First 30: Mighty Goose... the second coming of Metal Slug?!


Mighty Goose is like the second coming of Metal Slug... except with a goose. My first game on the Neo Geo Pocket Color was a Metal Slug game... and it looked and played beautifully. I don't want to make a 1st 30 of Mighty Goose an overall discussion about Metal Slug, but... it's hard not to. Everything about the game reminds me of Metal Slug and I honestly felt that there was a missed opportunity to bring back Metal Slug when the Nintendo 3DS was on fie.

Metal Slug fell into that hole where the only new installments that followed were actually just the same old titles released on new systems. I don't mind diving back in, but if they took another approach and increased the replay value... Metal Slug could've been a whole new animal powered up. Maybe one day we'll see it but in the meantime... I have to give Playism props for bringing this action arcade platformer to light. It's awesome.
