Ultimate, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020).

JOE: WRATH OF COBRA is made by a team of superfans who worked tirelessly to authentically pay homage to one of the greatest series of all time.” said Kerry Vandenberg, co-founder of Maple Powered Games. “Each element, from the art to the cutscenes, to the music, has been inspired by the classic line of action figures and the Real American Hero versions of the iconic franchise. Our team plans to keep supporting the game post-launch with a selection of free content and additions. With a franchise as massive as this the sky's the limit.”
