Ever since I first played metal storm, I knew it was special. It is ridiculously impressive for an NES game. From the zero gravity mechanic to its challenging difficulty, its an awesome game that deserves more recognition. Irem literally hands out ips for a living, so I can imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to get your hands on the rights. Please port my favorite NES game of all time!
