It's been a long time coming, but Capcom has finally confirmed that the new-age rebirth of its classic franchise, Bionic Commando, will be released on PS3, 360 and PC in May.
"Reloaded for the latest generation of hardware, Bionic Commando sees the return of the ultimate fusion of man and machine who became a firm favourite with gamers around the world some 20 years ago with the release of the 8-bit original on the NES," says Capcom.
You play as Nathan Spencer, still equip with his now iconic Bionic arm. "Both the Bionic Arm and swing mechanic that made the original so unique make a welcome return."
"They have been upgraded to deliver a range of devastating attacks and allow Spencer to quickly traverse the game's diverse environments. Players can harness the power of the arm in a variety of ways to take out enemies - launch huge boulders or cars; send them flying with a close-quarters uppercut; use enemies as a shield or whip them into the air transforming them into a human kite."
For someone who hates the 360 so much you really are hung up on having the one idea some half inched off them included in your games.
Your missing out though. Bionic Commando rearmed is a little slice of tweeked to perfection nostalgia. Something Capcom seem to be having great finese in doing recently. Wonder what old franchises they'll revive next.
