There is a 3D REMAKE of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs with new features in China. The game is called 《街机恐龙》(Arcade Dinosaur) and will be released in the first half of 2024. For now, it’s in open beta testing and exclusive to the Chinese territory.
Announced for the first time in 2022, the game had a beta test in May 2023 and another one in December of the same year.
It’s worth noting that in China, the franchise has relative success, as it has already received a remaster with improved graphics there. Inspired by the comic book “Xenozoic Tales” and released in arcades as “Cadillacs and Dinosaurs,” this nostalgic franchise marked the 90s generation with lots of fighting and dinosaurs.
The game brings back the four iconic heroes – Mustapha, Hannah, Mess, and Jack – each with their own fighting style and special techniques.
Arcade Dinosaur aims to be quite faithful to the original game, maintaining the frenetic combat and many enemies on the screen. However, a competitive PVP mode will be introduced. It’s in this PVP mode that the game will feature microtransactions to strengthen the characters.
Despite the microtransactions, the game stands out for its 3D visuals and extras like unlocking comic book pages, but it’s strange that there is no mention of CAPCOM on the game’s page.
Gameplay:
Arcade Dinosaur can be played through TapTap, but only if you have a spare Chinese mobile number.
