[color=gray]well that look like a game that might take me all night or maybe a day just to beat [/color] :D

I'm glad you mentioned the Happy Video Game Nerd. He's under appreciated and deserves more love (so to speak).
Anyways the game looks awesome to play. Great recommendation.

[color=green]Only the company who brought us R Type could bring us a game this sadistic. :P [/color]

[color=Green]METAL STORM! Fuck yes I loved this game as a kid! Even before the Game Genie, I remember playing this game. I did NOT STOP until I had beaten it.... or until I had to take it back to the rental store...[/color] It was all about figuring out the positioning of the bosses when fighting them.
The game is very hard. I remember spending the better half of a day playing through it just to make it to the final level, and I felt damn proud that my 7 year old self made it that far. I never did beat the game, until I later replayed it on an emulator and finally beat it, feeling that I deserved that much after remembering just how much effort I put into it when I originally played.
Now then, I think I'll watch the video now and see what LordKat has to say about it.

nice, metal storm. Probably one of the hardest and most under appreciated games ever made.
This game was so far ahead of its time, it's crazy to think it was only an nes game

Simpson's are the next game. Calling it now.

take a look at LK site, he has like the next 2 UWWs up (and it's not simpsons or anything to do with itchy and scratchy).

It's nice to see some great games reviewed with the really bad stuff that's out there, too. Metal Storm is an awesome game and deserves all the kudos it gets. Great review. B)

I hadn't heard of this game until just now. You seem to regard it highly and it definitely looks fun. If I can, I'm going to see if I can eventually get it.
Anyway, another great episode of Until We Win. This game's expert mode did seem particularly dastardly. I eagerly anticipate the next episode. :)

06.27.2010 - 02:41 | PlasticLionThe Itchy and Scratchy game for SNES, perhaps?
-
06.27.2010 - 02:57 | Mr.StillmanAlthough this game is a 'bit' different, I would love to see LordKat get out of his comfort zone of platformers. Maybe a race game or something...

haha, love the ripper reference

Metal Storm is one of best underrated games released to NES.

And here I was, having never attempted the expert mode...
Good stuff, LK. :)

Good game. I own it, but have never beaten it.

Thanks for an awesome episode, makes me want to play this game.
LordKat is by far the best channel on tgwtg

Nice game. Never heard of it before (I just knew the Metal Storm Festival).
-
06.27.2010 - 08:00 | the_knezImmortality?! Holy crap, that's what I call a reward! :cheer:
-
06.27.2010 - 08:45 | Rydiokhinting itchy and scratchy much?
-
Simple. Giant robots are to Japan what Spandex-clad superheroes are to America. That's about the long and short of it.
And you gotta admit, giant robots do seem less silly than guys in tights.
-
Is it just me, or is the 5-2 boss like an older version of Green from Gunstar Heroes? Constantly changing forms, dodging attacks by switching from ceiling to floor, bullets/walls you need to jump between...
-
06.27.2010 - 11:36 | LogamanVery few people have actually played Metalstorm, but those of us who have all agree it's easily one of the best platformers on the NES and horribly over-looked.

Metal Storm is such an awesome game! Glad to see you having a crack at it.
I've never had the balls to attempt the expert mode in the game though, with a few of your handy tips, I might just give it a go until I win. :D

It looks like a fun game, but dude, I could NOT look at those early 90's Trapper Keeper colors for hours on end!

I cant watch whole your video since the game seems to give me eyestrain >.

This game looks pretty interesting. Too bad they don't make games, like these anymore. Ah well..great vid
-
06.27.2010 - 21:15 | Neo Ultra MikeWell to be fair, Sonic and Knuckles Death Egg Zone Part 2 also had bits with flipping the gravity which was also seen in Sonic Adventure 2's Crazy Gadget. Not to the degree of Metal Storm but it did play with the mechanic decently well.

Nice review Jason. Keep up the good work. Be nice if you too started selling t-shirts for extra cash. Get some actual consoles for a change of pace. Hehe.

06.28.2010 - 11:02 | TyX79He sells t-shirts on his website, just hope you like strawberries :evil:

This was a pretty sweet looking NES game. Thank you for the review.
