Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge is a Super Nintendo game using the Super Scope. It is the sequel to Battle Clash and was only released in North America and Europe.

Story

In a post-apocalyptic world, the world is controlled by those who command Standing Tanks (STs), giant robots of incredible power. In the past, they were controlled by the evil Anubis and his ST, Thanatos. Three years ago, a man named Mike Anderson challenged and defeated Anubis. But as swiftly as Anubis disappeared, he returned again to resume his rule over the Earth from his Lunar Base.

Gameplay

In the game, the player takes command of the ST as the gunner, partnering up with Mike who does the movement. Using the Super Scope, the player can fire consecutive shots, or charge up their attacks for more powerful hits. The shots can also be toggled to use a variety of bombs and other power ups. Although the game is largely a shooter, an element of strategy is needed in order to determine the strategy of each boss and where the weak points are.

The game plays similar to the original Battle Clash. In this game there are more boss battles, new power ups, and a training mode preceding story mode. The game also features a secret code that allows you to play as the ST Tornado, piloted by Carol Eugene. Her ST allows for storage of ten charged shots (as opposed to Mike's three) as well as a special super attack that will unleash all of her shots at once.

Release

• Due to the Super Scope's unpopularity in Japan (more so than in the US or Europe), the game never saw a release in Japan, despite the fact that it was developed there.
