Metal Slug 3

Metal Slug 3 on PlayStation Vita keeps the classic arcade chaos but wraps it in a sharp, handheld package. With the PS Vita ROM, you can preserve your own copy of the game and enjoy the same fast, explosive action on modern devices or directly on Sony’s handheld without being limited to a physical game card.

Arcade-style shooting on PS Vita

The Vita release keeps the original difficulty, branching paths and huge boss fights that made Metal Slug 3 so intense. Controls feel tight on the analog stick and face buttons, so dodging bullets, tossing grenades and jumping into vehicles still feel responsive. The portable screen displays detailed pixel art and smooth animations, which makes every explosion and enemy wave easy to read even during the busiest moments. Local co-op is still available when you link with another Vita, so you can run through missions together just like in the arcade.

Playing Metal Slug 3 PS Vita ROM on emulators

After you have backed up your own Metal Slug 3 PS Vita game into a clean ROM or VPK, you can load it in a compatible PS Vita emulator on Windows or Android. On PC, you can upscale the image, map the controls to your gamepad or keyboard and use features like quick save, quick load and screenshots. Some emulators also offer screen filters, scanlines, or CRT-style shaders, which give the game a look closer to an original cabinet. On Android, the same ROM works with touch controls or a Bluetooth controller, so you can run through missions anywhere without carrying your Vita.
