Metal Storm (NES)

[kei-nova]

Forget Transformers or Robotech on the NES!  Let's explore the "fateful 3" mech games that did make it to North America: Metal Mech, MagMax, and the legendary Metal Storm.

Get ready to:

Blast back to the 80s/90s mecha craze

Gear up for the pixelated punches of these niche titles

Master Metal Storm's gravity-defying mechanics and epic bosses

Ponder the mystery of why the NES lacked mecha variety

This is for you if:

You crave NES hidden gems with a mech twist

You love forgotten classics and retro game design quirks

You dig retro gaming history and insights

Let's Talk Mechs! 💬

Did you pilot any of these games? Why do you think the NES had so few mecha titles?  Share your theories in the comments!

possibly my most involved creation yet, a tribute to Metal Storm on NES

[hgf-the-fairy]

Did you know that Metal Storm is a game that exists and is kind of awesome?

So, Metal Storm is an NES run-and-gun that's kind of a bit like if Contra had VVVVVV's gravity changing mechanic. And I dunno, I feel like it doesn't get talked about nearly often enough considering it's arguably one of the best NES games ever.

The animations are really smooth for an NES game, the movement feels good, they somehow pulled off complex parallax scrolling effects, the bosses are creative and fast-paced, the levels are varied and don't overstay their welcome...

Oh, and it's hard. Very hard. For those who like NES games for that.

This is the part where I wish I could say to go play such and such or so and so re-release, but outside a limited edition special cartridge reprint they did, there sadly isn't one that I know of.

So, alas. You'll have to resort to other means if you wish to play this gem of a game. Which I highly recommend doing some time, by the way.

SATAN LAUGHS AS YOU ETERNALLY ROT

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an early shot of American thrash metal band SLAYER, playing a gig in their pre-"Show No Mercy" days c. 1981-possibly '82.

Four focused teenagers channeling the speed and ferocity of '80s hardcore punk, combined with the technical ability of the NWOBHM to create something truly unique, unholy and supremely evil. 🔥💫💀💥💢

Prompt 279

Now Danny didn’t mean to make a Bootube channel. He’d meant to send that sleep deprived ramble to Tucker, but he had clicked on the wrong app and yeah. Apparently people enjoy his space rambles- or it could have been the ghost blob-cats that had decided to flop onto him. (Honestly he wasn’t surprised they would start to mimic the shapes of things in their surroundings)

Tucker? Found it hilarious, as did Sam and Val and… um, okay this has become their shared channel now, nice. Though there are some strange comments on some of the videos. Really, what do they mean green sky and crazy tech???

Sonic WIPs and Scribbles from 2023 (Notes Below)

Gave Chaos the Angel Chao ... "Ears" ? So that All Forms (Neutral/Dark/Hero) have some form of Representation. (The two split ... Hair? Things? In the back already resemble the Devil Chao, since the Light Chao only has one.)

Solaris Exists! ... Crazy. I recall this redesign being bit tricky because it was just so hard to see what the fucking thing looked like Originally, but I did my best. Tried to show the Bird/Eagle Theming, and to simplify the design so People like Me could understand it. I wanted this design to look like a counterpart to Chaos -- because in this AU, Solaris is from, you'll never guess...the Sol Dimension!

Gave Team Dark a sort of... cohesive color scheme with eachother, so they really look like a Unit. Plus, Rouge wearing Red just... Makes sense, considering her name, even if I enjoy the Purple color scheme as well.

Similar color scheme thing here with the Babylon Rogues -- They all share Red/White/Yellow -- I took the darker colors out of these designs to not be so similar to Team Dark haha. The amount of points on each of their...Chest...Fluffs?? matches the amount of feathers they have on their head Respectively . Changed Storm the most -- I wanted to make his "Hair" Silhouette more Unique from Wave's, and really just wanted an excuse to give a character a Cool Jacket . The Shoes ... I phoned those in a bit, I'll probably change them Later...

Sharddddddd. Throughout my Scribbles (including some here) You might've seen me struggle to decide what Quill Style to give him -- his OG style? Or the Metal Sonic style? Eventually, I decided I didn't need to choose -- I could do both. It's not demonstrated that well in these, but it's basically the same style the Bits have in Sonic Universe: The Silver Age -- just thinner and more Pointy .

Ahhh Faceless Jumpscare! This is what they look like when I'm trying to work on Poses and Colors but don't want to Commit to a Face yet, haha . Nicole, I'm always changing her design it seems -- don't be surprised if it happens again! But I based her handheld off various devices Tails uses -- I wanted it to be compact while being more Modern than the Nokia Flip Phone. Changed her hologram form slightly to resemble her handheld -- her ears are the antenna, and the rings are on her feet like how the ring is plugged in at the bottom. Made her vest longer too! So it looks more like her Reboot Outfit . Just a little.

And that's mostly it! I've been on a quest to draw Every Character in my Sonic Au -- I've sketched about... 35 so far? Here's a Screenshot of a bit of the Madness on that canvas haha.
