They did that in the first MvC too. Both the Captain Sword and the Captain Storm attacks summon the whole group to perform them, though MvC2 seemed to capitalize a bit more on the group as a whole, as I think they can sometimes appear striking a victory pose together after winning. Also, in both MvC games, Captain can summon each member of the team separately for an attack: Jennety (Mack, in the US version) glides through the upper part of the screen spinning with his knives like his special attack in the original game, Sho (Ginzu, in the US version) jumps into attack with his sword, and Hoover (Baby Head, in the US version) appears shooting a rocket against the opponent.

Own this game as part of the Capcom Beat"em Uo Collection & remember playing this at my local arcade back in the day. Always loved the design of Captain Commando, Baby Head & Jack the Knife. I always wished Capcom would do a Captain Commando game for modern consoles; perhaps a 3rd person high action game by Clover Studios (now Platinum Games). Instead of making another Resident Evil Remake, it would be nice if Capcom went back to their library & made new games w/their more popular characters from the past.

The manga version did explain Hoover's origin, but I think it was in Volume 2. They also added some background for pretty much every character that appeared in the game and even added a few more that were manga exclusive. Sadly, those mangas seem a bit pricey nowadays and they are not very common either, but someone scanned and uploaded both existing volumes a while back.

My personal hypothesis is that the character in the NES game "Bionic Commando" is Captain Commando. Check it: The character in the game is only ever referred to as "Captain," not "Rad" (which he is first referred to as in the later Game Boy release). There is a reference to "Ladd" in the game's ending, but it is not made clear who this is referring to (I always thought that it was the helicopter pilot). The ending is played as an old Super Joe recounting the origin story of another great hero. Also, both characters have bionic arms, similar haircuts, and a penchant for visor-style sunglasses. It just seems like an idea that diverged at some point, but something to consider.

There is a 4 player option on the PS1 port, but you have to enter a code to unlock it in the options menu. From GameFAQ's (and the code does work) Press Square + Triangle + Circle + X when the warning appears on the opening screen (it has one just like the arcade version has). In the option menu, in game options, press the square button to access the menu on the right, if the code is done correctly, you can change players up to 4, viola, 4 player mode.

I've played fatal fury on sega before I played art of fighting the arcade game and was instantly hooked on its mechanics and challenging gameplay back in 93. I was kiat introducing my 9 yr old daughter to captain commando yesterday on ps4 and she liked it! Loved the samurai shodown, tmnt torment fighters and I had the Sega version because my parents couldn't find it for christmas back in 95 which was fine... tho I could only beat it with Casey Jones lol. As a 10 yr old I immediately caught on that Robert Garcia was inspired by Steven seagal but nobody believed me so thanks for putting it out there. Your final fight videos are spectacular too along with snk, so, marvel vs capcom, and I cant wait for aliens vs Predator!!

You can check also in the button config if a Player 4 setting is displayed. the downside of this mode is that tends to lag if there's too much action.*

Its from the first beat em ups i played and made me go deeper to the genre by searching on the coin ops other trying to compare their values.But it is a really interesting fact that captain was essentially at first a mascot hidden inside booklets introducing the games etc! That i didn't know and also the fact that this was the metro city in the future as well,never stopped to read the story of the game since i consider it as a whole not that interesting,having that B movie trope of a dystopian era since it is strongly being showed in the game as a whole.But back in the day we decipher that capcom used this name captain comando by their company name cap-com pretty clever if you ask me showing hinds of what they were somehow planning as company.When i got the chance i found this game as a first port from the arcades on snes,and though a pretty good port it lacked one of the big aspects of the original arcade.Though they were claiming that they had the robot walkers in the games booklet the snes version couldn't handle probably the burden of the animations? I am not sure but the robot walkers missing from there and i was like-AW this sucks!!! The next version i played on my hacked Psone was in copy captain comando which was a much better port for the stronger playstation and watching it like my pupil of my eyes not to be ruined because i had allot of love about this game.One of the games that put me even deeper to capcom as a company!

It's weird how electronics companies just gave up on 3D TV before a winner emerged in the format war. I was waiting it out to avoid being stuck with the 3D TV equivalent of Betamax. I would have bought a 3D TV if they had settled on a single format for the 3D glasses and after the prices had come down.

CAPCOM: "While others design games around existing heroes; CAPCOM designs original blockbuster titles like FINAL FIGHT and STREET FIGHTER 2" Also CAPCOM: Spends the next 3 years making a fortune off recycling 4 "bigger and better" variations of SF2

Sometimes I think space themed scifi taking place so soon sounds stupid like you said, but then you realize we first landed on the Moon in 1969. It's no wonder so many creators thought by the 2020s we'd be way more advanced and would have gone much further. Granted we have, with rovers and probes, but it's not the same...

At the time, science & technology were growing rapidly. It's no surprise that they would expect it to continue to grow exponentially to the point where we would have space ships, hovercrafts, & what not.

It'd be awesome to see a video on the Rushing Beat series (especially since its USA releases all got re-titled), or Undercover Cop. Or even the western beat em ups, like Maximum Carnage!

I played this game on my PSP some years back. I liked it. i later played the PlayStation version with the arranged soundtrack, but i didn't really care for it. Mainly because most songs aren't arrangents of the original game's soundtrack,they were completely new.

I'd like to think that Metro City got better after the Final Fight series, but went back downhill after Haggar left office. Granted, I can't PROVE that...

I got into Captain Commando after his appearance in Marvel vs Capcom. It's a fun beat em up from a golden age of beat em ups. I was completely unaware that the game took place in futuristic Metro City(I should have paid attention during the intro) Btw I always get a kick out of hearing Top Hat Gaming man say "Fatty Fatty Boom Boom" lol

It would be great to see you talk about Princess Daisy as the missing Nintendo mascot during the 1990's.

I miss Captain Commando so much. I really did wish he was present on Umvc3 and have a new 3D game. Too bad Capcom is great on forgetting their other games
