METAL SLUG 2
Developer SNK CORPORATION, Dotemu
Metal Slug 2 is a 1998 run and gun video game developed and published by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. It is the second installment in the Metal Slug series and the first to not be developed by Nazca Corporation, who developed the 1996 game Metal Slug, as they were acquired and absorbed into SNK. The original version of the game had extensive slowdown and performance issues, eventually leading SNK… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

unlabelledView post →Number 23, Mars People from Metal Slug 2. Last one! I wanted this to be a quick cheeky one, so here's the Mars People abducting Morden at the end of the game. Spoilers! I hope my Neo Geo spam wasn't too annoying, as I enjoyed the hell out of it. Now onto Dreamcast December! (joking) #neogeonov
unlabelledView post →#justbeatit Metal Slug 2 (arcade) Solid sequel with more vehicles, more enemies, bigger bosses. The addition of monsters and aliens was weird but cool I guess. I'm not sure if it's my rom or just the game but the slowdown is unreal bad, stull a good time though. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

I recap Metal Slug's finest hour, and arguably the Neo Geo's best game. 😊👇 #gaming #snk 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/metal-slug-x...
unlabelledView post →today's arcade game: METAL SLUG 2 that's right, it's the second game of the series you DIDN'T see in your local grocery store all the time growing up -- you're thinking of Metal Slug X. this one's also real good though playin' it at twitch.tv/anderjak soon
unlabelledView post →#JustBeatIt @polykillpodcast.bsky.social No.17 Metal Slug 2 (ARC). Released in 1998, this game is a visual and musical standout with lush sprites and iconic tracks. Unfortunately, heavy slowdown and bullet-sponge bosses undermine the pacing, dulling an otherwise sharp run-and-gun classic.
unlabelledView post →Lone and Vita last night reminded me of a few things 1. A good Megaman game should be harder then Metal Slug 2. I probably only think that b/c you can always respawn in place, and it cost me $56 in quarters to beat Metal Slug 1 3. Games with a giant fuck-off rocket launcher are fun
unlabelledView post →*frantically scans for Eri and/or Fio* ...Well I have to recommend one my favorite Neo Geo game, Metal Slug 3, even though they first appeared in Metal Slug 2 and most of the series since.
unlabelledView post →Had a funny dream last night, where I was just looking up old video game ads in magazines, but all the ads were like the most obvious and basic things you could say for a game. "METAL SLUG 3! The hit sequel to Metal Slug 2 is here!" "Mario's about to Party for the 5th time!" "There's 10 Mega Men."
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 2 (1998) It's more of the same from the first game, but i don't see that as a bad thing. It's basically the same Metal Slug action but with some extra playable characters, like a cute girl with glasses named Fio :3, and still the same explosions and Wilhelm esc enemy screams! 8.5/10

unlabelledView post →Come to think of it, Metal Slug Collection PC exists, but rather than releasing Metal Slug Collection PC on Steam, SNK released the mobile ports of Metal Slug 1, 2, X, and 3 individually on Steam... What if I wanna play 4, 5, and 6? Also, why sell Metal Slug 2 and X separately? Same game..
unlabelledView post →However, I hadn't replayed the original Metal Slug 2 in decades. Sweet lord, I can see why it got remade in less than a year. What in the ever loving fuck are these enemy placements? Not only that, but it suffers from insane slowdown and the late game bosses are incredibly unbalanced.
unlabelledView post →🎮 2026 Game #25: Metal Slug X Literally just Metal Slug 2, but with better music and supposedly less slowdown. Although from my playthroughs, it felt the same to me. Still solid though, great gameplay, great art, love the soundtrack, had a blast playing through this one in co-op. 7.5/10
unlabelledView post →As of today, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) is the 222th best game of all time according to me, directly below Metal Slug 2 and directly above Hotline Miami. It is part of Tier 12. There are 25 tiers and 573 games in the list #PixelRankings

unlabelledView post →Metal Slug X (1999) Okay so I didn't realize this was just a rerelease of Metal Slug 2 till after the fact s-so uh... everything I said in my short review of that game applies here. Same score too 8.5/10
unlabelledView post →I'm done streaming for today. I couldn't figure out what to do and did a run of Metal Slug 2. I once again did the first stage deathless (I still can't do a 1CC of the game). I raided @dnopls.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/corey_v_assi...

