    I'm surprised you didn't mention that not only does Captain Commando feel similar to Final Fight, but in the intro it tells you that the setting is Metro City in the future, which of course is where Mike Haggar was mayor all those years back!

    Great retrospective! This was one of my favorite FF-style arcade games, so I was extra-excited to find out the story behind it.
    One tiny addition - 'Mack The Knife' is a song from the musical 'Threepenny Opera', by Kurt Weill and Bertholt Brecht. It would later become a standard due to the recordings you mentioned - and it later inspired short-lived MacDonald's Spokesman 'Mac Tonight', as well as a classic Far Side Cartoon.

    Captain Commando actually holds special memories for me as the Snes version is the very first rom I ever emulated back in 2000, recommended by a guy who was playing it in my GCSE Computer Science class.

    So Captain Commando shortens to Capcom, so would Ninja Commando be Nincom...does that mean when he goes to the bathroom it's a...Nincompoop?

    I played this character in MvC for years. I finally got to purchase this game this week and was shocked at how brutal it was. It is literally robocop the video game with gore, brutal attacks, and other kinds of death for kids

    8:16 Ginzu's alternate name is Sho, not Ninja Commando. The "Commando" moniker are titles, so Baby Head/Hoover is Baby Commando, Mack the Knife/Jennety is Mummy Commando, and Ginzu/Sho is Ninja Commando.

    Mac The Knife goes even further back than those songs - they are referencing the play Three Penny Opera by Bertolt Brech (Alabama Song, originally comes from him and Kurt Weill).

  • @kingwiku9735
    @kingwiku9735 7 років тому

    DJ Slopes, thanks so much for doing a CH on Cappy Commandy! I played it in the arcade in Japan when it first came out, and was such a HUGE fan! It was, as you mentioned, from an era where side scrolling beat'em ups were everywhere, and I recall capcom having 3 others circulating arcades at the time Final Fight, King of Dragons, & Knights of the Round. This one really stood out to me, as I had NO idea what to expect at every turn. They went from modern day, to feudal Japan, to prehistoric times, it was CRAZY! Since Cap Commando was really an unknown character, they weren't really held to any specific plot, so it was all quite crazy!
    When I got back to the states, I told my friends about it, but no one believed me! (pre (consumer) internet)

    I played Captain Commando with only two players in the arcade. This was early 1993 so it was kinda an older games. It was in the corner and not really featured because Mortal Kombat was the hot new game. I was still into this and the X-Men beat em up styles in that arcade.

    • @LeeONardo
      @LeeONardo 7 років тому +1

      Apparently she was placed in MVC3 and replaced him from being in it, which sucks as Viper is not popular but Capcom were forcing it to happen (which never works) when people actually wanted Juri from Super SF4.
      Cap should always be in the Marvel series as he is Capcom's actual superhero!

    @ARCWuLF 6 років тому

    My hypothesis (I write this like there's any research or insight backing it, but no; it's just my own tangential observation):
    The soldier in the NES game "Bionic Commando" is Captain Commando.
    No, hear me out --
    1.) The NES game is the sequel to the arcade game ("Bionic Commando/Bionic Commandos") which starred a character which was renamed 'Super Joe' after the character in the original 'Commando' game (which later split the timeline and became "M.E.R.C.s" and "Wolf of the Battlefield").
    2.) Everyone seems to think that the character in the NES version of "Bionic Commando" is a guy named 'Rad Spencer,' but this is WRONG. The character is only ever referred to in the instruction booklet as "Our brave man" and in the game is only ever referred to as 'Captain.' The name 'Rad Spencer' wasn't introduced until the Game Boy version of 'Bionic Commando,' which while having essentially the same story is a re-imagining and does not take place in the same universe as the original (there is a reference to a 'Ladd' in the original game, but there's no indication that it's the Captain speaking and could just as easily be referring to the helicopter pilot or another solider).
    3.) The characters share several physical attributes, such as: Arm-mounted bionic enhancements, spiky/wavy hair, and an affinity for sunglasses. Hair color, physique, and the nature of the bionic upgrades could be due to the passage of time between the games.
    4.) The NES game is being told from Super Joe's recollection, meaning that it could be an origin story of sorts for Captain Commando's rise to the level of superhero.
    Now, granted 'Bionic Commando Re-Armed" and "Bionic Commando 2009" have fleshed out the story a bit more and reaffirmed the 'Rad/Nathan Spencer' identity, but those games made Super Joe a mustache-twirling villain and gave us the 'wife-arm' so F*** THEM AND THEIR MOTHERF***ING WRITERS!

    I'm surprised you guys went through the trouble of translating the story from the Japanese flyer, considering there's an English version of the same flyer with perfectly localized versions of the same story and character bios.
    flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=182
    The U.S. cabinet was different by the way.
    www.flyerfever.com/post/98284225328/captain-commando
    Also, I wouldn't dismiss the similarities between Captain Commando and the original Commando to be a coincidence, considering Commando was a pretty popular game at the time. The original Japanese titles for Commando and Bionic Commando were different (Senjō no Ōkami and Top Secret respectively). No doubt Capcom wanted to create a connection between all three in the U.S.

Although to be fair, modern Capcom does a pretty bad job using their IP's. Hell, you be lucky to even get a collection or a compilation of those old games. Like at least Megaman has the Legacy collections. Where's a good port of this arcade game?

  • @PikaLink91
    @PikaLink91 4 роки тому

    When I played Marvel vs. Capcom 2 with the boys way back in the day, they had me believe that Captain Commando was actually part of a three man team called the Pinball Boys, because it sounded like he said "pinball" every time he attacked in the game. And you know, with this being the early 2000 with no immediate access to the internet and certainly no smartphones, I had no way of checking up on his claims. Plus I was a naive as fuck kid who believed almost everything you told me, because I didn't believe people would have any reason to lie to me.
    You can probably see why april 1st is still to this day my most hated day of the year. Not only because I am still as gulible as ever, but also because I do not understand for the life of me why we have a whole day dedicated to lying".

      No, you got it wrong, too. The song, the original German version, was written by Brecht and Kurt Weill for the stage play. So the song is the original source of the character. Of course, the video still got it wrong, since it's not a song by Louis Armstrong.
