Ikari III: The Rescue
Ikari III: The Rescue (also known as Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue), simply known as Ikari III (怒III) in Japan, is a 1989 run and gun video game developed and published by SNK for arcades. It was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System, MS-DOS and Commodore 64. It is the third and final installment of the Ikari Warriors series after Ikari Warriors and Victory Road. The NES version was shown at the 1991 CES.
While the game still uses the rotary joystick, a version exists that forgoes the rotary feature altogether. The weapon selection is greatly reduced from previous games, and there are no player usable vehicles. Weapons are much rarer, which makes the game more focused on hand-to-hand combat consisting of punching, kicking, jump kicks and roundhouse kicks.
The NES console version maintains the characters design and basic gameplay from the arcade version with a variety of enemies and weapons and life bars for the players. The NES version plot is slightly different from the arcade version: there is an expanded background, the Ikari Warriors are named Paul and Vince, the kidnapped child is a girl instead of a boy, and there is an exclusive fourth side-scrolling shooter stage which has the warriors scuba-diving.
The game is included in SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. Hamster Corporation released the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on March 26, 2020.
