SWAT Kats

[Threaux]

Swat kats is the only other show that I like as much as SPC and in many ways they have a lot in common.  There was a total of 23 Ep's aired and a special 24th that never was released, leading to Ep # confusion. The Swat Kats game for the Super NES is just as hard to find as the KNT famicom game, and the Swat Kats still have a small but dedicated fanbase.
 There is still a "SK" fandom active via a forum not unlike our own.  Swat Kats Lives on!

12/10/2010 - A quick update:
An official DVD set has been released!:www.wbshop.com/Swat-Kats/1000181482,default,pd.html?AID=10811526&PID=3821628

* Special "Kats Eye News report" is called 24 sometimes, but is labled as ep 99, it was never released, but it was finished, Succubus was neither finished or released as far as I can tell

I'd love to see some eps of that again. We should really make a separate SWAT Kats torrent thread before we overrun the Azumanga one

[Blackcat]

Ditto, got full summaries of the 24 episodes?.


Whith a name like Succubus , I get why it wasnt aired...

[D-Mac]

One thread has become two threads.

[Threaux]

Ok here is the entire Swat Kats series in avi files on one torrent, enjoy and rock on.

* Special "Kats Eye News report" is called 24 sometimes, but is labled as ep 99, it was never released, but it was finished, Succubus was neither finished or released as far as I can tell

actually, i had a glimpse of the news report episode some time ago.

i gotta say, i like the second season better because of the animation style. you see, the team that did the actual animation for the entire second season -- as well as a few episodes from the first -- was Japanese. this would explain why some of the characters -- Callie, in particular -- may look almost anime-like in those eps. plus, you'd see lots of shading for perhaps a darker quality, like with Batman: The Animated Series.

I remember the Swat Katz. That may not be my most favourite, but still, it was interesting to watch. I remember watching eps from both seasons, though the 2nd season theme rocks!! I've recently heard it online and oh yeah, cool. Definately a cool theme for such a cartoon of that calibre.
Anyway, I remember watching it on mornings, especially on Cartoon Network.
Believe it or not, but I thought Feral's name was Pharoah. Misunderstanding on my part. Yes, the series had some of its dark surrounding and elements, like in the fashion of Batman. Good cast as well.
I basically have not heard of the existance of a SK SNES game, when SNES were all the rage back then.

The show was property of Hanna Barbera. But since that company now belongs to Warner Bros, It would mean that a Swat Katz DVD would also be property of WB.

[Turbos]

OMG Swat Katz was awsome. I really gotta see that show again...

[Threaux]

Swat Katz DVD

That would be great, along with an SPC DVD. Too bad the only Swat Kats media out there are a series of 3 VHS tapes.  If Sonic Underground, Ducktales, etc. can be released on DVD I don't see why there wouldn't be a market for Swat Kats and SPC.   

you'd see lots of shading for perhaps a darker quality

That's true. The animation style was changed up to have a darker more Anime quality.  Yet the writers were still the same and the content did not get any darker for the second season.  You can see the transformation from about Ep 13 onward.

I have a old "Club nintendo" magazine with a guide for the Swat kats Snes game. If you play the rom, have a bucket ready for the rotacion thing in some levels.

I let my little brother play it and he said the part were you fly the Turbokat makes him sick.  It's awesome how they made it look 3d in a 2d engine.  Even if it does make you a little dizzy. 


If I ever get a jet I'm going to paint it to look like the Turbokat.  Maybe I'll just paint my car and call it the Turbokat.

[SBaby]

Dude, that thing looks sick!  They ought to make a PS2 game of it!

[Threaux]

5 new High Quality SWAT Kats Ep's are available for download. 
They are in Xvid ogg format; Klite codec pack works well and from what I've seen so far they look great.

The first 5 are new ones. Enjoy.

yep, or Nintendo DS, or PS3. and, i think the people behind Contra would be the best choice on who'd make a SWAT Kats game these days.

[Threaux]

A SWAT Kats Half Life 2 mod was in devlopment for a while but it was abandoned.  Its a shame because it was looking really good, they had 3d models started and some were in the process of being skined when it was shut down.

[ApacheMan2K]

i think i read some things about that before, now that you mention it.

[BurkeWorld]

I got most of the eps (Thanks Threaux)

It's not a bad series, but SPC is still better.

I'm a fan of SK too. Especially the SNES game you guys mentionned, it's absolutely great. I only have the ROM, though I'm sure I rented it at some point. Oh and Dr. Viper's the best villain ever. No... the best character ever!!!
