Press release:
Stuttgart, Germany – April 3, 2023.
ININ Games are today very happy and thrilled to announce that their action jump-and-run arcade game “Cannon Dancer” (also known as “Osman” in the West), is coming digitally & physically for consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) on April 13th, 2023.

Almost 30 years after its release on arcade, ININ Games teamed up with two key members of the original development team to finally bring the game to modern home consoles: the game designer Kouichi Yotsui (also known as “Isuke” and famous for his work on “Strider”) and the artist Utata Kiyoshi. ININ’s development team worked on bringing you the best iteration you’ve ever seen, adding features and enhancements that weren’t available in the original Arcade game.

This new, faithfully ported version of Cannon Dancer can be played with in-game English language, or the original Japanese, with both being playable in standard & challenge mode.

Of the many subtle enhancements, the main ones are:

Save States

Rewind Feature

Controller Vibration

Customizable Controls

Graphic Filters & Shaders

Double Jump

Invincible Jump

Invincible Slide

Invincible Attack

Auto Attack [Speed 1 – 5]
