The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you a special Sega-16 update: Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, the sequel to the Genesis classic MERCS, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Store. Featuring online co-op play for up to three people and tons of action, this looks to be a great addition to anyone’s run-‘n-gun library. For more details, be sure to read our full preview.
MERCS is a top-down run-‘n-gun a la Ikari Warriors that was released in arcades in the early ’90s. The Genesis version actually 1ups its older sibling by having two separate modes of play: arcade and original. In arcade mode, your mission is to rescue a former U.S. president. In original, you must destroy a foreign nation’s supply of ballistic missiles.
