Metal Storm

For the first time ever, the Japanese version of the classic NES® game Metal Storm has been translated to English along with the white mech, cinematic introduction to the plot, and higher difficulty level options. This standard edition box includes a Twilight Black Metal Storm cartridge packaged in a collectible retail box with a double-sided poster and manual.

Metal Storm is an NES game by Irem where you basically play as Captain Viridian's mecha ancestor.

Dummied-out Intro

The Japanese version of Metal Storm contained a neat little intro sequence, which was disabled in the US version. However, the code was left mostly intact, and can be re-enabled using the Game Genie codes SNKEPULO and OOKEZLVP. The only things removed were a 'TAMTEX' logo (the division of Irem that developed the game), a few screens of Japanese text, and the tiles for an exploding planet animation, which suggests that Irem originally planned to keep the intro. Why it was ultimately disabled is anyone's guess.

The Tamtex copyright was also removed from the US title screen, leaving only the Irem copyright. Colin mcrae rally download.

Different Ending

In the Japanese version, the last boss says 'You will die with me..' after you defeat him. Also, the epilogue, while still in English, is completely different from the one in the USA version. Finally, the credits list in the Japanese version has one name that was very strangely removed in the USA version: Hiroshi Futami (Producer).
