METAMORPHIC FORCE - RETRO ARCADE REVIEW

My review of the 1993 arcade game, Metamorphic Force (JP version). This game is a straight up awesome and I had such a fun time playing it. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
NOTE: I messed up in this vid and thought Metamorphic Force used the same engine as Mystic Warriors, where in reality, that is not the case at all, this is via Wikipedia:
"The game mechanics are similar to those of Konami's earlier arcade hit, X-Men, and runs on the same hardware as their ninja-themed game, Mystic Warriors."

I love this game! I used to play it in the arcades back in the day. It’s very fun specially with a second player. I then forgot it’s name and lost track of it for a couple of years but once I remembered what it was called I tracked it down on an emulator to relive it all over again. It’s still just as fun as it was back in the day.
