The collection brings together 10 titles from across the franchise's history, including a previously unreleased location test build of the first game, and is now available to wishlist on the "Xbox" Store.
METAL SLUG first appeared in arcades in 1996, making 2026 the 30th anniversary of the series. The new collection spans arcade, home console, and handheld platforms, offering a comprehensive look at the franchise's evolution. A standout inclusion is the legendary location test build of the first title. This version was used for public testing in arcades during development but was never officially released. For the first time, players can experience this rare build on a home console.
Accessibility and Replayability
The collection introduces a range of new features designed to make the games more accessible. Players can customize their experience with adjustable settings for button layout, rapid-fire speed, difficulty, and time limits. Additional gameplay support features include infinite weapon ammo, mission selection, rewind functionality, and quick save/load options. These additions aim to preserve the charm of the originals while making the games more enjoyable for both longtime fans and newcomers.
Replayability is enhanced through Combat School Mode, which features conversations with an instructor that change based on mission performance. The collection also includes score and clear time rankings, a replay feature, a visual gallery, and a sound player. These elements allow players to explore the world of METAL SLUG from angles beyond standard gameplay. Note that available features and modes may vary by title.
