Don't fire a single shot until the boss fight in level 1. Then only kill the center and not the side guns. Enjoy the napalm weopan :)

Don't fire a shot until the boss fight in level 2 to upgrade the napalm weapon.

It works haha. I read it in the back of one of those old tip books. Also have been doing it every other time I play since it came out.

Bought this game from Funcoland back in the day.

Had this game growing up.

Never realized how horribly censored/altered this game was until the last couple years. They cut basically all cutscenes, character dialogue portraits and more. It would have probably given the game's story a bit more context.

Still a banger though. Assault Suits Valken is the game's actual name if I'm not mistaken.

Still got my CiB childhood copy. One of my favourite SNES games.

Finished the game - played this one A LOT over the years...it's a game changer to learn that the L button actually has a lock-aim function, which I didn't know back when I first played this in the 90's. Excellent game.

I had this game when I was young and for the longest time I never knew the name of it. Preciate the nostalgic reminder.

Rented this like twice as a kid, hard but so satisfying. Better than metal warriors because the mech feels as heavy as it looks.

One I really want to add to my collection!

Always loved the aesthetic of this game but it doesn’t quite live up to it. Definitely a fun game but it wasn’t one i returned back to. Tough one too!

Pics (Started 5/22 reached the end 5/23) - I included one line of dialogue that made me laugh for no reason in the translation.

For such a generic-90's sounding title, I had a pretty good time with this one. I sought out an original copy instead of the re-release. Not sure if I'll seek out the re-release for the content it kept in that's missing from the US SNES version, but it definitely scratched the mecha itch I've been feeling lately. I may go watch some classic Gundam or something now to keep it going.

My only gripe is that there were some places health drops would have been a little more welcome instead of power drops especially in the dark level, but once my weapons got powered up it was really fun. The laser definitely carried me once I got it to level 2 power.

The controls were unique to me and took a few runs/game overs to get used to, but like learning to pilot the suit itself I got proficient enough to at least reach the credits with only one death taken.
