Iron Commando is a belt-scrolling beat 'em up video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System by French developer Arcade Zone. It was scheduled to be released in Europe by Sony Electronic Publishing (who also published Arcade Zone's previous title, Legend) sometime between 1994 and 1995, but was cancelled after Sony discontinued its third-party publishing business on the Super NES in order to focus on the PlayStation, leaving the title orphaned without a publisher.[1] However, a Japanese localization was still produced and published by Pack-In-Video's Poppo subsidiary under the title of Iron Commando: Koutetsu no Senshi (アイアンコマンドー 鋼鉄の戦士, Aiankomando Koutetsu no Senshi, lit. Iron Commando: Iron Warriors), which was released on February 10, 1995

Piko Interactive ended up acquiring the international publishing rights to Iron Commando, initially releasing the game digitally on Steam in 2016, before eventually producing a reproduction cartridge for the Super NES in 2017.[2] BlazePro also produced a reproduction the Super Famicom version for the Japanese market during the same year.

Gameplay

A soldier named Jack and a kung-fu master named Chang Li are the Iron Commando field team. They must cross ten different environments to save the world, fighting against punks, gunfighters, knights and any kind of strange creatures.

Reception

Famitsu gave the SFC version a 20/40.[3]
