One of the rarest games in arcade history delivered to you with a brand-new translation and enhanced features
Today, ININ Games has announced the upcoming release of Cannon Dancer, also known as Osman in the West. On April 13th, 2023, the game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox will have its own digital release.
Two key members of the original development team have teamed up with ININ Games to bring this classic game to modern home consoles. The game designer Kouichi Yotsui, also known as “Isuke,” and artist Utata Kiyoshi have worked together to create the best version of Cannon Dancer possible.
The new version of Cannon Dancer features in-game English and Japanese language, standard and challenge modes, and several subtle enhancements. These include save states, rewind feature, controller vibration, customizable controls, graphic filters and shaders, double jump, and invincible jump, slide, and attack. Additionally, players can choose from five auto attack speeds and receive extra credits.
For those looking for a physical copy of Cannon Dancer, Strictly Limited Games offers a regular Limited Edition and a Collector’s Edition with exclusive items.
ININ Games is excited to finally bring this beloved classic to modern platforms, and hopes that fans will join in on the 13th of April to relive the game.
