60 of 66 · most liked firsti think one of my favorite maneuvers by any boss from any game ever is when Jupiter King, from Metal Slug 3, grabs an implausibly large ICBM from its chest cavity and instead of doing anything clever, it just slams it nose-first into the floor

unlabelledView post →"Union Tank" Boss from "Metal Slug 7". I've only ever Played Metal Slug 3 but I generally love the tank, mech and vehicle designs from that game series. That said, I don't think this model does the amazing sprite work in those games much justice but an attempt was made 😅.
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 (メタルスラッグ３) by SNK is a retro game for arcades and Neo Geo from 2000.
unlabelledView post →The only game I’m unsure of is this one. Matt thinks it might be Makaimura since it’s in the “platformer” section next to a Metal Slug 3, but I have my doubts Man, bsky compression sucks for pixel art

unlabelledView post →There's a version of Silksong that's a linear stage-based action platformer with a bunch of secret alternate routes, ala Metal Slug 3, that get you different subweapons/moves over the course of a given <3 hour run. It is the best game ever made
unlabelledView post →I think UMAD was actually the first time I played Metal Slug 3 because they happened to put it on the candy cab that was on ST and 3S earlier in the day. Sick game. I feel like it's a lot "scarier" than the first two if that makes sense? A lot more supernatural stuff and blood and gore for sure.
unlabelledView post →Idiotic idea: game that is a boss rush, until you hit the final and it becomes a regular stage that's 30 minutes long like Metal Slug 3 and the final boss isn't a boss, it's a goal post you have to clear that kills you in one hit and sends you back to the beginning of the final stage if you fuck up.
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 lost to the unwashed asses game. 😔

unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 was a experience. Never really played these games until now but the game was a trip. Died a lot but unlimited continues in the ps2 port was forgiving. The music was great and the gameplay was intense. 5/5 it is worth the playthrough. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 is a console game with a few arcade trappings that get in the way. If it had a life meter instead of one-hit kills, for example, it'd be a lot more fun to explore all the hidden stuff.

unlabelledView post →45) Metal Slug 3 fun game but holy shit that final level is one of the longest arcade stages ive played
unlabelledView post →Game that came out in 2025: Silksong But as for old game I played for the first time: there is nothing quite like Metal Slug 3
unlabelledView post →Topped off the night by beating Gears 3 with my partner. Like Metal Slug 3, it’s a great game that goes on for a stretch too long, and the final boss is more annoying than fun. It was still a blast, though! Looking forward to Judgement, next.
unlabelledView post →My take on Silksong's difficulty (both in encounters and platforming) is that I really like it, but I think it fits better in a game with a more classic level to level structure. I'm thinking something like Rondo of Blood or Metal Slug 3, where levels have branching paths
unlabelledView post →Another game from my JP PS1 collection, because why not? This was a recent pickup. I've only played Metal Slug 3 at length, but as I really liked it, I just knew I had to check out the others. I also like the cover art. Unusual font choice for the disc...but it fits, somehow! 😂
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 →I've been grinding Metal Slug 3 for a few days now on the Vita. Gorgeous game, but it's brutal. The final mission is simply too much, definitely sours the experience, this should have been more focused. Bombastic, but on repeat playthroughs you realize that the spectacle wasn't worth it.
unlabelledView post →As of today, Breath of Death VII (2011) is the 456th best game of all time according to me, directly below Metal Slug 3 and directly above Recettear: An item Shop's Tale. It is part of Tier 44. There are 48 tiers and 539 games in the list. #PixelRankings
unlabelledView post →17) Metal Slug 3 I love the whole Metal Slug series, but this game is undoubtedly my favorite and my pick for the peak of the series. Some of the best levels, the best vehicles and the stealth storytelling is really excellent. Unmatched arcade brilliance.
unlabelledView post →Can't say it's my favourite, the Doc Robot stages + Wily's Castle makes the second half of the game feel like a gauntlet. It's like too much Mega Man (Metal Slug 3 has the same issue). The Proto fights are also really lame. Still pretty solid game, but yeah - not one of my favourites. [2/3]

