Capcom 1942 remake out this month News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Capcom plans to take us back to World War II by unleashing 1942: Joint Strike at the end of the month.
This is the old arcade blaster being remade by Backbone Entertainment (of Commando 3 fame) for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. The former will get it on Wednesday 23rd July, and the latter a day later.
The 2D top-down shooter charms of 1942: Joint Strike are being revamped to sport 3D graphics and online co-operative fun. There's new music in it from Norihiko Hibino, who worked on the Metal Gear series.
Chocks away.
Are you excited about 1942: Joint Strike on PlayStation 3/Xbox 360?

Edge said the gameplay totally fails in widescreen, gave CWotB higher marks.

Commando 3 was fine, nothing wow or whatever but it made me complete it atleast. as for this 1942 thing, the first was a classic, 1943 sucked rats ass and there was one remake in the 90's (which i can't remeber the name of..was it 1941-II ?) which was pretty darn good!. i have high hopes for this although i never thought it would be a AAA title or anything. hopefully its got online multiplayer :)

ToAks.
It was called 19XX and was great. Not made by Capcom though but by a company called Raizing. They also did Battle Garegga amongst others. I'll be avoiding this as the footage they released on XBLA a while back looks rubbish. They did one called 1941 also though which was OK but not outstanding.

@ Bill. Strikers 1945 1 to 3 was made by Psikyo who also did the Gunbird games.
Their games tend to be quite dull I find and don't come anywhere the shooters made by Cave and Raizing. @ ToAks. Get hold of horizontal shooter Pro-Gear for MAME. That's awesome. Made by CAVE also and often overlooked as it was released by Capcom. |
