what glitches?

One of them is really minor, Nadia doesn't get a score bonus from melee kills, but Trevor can't move at all while using melee attacks.

The Wii version of the Anthology is great except that all of the non-Gamecube controller schemes are pretty dumb and there's no d-pad support when you use it for some reason. No Classic Controller support at all. Also there are short load times during stage transitions and the boot up load time/splash screens are pretty awful.

The Virtual Console versions have Classic Controller support but IIRC have the censorship flag ON so no blood. Also they're 9 bucks each, and 5 and 6 didn't get released.

Some of the individual home ports on PS1/PS2/Xbox have little extra modes that aren't in the emulated versions on the newer systems, but also some have punishing credits systems.

Metal Slug 3 on PC is pretty cool but I think it has sound issues if I remember right?

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

Why on earth is the default graphics option for MS3 and X on steam Filter:On. It ruins the pixel perfection.

Personally I play fullscreen with filters off in 4:3 and with 100% scanlines. Looks amazing.

gotta agree. 3 has some pretty great bosses and all, but by the time i get to level 5 i'm burnt out on the game.

i dont like the level design in 3 nearly as much as 1 & 2 either. theres hardly any destructible terrain compared to the first 2, and the branching paths are cool but kinda imbalanced in that some are way shorter/easier than others. so if you're trying to 1cc there's pretty much an optimal route to take. its still a very good game though.

overall i'd say X is the best metal slug.
