The Story Behind Cannon Spike
Capcom released Cannon Spike for the Sega NAOMI in 2000.
Cannon Spike is a multi-directional shooter arcade game released in 2000 by Psikyo and later in the same year for the Dreamcast by Capcom. It uses Capcom-designed characters and runs on Sega's Naomi Hardware. The international title, Cannon Spike, is the name of a trademark attack performed by Cammy, a character from the Street Fighter series of video games and one of the protagonists of this title.
What You'll Play
Cannon Spike is a shoot 'em up game for 2 players, played full-speed in the free RetroPlayers.Club Player with its Controller Mapping panel.
These include Cammy and Charlie from the Street Fighter series; Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins; the original characters Shiba Shintaro and Simone, based on Siva from Midnight Wanderers and Linn Kurosawa from Alien vs. Predator respectively; and the secret characters Baby Bonnie Hood from Darkstalkers and Mega Man. Cannon Spike is played using a joystick and three buttons; Mark (used to lock onto a targeted enemy), Shoot, and Attack (a close-range strike, usually more powerful or with greater knock-back compared to ordinary shooting). The game features seven playable characters, each of which originates from or is inspired by other Capcom games.
Why It Still Hits
Cannon Spike reached Sega NAOMI players in 2000 as a shoot 'em up game, and the reviews and rankings below are what it is still loaded up for.
Greg Orlando of NextGen said that the game was "not quite artillerific, but it is a mindlessly fun way to murder some time." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 30 out of 40. Electronic Gaming Monthly and Game Informer gave it average reviews, months before its U.S. release.
