METAL SLUG 30th Anniversary Site

METAL SLUG's detailed pixel art and charming, lighthearted visuals set it apart from the rest when it hit arcades in 1996.
Players have been spellbound by the game's vibrant graphics ever since—whether it be comically expressive soldiers and their nuanced movements, or giant war machines whose destruction shakes the entire screen. Coupled with its simple, intuitive controls and fast-paced gameplay, it's little wonder this SNK classic garnered acclaim not just in the arcade but on home consoles as well.
Even now, 30 years on, the Metal Slug series continues to evolve. Still running, still gunning—with no end in sight.
Strap in and stay tuned for what lies on the horizon!
