SNK’s Game Division Deputy General Manager Yasuyuki Oda’s was recently asked about the possibility of the Metal Slug series returning. His answer revealed that SNK is unsure of how to bring back the series.
“If we rebooted Metal Slug in some way, would they [gamers] be happy with the same “one hit you die” mechanic? Do gamers today think we should put it out that way?
Obviously there is a lot of stuff that people want us to reboot. We have people asking for Garou [Fatal Fury], people asking for Art of Fighting, people asking for Last Blade, people asking for Metal Slug… We would love to do all of them for obvious reasons. There are always discussions going on, but whenever we get down to it and we start talking about Metal Slug we start thinking, is it ok to put out a game like that nowadays?”
How would you want the series brought back?
