'X' is the outlier of the Neo Geo MVS Metal Slug series, in that it's a remix/re-release of Metal Slug 2, instead of a whole new game in it's own right. The main reason cited for this game being made, was to address complaints of excessive slow-down of the former game.
However rather than a bland re-release, in addition to fixing the slow-down issues, Metal Slug X receives a raft of improvements to the game. Even though the two games ('2' and 'X') may look much the same at a glance, the music has been remixed, the stages re-coloured with a different time of day appearance, more enemies have been added upping the difficulty, and even new weapons are gratefully introduced!
