While King of Dragons and Knights of the Round used fantasy to differentiate them Captain Commando used American superheroes as its archetype. This was an interesting period for Capcom as they were fresh off the success of Final Fight and keen to follow it up immediately with a variety of arcade beat em ups. While the SNES port of Captain Commando saw release in 1995 its arcade debut was in 1991. This late SNES release is a decent port of the arcade game but extremely hard to find. Nowadays everyone remembers the good Captain for his appearance in Marvel vs Capcom but he also starred in his own game as well. If you can believe it the goofy American superhero stereotype was used to shill Capcom products in the US before Mega Man came along. Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Released: 1995 Genre: Beat em upĬaptain Commando was once the official mascot for Capcom.
