Side-Scrolling Beat 'Em Up 'Wonder Momo' Is The Next Arcade Archives Game Nintendo Life Peachy by Share: Image: Bandai Namco Namco's beat 'em up parody of Ultraman, , is the next game coming to the Arcade Archives series on Switch, according to on Twitter. First released in 1987 in Japanese arcades at a time when female protagonists were uncommon, Wonder Momo got a faithful PC-Engine port two years later. The game stars a young girl who is playing the character of 'Momo', a schoolgirl who acquires superpowers, in a stage play. She becomes Wonder Momo when she builds up her Wonder meter with kicks and can transform into the titular hero by spinning around. - ohfivepro (@ohfivepro) We haven't seen much of Wonder Momo since, though she did get her own internet comic strip and anime mini-series in 2012 and 2014 respectively. A direct sequel in 1993 was cancelled, and WayForward brought an Android and Mac game came out in 2014, which was delisted a year later. Some fans might remember a few little cameos in a few Bandai Namco RPGs, though; she appears as a Magnus card in (which takes 80 hours of playtime to acquire), and Anise Tatlin from has a doll styled after her. Wonder Momo launches on 31st March on the Switch eShop. Will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments! on Share: About RPG lover first and Nintendo fan second, Alana is often found overthinking battle strategies, characters, and stories. Fortunately, she’s also easily pleased by anything Yoshi-related, creepy-but-cute Pokémon, and SEGA air pirates. Comments ) Neat, consider me in the market, if mainly thanks to my acquaintance with the character in Namco x Capcom. I guess crossover games' marketing potential does exist. Great !!
And now that Namco games is coming, The Legend of Valkyrie can be a option?, Please?! More recently, Wonder Momo was also one of the themes in Pac-Man 99. I think I'll skip this one. It's like a PG rated Altered Beast. Omg?! YES PLEASE.
I love love love seeing Namco digging deep into their arcade library for Hamster's re-releases. Really fun to see obscure titles resurfacing after so many decades. That looks really good and has some really nice graphics for a 1989 game. I hope it comes too.
And what are you on about? There's no "committee." I mean, here we are in 2022 and a game like this - the exact game, in fact - is literally getting re-released. that looks great! These are the kind of arcade games I'd like to on Switch I just love the classic 80-90s anime style arts. Those were glorious days I think I remember playing this a bit in the Namco collections on PS1, and it was decent fun. Psycho Soldier in SNK's 40th Anniversary Collection reminded me of Momo, now that I think about it. A little ecchi, but hey at least we got heroic female protagonists! Hamster bringing classic Namco games to Switch is a real treat, even if I can't help but wish for a nice physical collection or 2 of them. I'd love to see Assault.
I just looked up The Legend of Valkyrie and most definitely that is one I would love to see Hamster port!! Seems kinda interesting and I like how silly it looks. I think I’ll get this. I thought I was the only one who could do that splits kick move! Wonder Momooooooo! Is being able to read the text important to Valkyrie. It looks at least maybe needed.
As I understand, the only English release was the PS1 Namco Museum Vol. 5 port. I doubt this game fit the social norms of 1987, either. Can't say I want to play it, but her theme music after she does her henshin is pretty catchy. I agree with OorWullie. Gameplay-wise the game is like Namco's own version of Altered Beast (and Altered Beast sucked ). I do like the character herself though. I also agree with SakuraHaruka on The Legend of Valkyrie. Now there is a old-school Namco game I miss. I remember this having a mediocre YouTube anime, alongside overly self-aware Bravo Man series and surprisingly good despite cheap animation Mappy. I really wish these games were $4-$5 I personally would buy at least 1 per month. I bet others would buy more often too with a cheaper price tag.
I agree a lower price would be nice! No doubt I’d have bought more by now if they were $5 a game. Also, FOLDERS. It would be a lot more satisfying to sort your purchases into a growing folder of arcade goodness. Nintendo, can’t you throw us this little bone? i'm getting Nes Kung Fu vibes ~ Hopefully this means The Legend of Valyerie is also coming. I've been settling for the theme on Pac-Man 99, but I want the real deal. so maybe I might try this
I just popped on the Eshop to see what this week's Arcade Archives release is and would you believe it, it's The Legend of Valkyrie. quick, suggest more hidden arcade gems! I was asking for Red Earth towards the end of last year, a pretty obscure Capcom fighter and then it was announced as part of the new Capcom Fighting Collection. I can't think of any other obscure ones at the moment but I have been asking for a SEGA 90's Arcade collection since the Switch launched.
Yes it was great to hear Valkyrie announced this week! I thought of this thread here immediately. I’ll pick it up soon. Can we request Namco’s Assault next, or Konami’s Dark Labyrinth, or UN Squadron, or a collection of Midway games? Coincidentally, I had begged Nintendo for folders in this thread, too… ? I noticed the folder request too. If Assault arrives next week then it seems you have magical powers.
I can only wish (for Assault or magical powers)! Really I was thinking this comments thread itself was charmed somehow, since Valkyrie and folders both came true. ? Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to to post a comment...
