About this game

Cannon Spike, known as Gunspike in Japan, is an overhead-camera action shooter inspired by games such as Smash TV and Capcom's Commando series.

Released in 1999 for arcades and later for the Sega Dreamcast, the game runs on Sega Naomi hardware and follows a linear structure centered heavily on boss encounters. Its standout feature is a playable roster drawn from familiar Capcom franchises, including Cammy from Street Fighter.
