I never understood why this game didn't get a sequel! Capcom Quest of Captain Commando. The icon that Capcom created, to represent it in their games!
I need to reaffirm that I never understood why Capcom didn't turn this game into a franchise. The marketing upon the character was huge, with comics and everything else! Commando, was also the guy who came on the manuals congratulating you!
He was designed to be the company's advertising boy, after all the name "Cap"tain "Com"mando makes it clear. But apparently he didn't surpass the Mega Man's popularity, and he just became a cameo for the others company's games. It's kind of sad, actually.
Now talking about the game it's the purest Beat 'em Up, like those that doesn't have any upgrades, only some items like weapons and robots. We have 4 legendary characters to choose, each one with their fighting style!
The story takes place in a "distant" future on 2026 (we're almost there) at MetroCity. Haggar and also Cody now, are retired, so all that remains is to call the Capcom's Power Rangers to clean the city from the bad guys and stop the Scumocide's plan to take the world.
It's a very short game, and hard like its predecessors. I believe the biggest difference is the futuristic design, Capcom did a good job here!
This game has hundreds of fun facts, and the best are about the Ninja Commando! His American name Ginzu, is really a reference from the amazing Ginsu 2000 knives, that one which cuts everything. Also he belongs to the Bushindo Ryu clan, the same as Guy
But that's it, I don't need to recommend you guys play this game because I know everyone already played. Who knows one day Capcom will make a new game, huh?
Nobody has taken your place, big boy xD
