This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
I beat the Turtles 2 arcade game on NES with my friend for the first time like 3 or 4 years ago. I'm pretty sure that's the only beat em up I've ever legit beaten on console. Gotta get to shredder with a lot of lives because he does have a bullshit 1 hit kill.

It's annoying when you're young and just starting out but it encourages players to learn how to play the game. I wouldn't have nearly as much skill if the Super Star Wars trilogy hadn't been as hard as it was.

Metal slug 3 is on steam, and I consider the pc its own platform.

Yeah bitch, semantics.

Knew a guy who had that Neo Geo Pocket thingy. Only one game for the drat thing, but I was pretty impressed he was able to track one down in the states.

Metal Slug got it right the first time by simply displaying the number of continues after you beat the game.
bask in your numerically quantified shame

yeah lots of arcade shmups do this. the ones digit is generally not used since scores are multiples of 10, so they just start you with a score of one on your first continue, two on your second, etc. cool little mark of shame.

if you can't beat a game with continues on one continue, you need to practice more

Where does it hurt?
Me and a friend were very bad at games and we were playing Metal Slug 2 in Kawaks and our boss strat was to throw grenades until we died and then throw more

I checked at the end and it would have cost us $37 to make it through the game like that on a real machine

They did this because otherwise you could beat all those games in 10 minutes. So they need to draw them out.
