Saturday Night Slam Masters
マッスルボマー THE BODY EXPLOSION · Muscle Bomber The Body Explosion
Muscle Bomber The Body Explosion hit Japanese arcades in July 1993, and was released in the West as Saturday Night Slam Masters. Hara handled the character design, a Capcom commission passed on to him by Kazuhiko Torishima, former deputy editor of Weekly Shonen Jump and by then head of V Jump. In the arcade, his drawings served as promotional art, on the flyer and the poster, while the sprites were made by Capcom’s team. The Super Famicom version, released on 30 March 1994, featured his illustrations on the box and in the manual, and the console versions reportedly also used them in the game itself, in the opening demo and the fighters’ portraits.
