Metal Storm (NES)

[Ed Oscuro]

I can't shake the feeling that it was some sort of gundam game when it was released in japan. was it?

Nope. I looked at the Japanese title for the game on IGN earlier today; GameFAQs should have it as well. Also, to the best of my knowledge Irem has never had a Gundam game.

Metal Storm = great. BTW, R-Type fans, watch for the *something from R-Type 1* cameo when fighting the Stage 7 boss (at least I think it's stage 7's boss, but I could be wrong).

That Mech on the Box art of Metal Storm reminds me of the Super Suit in Keith Courage in Alpha Zones for some reason.....

Well, in theory, it would be A boss in stage 7, since you re-fight the previous six bosses all over again. But it's actually the stage 6 boss.

Hehehehehehe... and I know JUST what you're talking about. Its color is different, but an infamous R-Type enemy is VERY apparent in the background of the stage 6 boss.

How could I fail to notice that? I had to fight that damn boss about six times or so. >_<

Metal Storm is obscure only everyone and their mother talks about it on the internet. I guess knowing about it gives you an upperhand over the twenty-somethings at Gamestop that only remember Contra, Super Mario's Bras and Castlevania. Wooo-eee.

Not so fast, Brat. I've never talked about it and never heard anyone talk about it. In fact, I've never even played it. That will change later this evening.

@Ernster: thanks for the suggestion.

No problem Have u had a chance to play it yet Digitalpress? Id like to hear your thoughts.

Stage 6's boss it is then. That shows you how long it's been since I've played the game. Thanks, Mike.

I'm fairly sure that all Gundam games are done by Bandai. Every single one I've seen so far has been anyways.

cool to see this topic revived. (I missed it back when)

I am still looking for this game, but in no rush. It's cheap, I see it around cart only for $5 but the copy's dirty as hell. No biggie... I'll get a copy eventually. Looks like a sleeper of a game.

Man, where were you guys when that TOP 100 NES Games list was in the works?

All it needed was 1 vote!

I picked up a complete copy of the game a couple of years ago on eB. Paid WAY too much for it in a bid war; and I'd never even heard of it.. but the cover made me want it.. badly. Mmmm.. Mecha!!!

Once I played it.. it reminded me of Metal Warriors for the SNES (I already had); but neither are related and I guess it would have been the other way around in chronological order.

I got this game in the mail a few days ago. Irem came up with another winner when they made this game. The gravity shifting rocks. The thing I dislike is the one-hit-kills. I mean, come on, you're a freaking mech! A MECH!! And one hit kills you?

A bit off topic but is Image Fight, (also an Irem game) any good?
