Dark Void 20 Years In The Making

As the ‘80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top secret project that aimed to set new standards for

the platformer genre.

That game was called “Dark Rift”, and it blended the intense shooting action of Section Z™ with the latest innovations in platform

jumping from Mega Man.

In order to properly fulfill the producer’s vision for Dark Rift (later renamed Dark Void), the hardware engineering team at Capcom

was enlisted to design and produce an all-new chipset that would be included in every cartridge, enabling huge numbers of sprites

and never-before-seen special effects to be displayed on the aging NES® platform and the PlayChoice-10 NES arcade cabinet.

Alas, time waits for no man and game developers are no exception. The dawn of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System®

made the additional hardware requirements for Dark Void redundant. Capcom suspended development on Dark Void

as it began to evaluate the SNES.

Before long, the game was shelved and drifted into the annals of gaming history.

Even the internal tape-based archives were lost due to an unfortunate magnet incident which even today is best left un-discussed.

Dark Void became a legendary “lost project” at Capcom…until now.

Nearly twenty years later the next gen version of the game, Dark Void, is back on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC!

But to commemorate the game’s humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic,

now re-titled “Dark Void Zero,” on the DSi platform.

You play Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth.

With the aid of Nikola Tesla, and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty mYou play Rusty, the first human born in the Void,

who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth.

With the aid of Nikola Tesla, and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions

across three intense levels of action and intrigue.
