If you haven't tried Metal Storm, it's a sidescrolling action-platformer similar to Mega Man, Midnight Resistance, and Blaster Master. While the gravity-switching gimmick is neat, it isn't the reason why the game is well loved. Metal Storm is a solid game all around, with good controls and low flicker. It's certainly one of the better platformers for NES, but since it is rare and obscure, most gamers haven't tried it before.

Authentic copies of the game regularly goes for over $100 on eBay. This is yet one more game in an emerging trend of obscure, rare retro games getting licensed reprints (such as Gley Lancer).
The standard and Collector’s Edition will be available to order via Castlemania and Limited Run Games’ site, with the standard edition going for $44.99 and the Collector’s Edition going for $69.99. The rerelease is estimated to come out in October 2019.
