Well, it was a side scroller where you couldn't jump, you used your grappling hook type thing to get about. Capcom has decided to revive the franchise in two ways. First of all is through Bionic Command Rearmed - a 2.5D remake of the original game for Live Arcade, PSN and Windows. In addition to being a heavily upgraded remake, it will also feature brand new areas, MGS VR mission type mode with a bunch of mini-challenges, a new top-down gameplay mode (similar to the classic "Commando" game) and a co-op multiplayer mode. Here's a few vids (two hidden in the spoiler tag)... Spoiler: click to toggle The other way they're reviving the franchise is through a fully fleshed out title for 360, PS3 and Windows. Titled simply "Bionic Commando", it's a fully fledged sequel to Rearmed featuring third person gameplay in a free roaming environment. Here's a pair of vids... I hadn't really looked into the fully fledged title much until I checked out Rearmed and figured I'd look into it more. Glad I did, 'cause it looks pretty damn awesome too :D

Either way I reckon it'd wanna be a disc game, because Capcom has forced MS to raise the XBLA size limit yet again from 250MB to... who knows what. that's over half the Wii's internal memory already lol

Pretty obvious how you could work Wii remote controls into the grappling mechanic. Looks like bitching on the internet works, because Grin & Capcom have caved in and changed the character design based on people groaning that it apparently looked like it had hot dogs on the bionic arm... Posted Image The gun looks more imposing now too, so that's cool. Edit: New vids... well, kinda anyway... Rearmed: Next gen:
