Die 'Inoffizielle Strider-Fortsetzung’ Cannon Dancer kommt endlich für Konsolen

As we’re only weeks away from this year’s Tokyo Game Show, we’re starting to find out what games developers and publishers will be showing off at the annual convention. And amidst Konami’s line-up — which includes multiple Yu-Gi-Oh! Spiele, Super Bomberman R 2, und Kaffee-Talk-Episode 2 — is the surprise return of a forgotten classic — Cannon Dancer.

Bekannt als Osman in Japan, the game was created by Kouichi “Isuke” Yotsui, who worked as a designer on Capcom classic Battles. Our friends over at Zeitverlängerung spotted the game in a listing shared by Twitter user @ohfivepro. What makes this so special? Nun, Cannon Dancer was an arcade exclusive back in 1996, and Isuke considered it “sein” sequel to the classic side-scrolling action game. So this is the very first time we’re getting this game on home consoles.

Developed by Mitchell Corporation, Cannon Dancer is set in a neon-cyberpunk Arabian world, and the plot is supposedly Isuke poking fun at his time at Capcom. And it’s an absolute stunner of a game, too — though we’re not surprised given how fantastic Strider is.

So far, no release date has been set for this console port — which is coming to Switch and PS4 — nor do we even know if it’s coming out in the west yet. Aber die Tokyo Game Show ist nur noch wenige Wochen entfernt (15September), da werden wir sicher noch mehr infos bekommen.

Hast du schon einmal Cannon-Dancer gespielt?? Hoffen Sie, dass diese Veröffentlichung im Westen herauskommt?? Lass uns wissen!
