of these games for many different platforms including the carts, themselves. I've felt the pain of bad ports (including the PS2 port) many many times over the years.
The anthology when played on a Vita has very minimal load times, no lag and scales pretty well on the handheld. No, the load times were not there on the original games, but when played on a Vita, they're virtually non-existent too. They're under 10 seconds and only occur before levels and do not disrupt the gameplay at all.
If I didn't have a Neo Geo, the Vita Anthology would easily win over anything on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, and even the Wii Virtual console (due to the lack of flashing on bosses to indicate damage).
The lack of hit flashes makes it unplayable. You literally do not know if you got any splash damage from throwing a grenade or shooting a Slug shell on the ground near a boss. That affects certain boss fights way too much to enjoy the series.
My question as well. I have played some of the titles already on Steam and didn't notice any lag issues. Granted, I'm more aware of input lag with NES emulation, etc., so I may not be a good judge.I just went with the Steam versions. Those are fine right?
Metal slug 1 is classic but I would say Metal slug 2 is a better buy. Metal Slug X is really the definitive version of Metal slug 2.
EDIT: As far as ports go I would recommend the anthology collection on PS4. contains all of them!

They are ok but humblebundle.com sells the rom versions which u can chuck into emulators for as close as 1:1 if that interests youI just went with the Steam versions. Those are fine right?

Still missing X to be perfect.
There are some brief pauses for loading but they're really minor.Metal Slug 3 for PS4 is the definitive port of that game, no?
Everyone keeps saying "Vita Anthology" but I assume they mean PSP Anthology? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it have load times inserted at certain points during stages?

sucks that the Anthology never got released outside of the US Maybe LimitedRun could do a physical edition of it?
