Bionic Commando is the working title for the seventh generation console sequel of the original game for the NES, developed and published by Capcom in collaboration with Swedish developer GRIN, best known for Ballistics and the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter series.

On October 16, 2007, GameSpot reported that Capcom had revealed their plans to release the sequel for Windows PCs, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. No release date has been confirmed.

Gameplay

The player will be able to swing around Ascension City and other environments such as canyons, which will feature multiple routes that will require players to use various swinging techniques. Spencer is also able to target enemies while hanging upside down, climbing a building or even in mid-swing, while using an implement called the Bionic Arm which can be used to attack enemies at close range. He can also use it to grab and launch objects such as boulders and cars at enemies.

Plot and Setting

The game will take place ten years after the original NES Bionic Commando game. According to Capcom's press release, this iteration follows Nathan Spencer (voiced by Faith No More lead singer Mike Patton), a government operative working in the fictional Ascension City, where he is betrayed by his own government and falsely imprisoned. Before his execution, a experimental weapon detonates in Ascension City, unleashing an earthquake along with a radioactive shockwave that leaves the city destroyed and wiping out its populace, with the threat of an invasion from a terrorist force

Looks like GameSpot has a Limited Edition Patch Bundle listed on their site (for the same price as the regular version) which looks to include the original BC and BC:R!

Agreed.

However, not sure if it is enough for me to buy it at launch. I am sure I will pick it up eventually tho.

GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/adventure/bioniccommando/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review) and 1up (http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3174282) reviews... I got it yesterday, played it for a little while, just really got used to swining around but I can't really comment much on the game other than say that radiation barriers are annoying.
