Get all old school top down style with these swanky new screens from 1942: Joint Strike. A few years and some schmancy HD graphics have really treated this franchise well. Alternative universe World War II never looked so good!

I was going to complain about this being another retro war game, but this looks quite nifty!!
That is one beautiful shooter.
Never played the originals. Looking forward to this, now.
I don't think, aerodynamically, that first boss looking plane would, ya' know, be up there?
I want this. A lot.
@ME55ENGER: You can flip it over to hit it for MASSIVE DAMAGE. It flies the whole time. Capcom likes to piss of engineers.

It could work.

Presenting the FSW (forward swept wing) X29.
It'd require a lot more technical knowhow than they had in 1942, but its entirely possible. FSW designs are a bit unstable, which makes them great fighters and now usually, bombers, lol.
Catchiest NES music of all time, followed by Bionic Commando and Zelda.
Looks fantastic. Capcom is gonig all-out with these remakes. Look like we'll have pelnty more "Prince of Persia classi/Pac Man CE/Jetpac refueled-level remakes to look forward to.
I love you XBLA.

I think this plane is much more beautifull...
OMG this looks soooooo good. I turn this game on every so often just to listen to the music and kill me some badies I love this game thank you Capcom.
@ME55ENGER: one problem with doing an HD upgrade to a retro arcade game- realistic terrains slapped on to a game that featured airplanes the size of a football field.
I remember playing 1942 and 1943 on emulators and dropping lots of quarters on 19XX in my High School days. This looks pretty sweet.
Wow, this game can not make it's way to my hard drive soon enough.
There are finally doing things proper. Capcom is #1, bring on the old-school!!!!
This reminds me of all the SNES and Arcade game i used to play. this and commando 3 are two games i'll be willing to play ASAP.
F'ing SWEET!
This is the best reason yet to buy a PS3.
There's a video on Gametrailers.com, too. I recognized some music from the NES version of 1943. One of my favorite games.
I got it for my NES on Ebay. Then bought an NES Advantage joystick just for it. Don't use the Advantage with any other of my NES games.
@Eltigro:
Why a PS3? Why not a next gen console in general.
And yes, this is great news as I loved 1942 when I was younger. I just hope they improve the music as it was just horrible.
@Mr.Waffleton: They are doing a splendid job are they not? :)
Damn you PSN, accept my credit card already !! !!!!!!
I've spend hundreds and hundreds of Euro on coins for this series.
