awbacon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Not sure why but Captain Commando never seems to get the love or attention that games like Final Fight, AvP and The Punisher do. Not sure why that is...because it's as good as the rest of Capcom's beat em up output! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I love this game. There's Baby Commando.....then some three other players, I don't know who they are because why would you select anything BUT the baby in a robot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I third the motion that Captain Commando is awesome! I think it was bigger in Japan. some of the commercials for Capcom's Beat'Em Up Bundle featured a live action guy in a Captain Commando suit, pretty funny stuff. Also agree with Cebus, Baby Commando (and the piledriver!) for the win. I am going to throw out there that if you're a Cap Commando fan... the SNES version is actually not too bad. Not up to the Arcade version, but an excellent conversion clearly done with lots of love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I also dig Battle Circuit. The only thing as good as a baby in a robot suit is a girl on a pink ostrich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing as good as a baby in a robot suit is a girl on a pink ostrich! Frankly I was disappointed by both. Battle Circuit is too weird for me and the RPG aspects (you unlock moves for a specific character) makes it difficult to try different characters. Captain Commando is ok, but a little basic (even though it features a special jump attack after running like in Golden Axe). Warriors of Fate is the real gem for me in the Capcom compilation, but I also enjoyed Armored Warriors a lot (weird too but more balanced imho).

Magic Sword would've been a neat addition, so maybe Capcom will nickel-and-dime folks on Arcade Stadium for that one, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Yes, I love Knights of the Round too. It's a bit basic compared to later games like Warriors of Fate, but it's better than The King of Dragons, which is very pretty but only offers a grand total of 2 moves. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuySan Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It's a good game, but compared to the likes of AVP, Cadillacs, the punisher it feels a bit stiff. But it's understandable because it's an older game.And yes, the baby is the best:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think King of Dragons might be my favorite of all of them... it feels fairer than most, and it makes less feel like more. The game flow very quickly without any knockdowns or lengthy combos. Captain Commando is another one of my very favorites, but after playing way too much of it, some parts really wear on me a bit, like the two gun dude bosses at the end of the water base level, and doing the bonus level for the 80th time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuySan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 also an awesome game. I have a video scheduled for it once it comes up alphabetically [emoji4]King of dragons is pretty much magic sword with a z axis. So it feels like a different genre, and not exactly comparable.
