Battle Circuit (Japanese: バトルサーキット, Hepburn: Batoru Sākitto) is an action beat 'em up game developed and published by Capcom for the CPS-2 arcade hardware for Japan and Europe in 1997. Taking place in an alternate future earth, the game revolves around a group of bounty hunters who must capture the mad scientist Dr. Saturn and secure a sophisticated computer disc carrying a program known as the "Shiva System". The game contains comic-like characters in a futuristic science fiction setting. Battle Circuit was Capcom's last beat 'em up game developed for the arcades. The game made its home console (and North American) debut in Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on September 18, 2018 digitally for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.[2]
