The Story Behind Dynamite Cop!
New is a transformation mechanic, where picking up a transformation power-up will transform the character into a new form with a unique moveset. An arcade follow-up, Dynamite Deka EX: Asian Dynamite, was released in 2007. It is the sequel to the 1996 game Dynamite Deka, which was released outside Japan as Die Hard Arcade.
Transformations include pro wrestler, martial artist, jiganshi, shrine maiden, and court jester. A second sequel, Dynamite Deka EX: Asian Dynamite, was released only in arcades. Uchida said Sega Shanghai first developed the Sega Ages 2500 remake of the original Dynamite Deka at a lower cost than a Japanese domestic studio, and that its sales were used to show that the series still had an audience.
What You'll Play
According to Uchida, the project was ultimately approved by then-Sega president Hisao Oguchi on the condition that it not lose money. The game was ported to the Dreamcast and released internationally in 1999, this time without the Die Hard license. The classic Sega arcade game Tranquilizer Gun (1980) is included as a bonus game on the Dreamcast version.
Its main character, Delinger, makes a cameo appearance in The House of the Dead 2 as a playable character via a special item obtainable in the original mode (present in home versions of The House of the Dead 2). Each character has three unique transformations. Clearing all missions enables unlimited play of Tranquilizer Gun.
Why It Still Hits
The game was ported to the Dreamcast and released internationally in 1999, this time without the Die Hard license. The Dreamcast version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. A second sequel, Dynamite Deka EX: Asian Dynamite, was released only in arcades.
Even with the multiple paths, the game has to rely on gimmicky diversions like an art gallery or bonus games to extend its life. Transformations include pro wrestler, martial artist, jiganshi, shrine maiden, and court jester. Jeff Chen of NextGen called the game's Japanese import "An entertaining, if somewhat last-generation-looking, game." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 30 out of 40.
