Cannon Spike, known as Gun Spike in Japanese arcades, is a multi-directional shooter arcade game released in 2000 by Psikyo and in 2001 for the Sega Dreamcast by Capcom. It uses Capcom-designed characters and runs on Sega's Naomi Hardware. Cannon Spike is similar to games like Smash TV and Capcom's Commando, although with primary focus on boss fighting.
"Cannon Spike" is the name of a trademark attack performed by Cammy, a character from the Street Fighter series of games and one of the protagonists of this title.
[edit] Characters
The game's playable characters, which come from a range of Capcom games, include:
- Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins
- Baby Bonnie Hood (or Bulleta in Japan) from Darkstalkers
- Cammy from the Street Fighter series
- Charlie (or Nash in Japan) from the Street Fighter series
- Mega Man (or Rock Man in Japan) from the Mega Man series
- Shiba Shintaro from Three Wonders
One other character, Simone, was made specifically for the game and hasn't been featured in any game since. Simone shares a few similarities with another Capcom character, Linn Kurosawa, from Alien vs. Predator.
