Cannon Spike is a 2000 shooting game from the Japanese developer Psikyo, done under license from Capcom. It holds the distinction of being one of the last games released for the Sega Dreamcast, and wasn't released in Europe at all until 2002. Despite reasonable exposure at the time of release, including a cover story◊ in the enthusiast magazine GameFan, it's largely fallen into obscurity. Thankfully, now we can enjoy this title thanks to Emulation for Arcade (MAME) as well for Dreamcast (Chankast, NullDC, etc.)As one might expect from seeing the name Psikyo, Cannon Spike is a twitch shooter. As one of seven characters - Cammy, Charlie, Baby Bonnie Hood, Mega Man, a futuristic version of Arthur, or original characters Shiba Shintaro and Simone - you blast through multiple Capcom-themed stages, firing guns on full-auto while zooming around on rocket skates, skateboards, or in B. B. Hood's case, an old scooter. Two-player co-op is available.Cannon Spike's old website can be seen here thanks to Wayback Machine. The Other Wiki made a modest article about this game here, mistake that Hardcore Gaming 101 thankfully fixed making a full article dedicated to this game here. Also Capcom Wiki has an article about this game here, as well separated character articles for Shiba and Simone.

comment
Anachronism Stew: The game is set in the future, but Arthur comes from Medieval Age, Cammy, Charlie and B. B. Hood comes from the present, and Mega Man comes from a distant future. And even so, all the characters are together in the same plot. And between the SF characters, Charlie comes from Alpha, but Cammy's outfit is from II, in which that time Charlie's dead (at least until Street Fighter V). Subverted with the alternate Cammy's costume, which is Shadaloo's Dolls from Alpha.

Meaningful Name: The name of the game, "Cannon Spike", is also the name of one of Cammy's moves in Street Fighter seriesnote It's her signature move where she performs an upward kick at her opponent. And Cammy is The Protagonist of this game.

Rule of Three
 Cannon Spike (Video Game) / int_a6cda066
comment
Rule of Three: There're 3 buttons to use in the game, Mark (used to lock onto a targeted enemy), Shoot, and Attack (a close-range strike, usually more powerful or with greater knock-back compared to ordinary shooting.) In addition to these basic commands, each character also has a ranged special attack (unleashed by pressing Shoot and Attack simultaneously), a close-range special (Mark and Attack simultaneously), and a super special (all three buttons simultaneously). Also, one of the Boss Battles are made by 3 robots: Rick Blue, Bob Green and Ken Brown.

Genre Mashup: The game is a kind of hybrid between a Shoot 'Em Up and a Beat 'em Up, since despite the characters only attacking with bullets and bombs, the rest of the mechanics of Cannon Spike share similitudes with a classic Beat 'em Up, even having some proper moves, like Cammy and Charlie using some of their fighting moves.

comment
Expy/Shout-Out: Two of the characters strongly resemble characters from other Arcade Games by Capcom. Simone is a lot like Linn Kurosawa from Alien vs. Predator, and Shiba is a redesign of Siva from Three Wonders. Arthur doesn't count as, as his ending shows, it really is him. Even when the comparision has been done in the past, Cammy with his rollerskates looks a lot more like Alita/Gally in her Motorball outfit◊. Shiba has some resemblances with Naruto Uzumaki, considerating Naruto manga started in 1999 and Cannon Spike was made in 2000, this could be possible.
