Or...you could just go with a real gamers console and get a 360. The Wii's 3rd party software is 98% shovelware.

"Okay, we're just going to come right out and say it: the Bionic Commando remake for Xbox Live Arcade looks more fun than the upcoming retail remake."
Ha! Holy Crap, I said, "That looks more fun than that new crap." when I saw this.

This will be a definte purchase on my end. And they threw in co-op play? Bonus. Not sure the pyshics deal, picking up and throwing of barrels, is an asset to the game or not.

I couldn't care less if the Wii gets this. Buy a system that supports your "hardcore" interests in that case lol.
In any event, this looks good. And it's based on the NES version, which is good. I'm not sure if the person who said it was based on the arcade was being sarcastic or not, but the interview (and video) are very clear about it.

I have only paid for maybe 3 XBLA games tops, but this...i have to have. I was just thinking the other day that in gaming, its annoying htat most developders look at new technology like "if we can do it, we should" I miss 2d games and i think that if a AAA developer could put signifigant effort on a 2d title and finding ways to use the extra horsepower of next gen for 2d;we could see some AWESOME games. This title is a great example. Just because the technology exists to make fully fledged out 35 environments, doesn't always mean its the most fun way to make a game.

yeah...3D environments not 35...does this thing have a spell check button?

That video looked like lots of fun! I'm really liking the facelift they've given it. Is co-op local or online?
But yeah, I miss my 2D games :o( and like Stranger said, just because they can do certain things doesn't mean they have to.
And everyone knows 36 environments is where it's at. 35 environments is so last-gen. Pfffft.

36 environments? I think that's a long way off my friend. Think of the overhead, what with all those pollygoons and all...35 is just fine for today's hardware.

This brings me back to my childhood. I will be buying this for 800 - 1200 points for sure. With Bionic Commando & Symphony of the Night, the only big childhood favorite game I need to complete my XBLA collection is Herzog Zwei (sp?) from the Sega Genesis...Oh, and maybe Goldeneye, but that doesn't seem like its going to happen.

Come on come on, lets not start up the 35 versus 36 environments flame wars here. Let's just agree to disagree.

Holy crap that looks awesome.
But if the base doesn't "explod" at the end I'll be very disappointed.

I think the erection part should be filed under the "unspeakable way" section of your thought process. WTF, I mean I don't even want to think about what you thought was unspeakable if it is, to you, speakable that a little guy with a bionic hand gives you an erection!

yes, this remake is nicer, and i may still get it, but.... the best XBLA remake i've seen so far, and the only i've purchased is Prince of Persia. You have to admit that that remake looks so beautiful and impressive. The bionic commando looks nicer, but not that impressive. i'll buy it at 600pts.

Great Caesar's Ghost! Start scheduling co-op games now folks. Don't be stuck playing with... by, by? Don't be stuck playing by yourself, this looks like a must-have party game.
