One of Capcom’s finest arcade games makes it to iPhone and although playable enough, it’s something of a missed opportunity

One of Capcom’s finest arcade games makes it to iPhone and although playable enough, it’s something of a missed opportunity. Great to look at, the trouble is it manages the rare double whammy of being too short yet also too difficult, something that’s compounded by the sluggish touchscreen controls.

However once you’re compensated for this, the boss battles are undeniably fun and challenging. There’s also the idea of six power-up upgrades to be downloadable from iTunes at 50p each.

It’s a weird addition to a platform game but surely prophetic as developers try to squeeze more from their otherwise underpriced efforts.