unlabelledView post →I do hope this game has some Metal Slug 3 freaks because that will always be true Metal Slug to me
unlabelledView post →This ended up being way harder than I thought it'd be, looking at every game I've played like "is there any good antagonist?" Also had Metal Slug 3 as best retro game then realised it came out in 2000 and refused to admit that's retro.
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 continues to be an absolutely legend of a game.
unlabelledView post →The stream was OK...sort of. I only played one game because the game, Gaiapolois, while good, is REALLY LONG. Like slightly longer than Metal Slug 3 long. I will pick up the other game tomorrow, maybe. I was raided by @delaneyvalentine.bsky.social (thank you again). www.twitch.tv/corey_v_assi...
unlabelledView post →🔴 LIVE 🔴 Ahh been meaning to play this game for a while now! So why not play it now? Metal Slug 3! Live now on Twitch! But first, I got some news about Aurora's health, so I'll be taking some time to talk about that. www.twitch.tv/shopistar #ShopiStream #VTuber #ENVTuber #IndieVTuber #VSky
unlabelledView post →Sadly a lot of indie enjoyers and even devs spit on the idea of a pixel art game looking any less than Third Strike or Metal Slug, except if you're trying to capture a specific retro aesthetic as hard as possible. I used to see the Metal Slug 3 crab boss posted way too many times a few years ago
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 feat. my dad I have not grown as a person in the past 18 years This game is still a nightmare
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 is my favorite of the series. I love how the final level escalates and changes. I didn't realize it's about half the length of the entire game! It caps off so well with you fighting the Mars People brain leader while falling out of the mothership back into the atmosphere.
unlabelledView post →So I just beat Metal Slug 3, just to get that sweet succulent taste of a short game. It's a fun little romp that's just as difficult as all the other Metal Slug games. Good thing for effective unlimited continues in modern releases, huh?
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3 was such a rollercoaster of fun and weirdness. Somehow a game full zombies, mummies, and mutant crabs still cranks it up a notch in the end Also a fantastic soundtrack
unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3. This game is insane, I recommend playing the first two before this one to understand why this one is so good. I does everything that the first two did right and turns it up to a thousand. If you love run and guns you need to play this. (10/10)
unlabelledView post →Yooo. Metal Slug 3. I am kinda running out of steam with words to say about all these games I love, but like.. Metal Slug 3's got a lot of creativity with it's plot, and the enemy variety is expanded upon compared to the other few games before it. Fio is the best character in the game, by the way.
unlabelledView post →Numbah One: Metal Slug 3. Let’s start out with a banger of an arcade game. While Metal Slug X was my first and is also a favorite, MS3 took everything that game did and expanded it further with more weapons and branching paths, and some of the best boss fights in the series. PEAK PEAK PEAK!
unlabelledView post →26. Metal Slug 3 - if you enjoy running whilst also gunning, is this a game for you. There’s just so much stuff here that it’s hard to believe this is an arcade game. In some ways Slug games are a tour of Nazca Corp’s great pixel art, and this one’s a whopper.
unlabelledView post →today's arcade game: METAL SLUG 3 this one's considered one of the best in the franchise, and for good reason: LOTS of crabs twitch.tv/anderjak
unlabelledView post →Been playing Metal Slug 3. Nothing like super sweaty but it's been fun to boot up and do a run and see the improvement. Maybe I'll try the 1CC one day. Still really amazed by the quality of the sprite work though. Beautiful game.
unlabelledView post →There's a reason for that. Metal Slug 3 was the last game made by the original team at Nazca. Metal Slug 4 and 5 were made by Noise Factory. It's also why the music became a monaural datastream.
unlabelledView post →7) Metal Slug 3 Has a strong creative variety when it comes to level design and themes. But I feel the game overstays its welcome for an arcade game, especially with how horrendously damage-spongy the bosses are. As such I still prefer 1, might like 2/X but I haven't played that one yet.
unlabelledView post →I just found out that apparently in this game the end boss of Metal Slug 3 (who also came back as semi-playable in 6 if you went a certain route in stage 4) is represented in this game as a Japanese School girl as an exclusive unit in the non gotcha version?! Happy Transition?!

unlabelledView post →Metal Slug 3... not sure why, my first time seeing Zombies in video games on my PS2 and it scared me. Now tho I do not touch ANY horror game except multiplayer horror games (Except phasmo, something about Phasmo scares me the most)
unlabelledView post →I will never get over how these clowns Metal Slug 3'd a Sega game.
unlabelledView post →Okay I did misunderstand your post... So I will give the games that I find cool and fun that are also retro. Without video game history even though that's my thing! Metal Slug 3 Streets of Rage Final Fantasy 6 (Final Fantasy 3 on SNES) Super Smash Bros. The original
unlabelledView post →16/? Metal Slug 3 (replay) This and X always fight for my favorite Metal Slug game. This game is well designed and fun to play despite thinking the last level could've been a tad shorter. That finale is still a highlight all the same though. Very high recommendation from me
unlabelledView post →Well I forgot I left the game running while I enjoyed some Metal Slug 3 on my mom's iPhone 4, phone which still runs like it was new because it was made before things were designed to be worthless disposable trash. Well these are the results, mind you, it's been running for maybe an hour

unlabelledView post →I don't really get the hate-dom that Metal Slug 3 has, some of the bosses go on for too long and the game it self is a little long winded but I feel like majority of people were just dick riding on BBH's thoughts on the game and it was annoying.
unlabelledView post →For grins decided to DL/install Metal Slug 3 on my PS3 & PS Vita since the game was a cross-buy title. Don’t see any timeouts/expirations on there so that’s something. Still my urge to buy digital titles off PSN is now nill. Thanks PlayStation. 😡 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames
unlabelledView post →Happy 26th anniversary to Metal Slug 3, which made its debut in arcades on the 23rd of March 2000! While Metal Slug X will always be my favourite game in the franchise, there's no denying that Metal Slug 3 ranks highly amongst fans and is often heralded as the best entry in the series.
