Item Description
Captain Commando is one of Capcom's best-loved side-scrolling beat 'em ups, first lighting up arcades in 1991 before reaching the Super Nintendo in 1995. The hero himself has a history that goes deeper than most players realize. He began in the late 1980s as the mascot Capcom's North American branch printed on its NES game boxes, the first three letters of each half of his name spelling out "Cap Com", until the rise of Mega Man and Street Fighter's Ryu made him redundant. When Capcom's designers went looking for a hero for a new four-player brawler, they rediscovered him, and artist Akiman reimagined him as a comic-book space hero leading his Commando squad against the alien tyrant Scumocide and his Super Criminals in a futuristic Metro City.
The cast of playable characters is one of the game's most memorable strengths. Beyond the Captain himself, you can choose Ginzu the ninja, the only fighter who can throw shuriken; Baby Head, an infant genius piloting a robot of his own design, because Capcom in the early nineties had no ceiling; and Mack the Knife, a mummy-like alien who fights with a pair of knives. Each character has a distinct set of moves and his own weapon, giving the game real replay value as you experiment with different playstyles across the same punishing gauntlet of enemies.
The Super Nintendo version naturally couldn't replicate everything from the arcade original: it supports two players instead of four and puts fewer enemies on screen at once. But it captures the spirit and energy of the experience remarkably well for the hardware. The stages are varied, the music thumps along with that characteristic Capcom rhythm, and the enemy variety keeps you on your toes. If you grew up playing Final Fight on the SNES and wanted something with a little more sci-fi flair and a bigger character roster, Captain Commando scratches that exact itch, and it even shares Final Fight's Metro City setting.
It never got the same household-name recognition as some of its Capcom stablemates, which makes it one of the deeper cuts of the SNES library: a fun two-player couch brawler, and the starring role for a character who would later fight alongside Capcom's biggest names in Marvel vs. Capcom.
