Why aren't they shooting guns?

This is awesome, I'd love to see other 80's / 90's cartoons get the same treatment. I still can't believe there's gonna be a Toxic Crusader game.

Was kinda hoping for a 2d sidescroller, but this is fine.

I mean the animations look like Flash cartoons (in a bad sense)
All power-ups are Floppy discs? (Placeholders?)
Where are the guns?
Other than that, the gameplay looks nice.

GIJOE games as a 1990s SNES looking side scrolling brawler? God awful.
If they are going to go retro, it would be better if they did a GIJOE inspired version of Commando or Contra.

Yeah that looks kinda milktoast to me.
That said it gives me to an excuse to post the most ridiculously over the top patriotic piece of media ever created.
US Military fighting back against Terrorists at the Statue of liberty on the 4th of July while fireworks are going off in the background.
It's just so absurd how can you not love it?

Fun and maybe obvious fact for Joe fans. They use the theme song from the DiC version of the show for the first stage.
Thankfully they didn't use the same character designs.

The intro and movie is possibly my fav cartoon ever. That along with BTAS and the first 5-6 years of The Simpsons.
I never kept up with anything GIJOE after that time as I outgrew all that GIJOE and Transformers stuff, but still will watch GIJOE The Movie.
Loved Beachhead.
GI Joe would have been the perfect franchise to capitlize on the arena shooter or counter strike type games. So many unique characters. The early comics were very underated and had some great stories. As already posted GI Joe The Movie was an amzing movie and very high animation standards for the time, it was mind blowing and that intro is still out of this world. I feel fortunate to have grown up with GI Joe, Transformers, Robotech, Thundercats, Voltron, Force Five and so many cartoon staples for morning and afternoon TV. Just be happy to get something like this in this day and age. Don Jonhson and Burgess Meredith voice acting, are you kidding me! Spoiled in the 80's.

"Hey you know how with Shredder's Revenge, we adapted a popular 80's cartoon into a side scrolling beat 'em up and it was a massive success?"
"Yeah?"
"Let's do that again."

OP, I'm a fan and both, the flash animation and the gameplay looked godawful.
Hasbro are so clueless about the current status of video games, it's not even funny anymore.
The amount of IP goldmine they're sitting on, dormant, is just too painful to even think about.
I mean, forget Power Rangers and Transformers for now. Just imagine a Storm Shadow or a Snake Eyes standalone J-Action game by Platinum Games like Bayo or MGR. Would do really good numbers if marketed right.

So they are taking all 80s properties and making shallow 2D beatem ups out of them now?
The NES GI Joe games look a thousand times better than this.
GI Joe the (Larry Hama written) comicbook franchise is basically Metal Gear before Metal Gear. Supernatural mixed with militant. Shame no one every really did it justice in game form.

No Jayce and the wheel warriors, mask or skeleton warriors love?
Actually how cool would a visionary's side scroller be where you could use the animal forms for fighting or using them on specific stages!

It looks like you're going to miss half your attacks because the sprit size. I'd love one done with larger character models, Capcom or Konami style. At first it reminded me of Captain America and the Avengers, but without super powers. Which is weird.

It's GI Joe, they'd just miss anyway.
It's unsportsmanlike for a Joe to shoot an attacker. Real Joes fight Cobra with their bear hands.
