Last week, the excellent Samurai Shodown II hit iOS and Android as a part of Hamster’s ACA NeoGeo lineup. Shaun reviewed it here. This week, SNK and Hamster have launched another classic with the original Metal Slug ($3.99) has released on iOS and Android as the newest ACA NeoGeo series release. Metal Slug released in 1996 originally, and it has you controlling Marco and Tarma trying to defeat Donald Morden. While not my favorite entry in the series, it is a good one to see ported over in its ACA NeoGeo form. Watch the Metal Slug ACA NeoGeo trailer for its console release from Hamster below:
You can buy Metal Slug ACA NeoGeo on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. As with prior releases on mobile, this costs half of what it does on consoles at $3.99. If you aren’t sure if this one is for you, I’d recommend going with one of the games Shaun recommended in his best games list.
