Look, it's a new Bionic Commando game! And it's only going to be on the 360 and PS3. This highlights the biggest problem with the Wii - third party developers are stupid fucking jack-offs. Hey, let's resurrect a game that people only care about because of the NES and NOT put it on Nintendo's new system. Is Capcom fucking retarded!? It'll sell better on the Wii to begin with, not to mention the extra money they'd get by simulateneously releasing the NES version of the VC. But no, the people at Capcom are fucking douchebags.
I think the new character design is a little weird. I don't like his dreadlocks. I hate the new hotdog covered bionic arm. Why does he have a logo on his shirt?
I have been rooting for a 3d remake of Bionic Commando for quite some time, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see it taking shape, even if the character design sucks ass. Maybe Capcom will put the original protagonist as an unlockable or something.
It's supposedly going to be on PC as well, but knowing Capcom we can expect a horrible port 3 years after the fact.

I read Murdar's "hotdog-covered bionic arm" comment BEFORE looking at the actual art, so I imagined something quite a bit different. Uuuggh.

It was a Capcom game where you played this guy who swung around enemy bases using his bionic arm. In the original Japanese version, you were fighting Nazis who had resurrected Hitler. In the American version, they were changed to generic enemies led by Master-D. Master-D still looked like Hitler though, and an in-game sequence where you blew up his head was left in.
The game is most famous in its NES incarnation, but arcade and C64 versions exist as well.

I saw an animated GIF of that sequence and it almost gave me nightmares. I dunno, I can take gory games like Resident Evil 4 and Duke Nukem 3D and other recent ones, but NES and old computer gory graphics just get to me. It's like it gets scarier the more pixelated it is.

Capcom Executive 1: Hmm, Bionic Commando. Here's a game that needs precision arm control, it'd be perfect with something motion-sensitive. What systems should we put it on?
Capcom President: Let's put it on the PS3 and 360.
CE: What about the Wii?
CP: Forget the Wii! It doesn't have the advanced computational graphicals we're looking for!
CE: Whatever, moron.

LOL. That actually sounds reasonably accurate Char. But BC's new rasta look doesnt look that cool. Looks like they are just trying to cash in on the whole urban appeal look. I wont be surprised if they try to have some sort of anime looking creatures either.

Yeah I'm sorry I don't know an NES game that while you guys are nuts about it, probably didn't make a blip on the radar when it came out and even if it did I didn't have an NES until I bought one at a yardsale in the late 90's. My bad.

Well, if you have capcoms classic collection vol. 1, the arcade copy is on it. It's a little hard but w/unlimited continues you can easily beat it. But the NES version did make a huge blip among all gamers back in the day, I was too young to actually understand how to play it but I always wanted to rent it. Too bad I was too poor to rent it more than once but hey, I still enjoyed my time w/it.

Why I hope Mega Man does end up in Brawl:
Because he's Mega Man.
Also, Air Man cosplayer for absolutely no reason.

I thought this was kind of funny.

I don't think the remake seems THAT bad. Then again, I just watched Resident Evil so I'm a little optimistic right now.

I feel stupid for coming out and agreeing with you. The 8-bit pixelated Hitler's head exploding has a much more profound effect on me than any bit of gore in any more recent game like Resident Evil 4.

I'm the same way. 3d gore is alright but 2d gore is insane. Metroid scared me for life . . . and i thank it for that.
I'm not thrilled about any old NES game going 3d. Espacially Mega Man. Mega Man 64 anyone:
. . . one of the few N64 games i will never play . . .
And that Air Man costume is awesome. Must of cause a shit load though.

The original Megaman Legends was much better. If you played Megaman 64, then I feel sorry for you.

Actually, I think I do have Capcom Classics vol. 1, I borrowed it from my friend to play the various 1945 games and was not very impressed by them and he wasn't a big fan of the collection either so I still have it. Maybe I'll go play this Bionic Commando of yours...

I don't want Megaman in SSB because of some other decision that has nothing to do with Megaman or SSB? This belongs more in the "irks the piss" thread. :p
