| - | Trivia/e-rumor extermination time! Although it has been rumored that the celebrated [[super nintendo entertainment system|SNES]] underdog [[Metal Warriors]] was originally an NCS-developed Assault Suits game (sometimes identified as "Assault Suit Gideon") that was eventually passed onto Konami for whatever reason, it has been reveleaed this is not the case. Rather, the game was developed by various employees of [[LucasArts]], then published by Konami. | + | Trivia/e-rumor extermination time!

| >//Mike Ebert and myself made it from scratch after finishing ZAMN. So no, it was not a spin off of anything. As far as the idea, we just wanted to work on something head to head with a more serious note after doing ZAMN. The only other part of the story was that Nintendo was originally going to publish it. We even did about 3 months worth of changes by their request. Then at the last minute they decided that it was too much like Cybernator and the deal got nixed. It was then we went back to Konami whom had also published ZAMN. The only other name it ever went by was Battle Droids.\\\\ | >//Mike Ebert and myself made it from scratch after finishing ZAMN.
