Editing Commando (video game) (section)

===Sequels and successors===
''Commando'' was followed by a sequel titled ''[[Mercs]]'' in [[1989 in video gaming|1989]], which was known as ''Senjō no Ōkami II'' in Japan. However, it was not as successful as ''Commando'' or ''Ikari Warriors''. Tokuro Fujiwara was disappointed that he did not develop a ''Commando'' sequel sooner, as the arcade market already had numerous ''Commando'' imitators by the time ''Mercs'' released.<ref name="Continue12"/><ref name="Continue0"/> A second sequel, ''[[Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3]]'' was released as a downloadable title for the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] and the [[PlayStation Network]] in [[2008 in video gaming|2008]].

Outside Japan, the arcade version of ''[[Bionic Commando (arcade game)|Bionic Commando]]'' was marketed as a sequel to ''Commando'' and the main character, a nameless soldier in the game, is identified as "Super Joe" in an American brochure for the game. Super Joe would appear as an actual supporting character in the later versions of ''[[Bionic Commando (NES)|Bionic Commando]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy]], as well as in ''[[Bionic Commando: Elite Forces]]''. In the [[2009 in video gaming|2009]] version of ''[[Bionic Commando (2009 video game)|Bionic Commando]]'' for the [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]], the character of Super Joe is identified as Joseph Gibson, one of the three player characters in ''Mercs''.

The game ''Duet'' by Elite Systems Ltd was also called first "Commando '86" then "Commando '87".<ref>{{WoS game|id=0001534|name=Duet}}</ref>
