#Metal slug 6 arcade machine how to

Even though the system is so old, it's still a mysterious system, probably not many people in the world know completely how it works, or how to get the most out of it. Instead they've apparently kept the hardware documentation secret, why would the technical documents for the Neo Geo still have to be kept secret after all this time, it's not like SNK are still selling games for the Neo. SNK could also release hardware/software for Neo heads to create their own software, for example based on templates for Metal Slug, other shooters (easy to make games) etc. They could have released SSV Perfect in 2005(the year after SSVS), for example. They could have at least tried to keep the Neo alive to some extent, for example 1 game a year or something. So u had all these arcade owners with working MVS hardware but no new games coming out for it, after SSVS there was nothing. The only other system or hardware I can really compare that to is the Naomi, which is still being supported 3rd party and still occasionally has games being released on it.Ĭlick to expand.It was probably a good decision, but it definitely left fans who had invested a lot of money in the Neo AES out in the cold (and the MVS system was always widely distributed in arcades, long after SNK dropped making games for it). The MVS will always be a shining example of what can be done with ancient hardware when it is pushed to it's limits. None the less, I don't think the game (MS6) would be fetching the price it still does now if it ended up on MVS hardware.

If they didn't, we would probably have seen KOF XI, XII, and NeoWave on MVS, and honestly after seeing XII on Type-X2, would you want to go back? Part of me in a way would say yes, but in the technical prowess and achievement graphically that they did on XII, I say no. I think it was just a smart decision at the time for SNK to switch to newer hardware, as it showed they are not stuck in the past on their old hardware and are willing to move forward, along with somewhat newer technologies. So true, and while part 5 didn't have much slow down at all, there definitely isn't any in part 6 on AW hardware.
