Cannon Dancer - Limited Edition Announcement
Ойындар
Cannon Dancer - Limited and Collector's Editions will be available for pre-order from 18 September - Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5!
After being released during the 90s fighting-game hype Cannon Dancer, also known as “Osman” in the US, slowly began to fade out of arcades due to the small number of units. Over the years, the title became a video game legend, with fans around the globe interested in getting their hands on it. Almost 30 years later, ININ Games has teamed up with two key members of the original development team to finally bring the game to modern home consoles: the game designer Kouichi Yotsui (also known as "Isuke" and famous for his work on “Strider”) and the artist Takashi Kogure (better known as “Utata Kiyoshi”).
The Collector’s Edition will include the following:
- Cannon Dancer Game + Game Manual
- High-quality Collector’s Edition Box
- Artbook (B5)
- Soundtrack in Jewel Case
- Tenugui (Japanese-style towel)
- Arcade Coin
- Acrylic Diorama
- Reversible Poster (A2)
- Arcade Instruction Flyer (A5)
- Calendar & Photo Frame (metal) with 2023 Calendar
- Postcards
- Marquee Sticker
About Cannon Dancer:
Cannon Dancer is an Action Jump & Run set in a dystopian late 21st century, in which the world is under the control of a single federal government. One day, a new threat known as "Abdullah the Slaver" - an evil sorceress who wants to take control of the world - appears, causing widespread terror and panic. This fear incites the abandonment of all economic activity and corruption in the government, which now undermines the foundations of society itself. Judicial Affairs Director, Jack Layzon, fears the worst and summons a lone assassin.
The player controls a Cannon Dancer called Kirin; a top-class agent in a mercenary unit known as "Teki”, and a highly skilled martial arts fighter. As he travels, he has to face not only Abdullah the Slaver and the government forces but also the other members of the Teki, who want him dead for personal reasons.
Features:
- Ported on modern consoles for the first time in history
- Classic retro games mechanics, praised for their speed and agility
- A total of six stages set in different, exotic locations
- Three different types of power-ups
- Tons of bosses and enemies
- Variety of wondrous retro scenarios and graphics with bright and even psychedelic colors, related to the final bosses of each stage
- Rewind feature
- Save and Load feature

Funniest comment I've read all day. Sad, but true!
So cool to see this getting a home port. This is the closest thing to what Strider 2 from Kouichi Yotsui would have been. The main difference is that this guy kicks instead of using the Cypher sword, since Capcom own the rights to Strider Hiryu and everything connected to it.

Strider is also co-owned by Moto Kikaku, a manga group led by Hiroshi Motomiya
Looks like the standard edition is finally shipping, can't wait to play it once it arrives in the UK
Finally! (insert "shut up and take my money" meme)
Amazing! This is the kind of stuff I crave! Cheers SLG!
Great initiative to release an unknown arcade game. We want more !!
I always wanted to see a sprite edit that replaces Kirin with Strider
This looks sick! Definitely grabbing this bad boy!
Looks & sounds like it should be called "Lords of Strider". 😎
My calendar is missing. Have the frame but nothing else from the limited edition. The paper is missing for in the frame. Buyed in switzerland
I own the JAMMA PCB, but this looks as if it might be a bit easier to share with friends.
I wonder if the soundtrack will be remastered?
Very good game but ridiculously short
Strider
And of course, no Xbox smh
the japanese cover is clearly better :(

Some of us actually want to support the devs who made this game instead of stealing from them. Sure it came out in '96 in the arcades but the devs did the work regardless. Plus if this sells enough we could get a remake or sequel
