If you own a NEOGEO and are feeling a little left out then worry not, as the iconic 1991 Capcom arcade classic called 'Midnight Wanderers' is making an unexpected comeback on SNK hardware thanks to homebrew developer Domkid of the Z-TEAM. Built using Earok's versatile Scorpion Engine, this ambitious project brings the beloved platformer to the NEO-GEO AES, MVS, and NEO-GEO CD systems. Although it's not a 1/1 port of Capcom's CPS1 arcade game, it is very similar and still looks bloody good.
Originally debuting as the first entry in Capcom's famous Three Wonders trilogy cabinet, Midnight Wanderers is celebrated for its stunning visual style. Players control Lou through a magical, vibrant fantasy landscape packed with environmental hazards and enemy threats. The game preserves its high-stakes health system however as Lou can only survive two hits, losing his clothes on the first blow and his life on the second. While the project captures the exact enchanting atmosphere and shimmering aesthetics of the original, the developer notes that this is a dedicated reimagining rather than a strict 1/1 port of the CPS1 arcade hardware.
