One of the most awesome arcade games that never got ported due to the unusual controls.

Today with the touch controls on portable devices it would be perfect as a mobile phone game.

Never expected to see fanarts of an anthro character from a very niche arcade game.

What's so complex about the controls? It seems trivial to map it to a keypad.

Because they are very cheap to make and rake in tons of microtransaction money in Japan, which is the same reason Capcom and Squeenix are so interested in the mobile market despite their fanbases absolutely hating it.

The bubble pretty much burst in the west by now, but who knows when it will happen in Japan.

Um. No. This game is nothing like the two games you mentioned. By your reasoning, this game should remind you of every single first person perspective game ever created.

The gameplay of this game is clearly inspired by Whac-a-Mole.

On keyboard via emulator it can be emulated fine but they couldn't port it that well on a console.

>>1627657
Capcom didn't made much money on mobile phones like they expected. Their current console games like the new Ace Attorney sold better.

>>1627714
As long as you live you will always find awesome games you didn't know about before. One game I can recommend you for the time being (since I don't know what kind of games you like) like Gunforce 2.

Looks familiar? No wonder, since it's from the creators of Metal Slug. That's why it's called Metal Slug Zero by some fans.

>Why Taito, why?

Because Square bought them. Square bought and killed Taito in the same way Konami bought and killed Hudson. It also helps that Square and Konami hate the everloving shit out of Nintendo, creating a case of "either you die a hero or live to become the villain". Both companies transformed into this horrifying mutations, and this would not have been the case had they still been under Nintendo's strict control. Sony opened Pandora's box, and now everyone pays for it.

I remember playing this back in 2009. Taito was so good at developing different types of games. I'd love to see the resurgence of arcades in the US again, but you know how everybody is glued to the phones and whatnot.
