This is one of those games that I wanted but never had a chance to get back in the day. The local gaming stores barely stocked anything outside the big names of gaming, and even then it was one or two copies per store (they received weekly shipments).

Metal Warriors was one I never saw on shelves. EB got one copy and it was a pre-order for a regular, they didn't order any for the store itself.

This always dumbfounded me because Konami was a well known, trusted, publisher within the gaming community back then. I guess this came down to the title being unknown so stores didn't put much investment in it.