unlabelledView post →🎮 2026 Game #19: Metal Slug 2 Actually liked this one more than the first, even if the performance was not great. The visuals were great, the music slaps, controls are tight, and the gameplay is just fun. Also this one has some of the best boss fights in the series. Excited to play X next. 7.5/10
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug is pretty cool arcade experience, I recommend you look over Metal Slug 1, X (because it’s better version of Metal Slug 2) and 3. I didn’t even look for No Man’s Sky, but still updating the game with a lot of content.
unlabelledView post →Thinking about that... a lot of the events in that game (aswell as Metal Slug 2) happen because the enemies were snooping around a bit too much until something evil got unleashed and now it's your job to fix that

unlabelledView post →Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2024 6. Ninja Gaiden Shadow (GB) ~7. Metal Slug 2 (PS2) 8. Metal Slug (PS2) The second game in the series didn't seem to add a whole lot from the first game with new enemies being an addition but that still makes it really solid and fun to play.
unlabelledView post →As of today, Subsurface Circular (2017) is the 224th best game of all time according to me, directly below Batman: Arkham City GOTY and directly above Metal Slug 2. It is part of Tier 12. There are 25 tiers and 596 games in the list #PixelRankings
unlabelledView post →the only Metal Slug game better than Metal Slug 2 is Metal Slug X, an enhanced remake of it. It just nails the perfect balance. It's pretty, it's fun, it's absolutely great. I should replay it.

unlabelledView post →METAL SLUG X (Switch 2): AKA the remixed and improved Metal Slug 2. Had this on PS1 back in the day. It really ramps up the craziness from the first game. Zombies! Alien jellyfish! Being eaten by a whale! Good times.
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 2 is a slightly worse version of Metal Slug X. Still a damn good game but the slowdown is kind of unforgivably bad. But even a mid Metal Slug is still a pretty good time
unlabelledView post →The XBox One version of Metal Slug 2 on Arcade Classics Archives seems to have updated in the last week- the non-game UI is now no longer shit, for a start. Dunno if other ACA games have had the same treatment. (Or if it took my XB too long to update and this is old news)
unlabelledView post →A condition being met can affect another game. Metal Slug has been finished. Metal Slug 2 has a lock on it and cannot be played. The condition to unlock it is "Beat Metal Slug in Co-op Mode". This has been met, so the lock breaks. The game is now playable.
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 2 (Replay) (1998) Da first video game I ever played probably (It's either this or Garou, don't remember which cabinet I touched first) The spritework here is still sorcery even by modern standards, this game looks nuts Last level really tries to milk you for quarters which kinda sucks
unlabelledView post →#ArcadeGames #VideoGames I voted for: 1.) Super Street Fighter II Turbo 2.) The Simpsons Arcade Game 3.) Dance Dance Revolution 4.) The House of the Dead 5.) X-Men 6.) Time Crisis II 7.) Metal Slug 2 8.) Tekken 3 9.) Mortal Kombat 3 10.) Daytona USA

unlabelledView post →18) Metal Slug X | Steam + Time of day changes make stages look striking compared to Metal Slug 2 + Getting fat in more stages & it changing the way your gun fires is a nice improvement + Enemy placements are noticeably better compared to Metal Slug 2 + Feels like an action movie turned arcade game
unlabelledView post →16) Metal Slug 2 | Steam + Huge upgrade across the board compared to the original + New weapons add a lot of variety + Stages feel vastly more original than the first game + Bosses are a blast - Framerate can be pretty rough
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 2 Wow they really took tighten up this game difficult when compared to the first and frankly made it a over better experience. Plus it introduced Eri the best Metal Slug. So it’s already leaps and bounds better. Everything else is good as always 9/10
unlabelledView post →6) Metal Slug 2: Much more fleshed out than the first game with bosses and weapons. The UFOs are a nice change of pace.
