Bionic Commando Swings Into Hong Kong This Week

The teasing has gone on long enough, the Commando returns to consoles!

We’ve been teased, slapped and grabbed by the brand new Bionic Commando since at least this time last year (the seventh generation console installment in the series, and the sixth game overall following the original arcade game, the NES game, Bionic Commando on Game Boy, Elite Forces, and the enhanced remake of the NES game) and its finally coming out this week for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (PC version in July) and we can’t wait to play this robotic Spider-Man update from Capcom who will surely dominate the console game buyers hearts quickly (with little competition).

Arm yourself! The 20-year wait is over as the first true sequel to the classic 1988 Nintendo Entertainment System original, Bionic Commando, sees the return of the bionically-enhanced Nathan “Rad” Spencer. Time has not been kind to Spencer. Ten years after his heroic defeat of the Imperials, he is betrayed by the government, and sentenced to death for crimes he didn’t commit.

At this point, who hasn’t seen the trailer – so in keeping with the 20 year theme here is a video look back at this classic Capcom game:
