He hovers in the air, just too far away to hit normally, and moving just a little too swiftly for your jump attacks to land, and pelts you with air fireballs that either freeze you on contact, or cause you to burst into flames.
The end boss, named Genocide, is the not only super generic, but he’s also probably the cheapest final boss character ever to appear in one of these games. Doppel, a boss character, shape-shifts into a copy of the character you’re playing as, which is a pretty cool gimmick. One enemy, who I think is supposed be some kind of aquatic/diving soldier, has an outfit that is clearly referencing the Zenomorphs from Alien. Even the proliferation of mutant/monster enemies has a Ninja Turtles vibe. Enemies sometimes get dizzy from taking too many hits.
Enemies come out from under manholes to attack you. The Seaport level is eerily reminiscent of the sewer surfing levels. It seems like Capcom may have been trying to compete with Konami’s TMNT arcade games with this one. There’s a surprising amount of blood and characters getting cut in half too, at least in the Japanese version. And there are mech suits you can jump into and wreak havoc, roasting enemies with flamethrowers or freezing them in blocks of ice. The weapons you can pick up include handguns, assault rifles, and missile launchers, upping the violence significantly. The cast of characters is obviously rather wacky. So yeah…this game is strange.Įverything is more over the top in Captain Commando.

The protagonist consist of the titular Captain Commando, a superhero with “Energy Gloves” allowing him to use lighting or fire in attacks Ginzu (Shō in Japan), a ninja making hime the default coolest character, plus he supposedly uses Guy’s same Bushin-ryu style Mack the Knife (Jennety in Japan), a knife-wielding mummy for some reason and Baby-Head (Hoover in Japan) who’s-and I’m just going to quote Wikipedia directly here-“a super genius infant who fights using a robot of his own design". Running (by double-tapping right or left) has been added, as well as a dash attack to go with it. Final Fight, being the grand daddy of the bunch, is only two-player.īasically a sci-fi comedy version of Final Fight-it’s even set in Metro City, but in the future!-with superhero protagonists. Most of these games can be played with three players max, but Captain Commando and Battle Circuit actually offer four-player modes.

Turns out audio has improved a lot in 20-30 years! So I recommend turning the volume down a few notches. That said, despite the experience being “arcade perfect” here, you may find the sound quality lacking for a few titles. Several of these titles had home console releases on the SNES, but audio/visual quality had to be paired down to fit on the less beefy hardware. Regarding the games themselves, these are the original arcade roms playing in all their glory. The collection of artwork and design documents curated here is pretty damn impressive, and I can get lost flipping through page after page of historical materials. Once again, the Museum mode included in this game is worth the price of admission alone. And having spent a good amount of time with the Bundle, I am happy to report that it’s pretty damn sweet.įirst of all, it must be said that the menus, bonus materials, and overall presentation is very slick and I definitely appreciate it. (In fact, this collection is missing some of Capcom’s best beat’em ups due to licensing issues, so you might still want to go the emulation route in order to play those gems.) But having the official release primed and ready to go on the Switch-especially for muliplayer purposes-is something I couldn’t possibly pass up. You see, this a collection of old arcade games, and these particular titles aren’t hard to find online if you wanted to emulate them. Immediately buying the Bundle and jumping right in, I was not disappointed. So when Nintendo announced Capcom Beat’Em Up Bundle I was the middle-aged dude voice you heard squealing with glee. Final Final in particular-with its Street Fighter connections and best-character-ever Guy-is definitely a favorite of mine. TMNT, Double Dragon, Final Fight, River City Ransom I kinda love all of them. You might not know this about me, but I’m a big fan of old school beat’em up games.
