Capcom announced this morning that 1942: Joint Strike (a remake of the classic 194X coin-op games) will be hitting both Xbox Live Arcade in a couple of weeks. The game features upgraded graphics, new music and 2-player online co-op. As someone who dumped plenty of quarters into its predecessors, this will be a must-buy for me. 1942: Joint Strike debuts on XBLA on 7/23.
Capcom wanted to let you know that the highly anticipated shooter 1942: Joint Strike will be releasing soon. The classically inspired vertical arcade shooter 1942: Joint Strike arrives on PSN 7/24 and on XBLA on 7/23.
1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the 80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble the classic 2D style that gamers expect, but the game utilizes a fully 3D engine. Set in a World War II-themed locale, stages, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences.
The new 1942: Joint Strike features 2-player online cooperative play. Graphics and music have been similarly updated by Backbone Entertainment, the developers of this latest entry into the 194X series. Theres also a brand new score for the game created by Norihiko Hibino, an international composer well-known for his work creating music for the Metal Gear series.
