 If you dig old classic games getting next-generation iterations, you'll be glad to know the Capcom is bringing back Bionic Commando for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and the PC. It's supposed to be a next-generation sequel of the original Bionic Commando with a lot of new twists.
The original Bionic Commando launched in 1987 aboard arcades, making home game system debuts the following year. The most well-known version was for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) which is enjoyed to this day by 2D side-scroller enthusiasts.
The Bionic Commando franchise lived on discreetly with a 1992 appearance on the Nintendo Game Boy and a sequel in 1999 on the Game Boy Color. Pleas have been made to remake it Bionic Commando for higher-end platforms, but no answer was given until now.
Capcom has announced that the Bionic Commando sequel is to go simply by the same name and will feature gameplay in the same vein as its predecessors. Players will take control of bionic agent Nathan Spencer and his trademark grappling hook to swing through buildings and take out enemies all with one tool.
The storyline of the new Bionic Commando starts with Nathan coming home to his country supposedly a hero, but is later charged with crimes he did not commit and is sentenced to death. Strangely enough, a devastating terrorist weapon is used against Ascension City on the date of his execution, prompting the government to negotiate with Nathan to take out the terrorists in exchange for favors.
More specific gameplay details are being kept under wraps for now by Capcom, but more are set to come to drum up attention for Bionic Commando. Keep it here to get latest updates on this welcome returnee.
