Hi Hamster Corporation, thank you finally releasing Metamorphic Force on ACA! I e-mailed you back in September (and a few years ago) requesting this game and a few other titles (including Violent Storm). I was happy to see you made the announcement for MF this morning, as it deserved to be released on modern consoles. It's highly appreciated and can't wait to buy it when it's out in the West.

Thank you, Hamster Corporation. I've been hoping you guys would port this to modern consoles. I only played Metamorphic Force once when I was sixteen years old and that was at the Century Theater in Hayward CA back in 1995. I remember hoping that Konami would port it to the PlayStation back in the day, but they never did. Though, I'm happy now that I can finally play it on the Nintendo Switch. Once again, thank you Hamster Corporation. 😃

Originally released in August of 1993 and running on Mystic Warriors Hardware, Konami's Metamorphic Force is a side scrolling brawler where players undergo radical changes to save the world. Storywise, in the year 199X AD, the ruler of the Kingdom of Horror known as Death Shadow has risen from the dead in order to take over it. In response, the Greek goddess, Athena, have summoned the souls of four ancient guardians and bestowed their power to four contemporary warriors to stop Death Shadow's plans once and for all. What makes their powers unique is that the heroes can transform into anthropomorphic beasts. The four heroes consist of the following: * Ban, a Japanese karate master whose beast spirit is a fighting bull which transforms him into the mighty Minotaur. * Claude, a noble French swordsman who wields a rapier, whose spirit is that of the white wolf, which transforms him into a white Werewolf. * Max, an American boxer who inherits the spirt of a black panther which transforms him into a werepanther. * Ivan, a Russian hunter and wrestler who carries a log as his weapon. His spirit is a bear which transforms him into a werebear. Gameplay wise, the controls use an 8 way joystick and two buttons which consist of attacking and jumping. When an enemy is on the ground, players can beat them while they're on the ground similarly to Crime Fighters, Vendetta, and X-Men. When things get troublesome, players can press both buttons for a powerful "Crowd Buster'' attack that comes at the expense of a small portion of your life energy. Occasionally, a humanoid feline will show up with a sack. If you attack him, he will drop one of 3 items: * Treasures that provide bonus points. * Chalices, wreaths, fists with lightning, and flexed arm figurines that provides extra life energy, and beast energy should the player be in beast form. * A statue of Athena which causes the player to transform into their beast form. If the player is already in beast mode, picking up this statue will automatically prompt the player to perform a stronger attack that hurts all enemies on the screen. When you transform into your beast form, you can perform stronger attacks and move quicker, but if you're hit, you'll lose transformative energy which if it is allowed to run out, will force your player to revert to his human form. This release includes the Japanese, European, and North American versions. Comparing the 3 released versions, there are various differences: * The Japanese version uses a traditional life gauge and lives system whereas the European and North American version uses a numerical life energy system. * In the Japanese version, you can revive as long as you have lives. In the European and North American versions, you have just a single life (similar to Crime Fighters). * In the Japanese version, each enemy and item has an assigned point value, while the European and North American versions add a single point each similar to various Konami games such as The Simpsons (US and World versions only), X-Men, Crime Fighters, and Vendetta. * Game settings are different on each version. For example, the Japanese version allows players to tweak the initial number of lives as opposed to the European and North American versions which allows players to tweak the value of energy per credit. Also, the number of loops in the Japanese version is set to a single loop while the other versions set it to endless as their default. * Some backgrounds in the Japanese version are different from the overseas versions, which alter it in order to avoid issues related to religious allusions. * The 5th round of the North American version begins with a boss gauntlet before facing the 5th boss, while the Japanese and European versions just go for the 5th boss.
