Capcom announced today that the remake of its classic World War II themed coin-op shooter 1942: Joint Strike will hit the Xbox Live Arcade on July 23, with a release on PlayStation Network following on July 24.
A full-blown remake of the original, Joint Strike features 2-player cooperative play, complete with updated 3D visuals and audio courtesy of developer Backbone Entertainment.
1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the ‘80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble the classic 2D style that gamers expect, but the game utilizes a fully 3D engine. Set in a World War II-themed locale, stages, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences.
