Bionic Commando Rearmed for XBLA and PSN is a looker

You've gotta hand it to the folks at Capcom, they've done gone and gotten us excited about Bionic Commando again. No, not the big-budget remake featuring Nathan (née Radd) Spencer (we're still not sold on that one), we're talking about the 2D remake bound for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, revealed today by IGN to be Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Just tossing an HD upgrade of the game onto either service wouldn't have piqued our interest quite the same way this reimagining has. Terrorists in this Bionic Commando? Nope,Hitler Master D and the Badds are back. Fancy three-dee graphics? Well, yes, but with that same old 2D gameplay you remember. Check out the video after the break to watch Radd do his swing-thing in motion.

And don't forget this game resolves that little problem of the main character in the new BC, by offering an unlockable 'classic skin', which looks pretty badass, I have to say.

They should remake the Japanese version.

You mean just to include the Nazis? I remember reading an interview with Judd Nelson about the new game, he mentioned if they included Nazis ala the Japanese original, the Europeans would have a fit and the game would be banned there, similar to the fate of games such as the Castle Wolfenstein games.
I mean, as cool as that would be to have the original badd (sic) guys in the game, it'd just have to be changed for the UK anyway.

Nbow that's what I call an update. I can't wait. I'll happily put down 800-1200 pts for this game.

Wow. I would pay eight to ten dollars for this game, no problem.

GOD I hope they release this on Wii Ware.

This looks really good. When I first heard "3D remake" I groaned loudly thinking of WC: Areana. But thankfully this doesn't seem like the case.

Surely I'm not the only one who skimmed the title and thought it said "reamed"?

I'd rather play this than the new remake!

I wish Konami would remake the original Contra this well.
I'd also like to see Capcom do Megaman this well. Not necessarily a remake.. I thought Megaman X7 was going in a good direction, but then they stopped the series. Damn you Capcom!

I don't know about the rest of you. I would like to see more games that are 3-D but play like an old school 2-D game. It might save the Sonic franchise if they would try this.

yeah, i almost bought the PSP sonic before i found out it was a battle game. BC looks cool, getin PS3 version cuz i like the controler (cant stand the 360's dpad and analogue stick placement) it'd be cool if sonic HD followed, with scores of levels and no extra characters, the chick with the hammer WTF?
