Johnny Turbo Heads For The Kitchen With Super Burger Time

I never played Super, played the original some years back and liked it. I’ll end up getting this and I hope Caveman Ninja(Joe &Mac) isn’t far off from a release.

Loved the Burger Time series back in the day. I might wait for a sale though on this one. Unless they're willing to give me an upfront discount. Because, I will gladly pay them tomorrow for a burger today.

Crickets?

...I need a cheeseburger.

Fourth serving? There’s Bad Dudes, Sly Spy, and now this one. What other game is out there?

@shonenjump86 the first Data East one was that dungeon game...can’t recall the name as I’m not home lol

@Ooyah You are correct sir, my bad!

@shonenjump86 GATE OF DOOM aka DARK SEAL. IIRC.

The original BURGER TIME is one of those quintessential 80s arcade games that I can't help but think of along with PAC-MAN, DONKEY KONG, MOON PATROL etc. Possibly, still DATA EAST's most well-known game?

Never played this sequel but happy to give it a go but it'll have to wait. I'm trying my darnest to put a pause on game buying for at least a few months. Gorged myself non-stop pretty much since the Switch launched 😂

I purchased the Game Boy variant when I was young. One of my first arcade-like experiences. This would bring nostalgic memories.

Never played / seen this game before! I hope we see Ring King soon.

@GrailUK Not in the list I grabbed years ago off the G-Mode website for the full list of Data East properties that they acquired.

Furthermore, KLOV shows Ring King as being a Nihon Bussan release. If that means anything, I wouldn't count on it happening as part of this particular program if all Data East did was license it.

Hamster owns the Nihon Bussan library though, so the news isn't all bad. I assume this stands a good chance of hitting the Arcade Archives lineup, if the KLOV database is correct.

Full disclosure: I wrote up the article and went to Burguer King for lunch.

... what am I doing to my life?

I'm interested in these games, but I hate they cost 1 buck/euro more than Hamster ones and have less options.

If only they, unlike Hamster's, went on sale occasionally...

Hopefully with a side of hey we took off the bilinear filtering!

@Atariboy oh interesting. Before Johnny turbo came on the scene, hamster had announced they had rights to data east games. I'm not going to write it off just yet.

@GrailUK Data East when they broke up had their games tossed to the winds. So it may not be G-Mode that Hamster is working with, since G-Mode only acquired a decent size chunk of their IP.

Karnov and Atomic Runner Chelnov for instance were purchased by the Paon Corporation along with several other Data East titles, for an example of a different company that owns some Data East classics that Hamster may be working with. Createch, Digisoft, and WorkJam are some other companies that were mentioned back then for buying up some of the Data East catalog.

Looking back at some of my old posts just now from back when Data East Arcade Classics released for the Wii, someone replied that they had e-mailed G-Mode about Ring King and gotten a reply that they believed they owned it, but that Namco was disputing the claim (Namco was involved with publishing the Famicom port).

So maybe they do own it.

I never knew they made a sequel to this game, I've only played the original cabinet. Might be worth a spin.

@Obito_Sigma Thanks for reminding me of the Game Boy version. I didn’t have it on Game Boy itself, but purchased it on 3DS years later. I actually prefer the GB version to the arcade original.

I did purchase and pre-load Super Burgertime to the Switch, but have not tried it yet, since it unlocked this morning.

I remember that the PS3 had another Burgertime offshoot. Maybe in a rotating tower format? I think I tried the demo, but it didn’t click with me.

@Shiryu
I think you influenced what many of us will be getting for lunch now

I pre-order this for $6.99, loved Burgertime Deluxe on the GB, looking forward to trying this later !

@Shiryu

Livin’ the burger dream? Hope there was cheese on that.

I’ll def be getting this. Burger Time is an all time classic, I’m sure this won’t disappoint.

I just bought this and when I try to play it, I get a pop up saying that I can't play it yet. I thought it was released today?

This looks really cute! I have a like/hate relationship with Burger Time. Used to play it as a kid.

Stupid trailer. I want a burger now.

I used to play this game on the NES with my Mom. Can’t believe it’s back. Definitely downloading it

@shonenjump86 Don't forget the Q-bert game that was released.

@guamyankee Wimpy reference ftw!

Will slo-mo shots of pretty girls eating burgers ever not be a thing?

Going to be getting this, seems like alot more effort was put into these Johnny Turbo Data East classics then any of the Hamster stuff

Looks like a fun game too.

Maybe we will get the original Burger Time down the road....I still suck at it!! lol

@joey302 @Lroy ah, thanks. I might have to check that out.

@Tempestryke got ya

@shonenjump86 Gate of Doom! That’s it! thx to Lroy’s above post!

@ClassSonicSatAm What makes you think that the Hamster Arcade Archives and Neo Geo releases are lacking in effort? I know the UI and wraparound presentation (e.g. menus, lack of boarder art) of the Hamster arcade releases could do with some sprucing up but the games themselves are emulated to a terrific standard and they all have high-score and Caravan leaderboards.

I'm all for more arcade releases and have bought many of these games from Namco, Hamster, ZeroDiv and now this Johnny Turbo line and hope the increasing number from different publishers can sort of raise the bar for all of them but I certainly wouldn't knock Hamster. They may lack the presentation sizzle of Namco's NAMCO MUSEUM but otherwise they are pretty much the leader of the pack with these arcade titles. The lack of online leaderboards for both ZeroDiv and Johnny Arcade releases is a more significant deficient in my opinion.

@guamyankee You just reminded me that I'll never play Popeye on my Switch.

I honestly had no idea what was going on

@Lroy Because besides having dip switches and the online leader board (which just slows down starting the game due to always trying to connect to the internet when I'm outside or not close to the wi-fi I got to wait a couple of mins just for it to tell me "can't connect" when all I want is just to play the game for a few mins during a break not beat a world record.. XD ) and good emulation (so has the Johnny Turbo line from what I played) they could add more features like the old TV filters like Johnny Turbo has, or have some boarder art (the Neo Geo games on PSP have them so why not the switch and PS4? I know that was M2's work but whats the point of having a boarder art option...with just a blank for all the games)

Also liking we getting alot late 80's games with the Johnny Turbo line that haven't been ported as much. and doing a cool ad like this is awesome.

Like I said I'm not interested with online leaderboards, The games's own high score board is enough, if I want to show off my highscore I'll just use the screen shot feature.

I've played this one. It's alright, but I thought that Burgertime Deluxe on the Game Boy was a better update to the classic formula. From what I've also heard, these Johnny Turbo releases are pretty slapdash efforts which is a shame.

I thought this was gonna be realsed this week in EU eshop?
