No additional functions
I've never played the original, but it looks cool. I would love to see a Contra and Castlevania like this.

Pre-purchase confirmed.
This is too good to be true - the original was one of my favorites of all time, and now I'm getting not one, but two Bionic Commando games this year. The footage is looking good, but I'm not crazy about the swing animation. The rest of the animations look nice, but when he releases from a grapple, he goes back into his standing pose in mid-air way too quickly. It looks stiff, and could be done much more gracefully. I know he popped back into that pose in mid-air in the original, but there are some cases where you should not be so true to the original.
Nitpicks aside, I'm seriously giddy.

Yeah, just read their "excuse". Laaaame.Rlan said:
I don't see how adding online functionality to the co-op (I don't necessarily want it to be drop-in drop-out), which already exists obviously, would be so hard. Or harder than designing other multiplayer components that are, I assume, completely new, which they seem to be doing. Even older games like Metal Slug 3 manage to incorporate an online co-op mode by now...
With that said, I'll most likely buy this remake (never played the original and it does look damn good), but this reminds me of the whole Kane & Lynch situation whenever IO tried to spin their way out of a question concerning the lack of online co-op.

Dudes, more info about the game: Capcom USA blog, official site of the game, and also in Capcom Town (info in Spanish).
In a few hours in the official site will be uploaded screenshots, videos, artwork, sountrack etc in the Bionic Commando Reloaded minisite (inside bioniccommando.com).

this looks great. I want more NES remakes like this. Konami needs to take notes and put the NES Castlevania games on XBLA the same way.

Looks Awesome. I love 2.5D games. Megaman Powered UP, Irregular Hunter, Contra Shattered Soldier. I love those games (except the dracula x remake, it has horrible animations).
Day fucking one.

Holy shit I really wasn't expecting this. Very cool of Capcom to develop a 2.5d and a 3d bionic commando. I love 2d/2.5d games more than anything and I hope they continue bringing back their old franchises in similar fashion.
Please add Trojan, Speed Rumbler, Black Dragon and Tiger Road to the mix.

:lol Day 1 purchase here.
This was the 2nd NES game I got when I was a kid, I remember my dad buying it for me at the PX because Army personnel got games cheaper on base.
I also remember being frustrated to hell for the first hour because I couldn't go past route 1 and the first neutral zone. Took me 45 minutes to figure out you had to press the control pad to go diagonal. I thought my game was broken or I had to do some unknown thing in route 1. Of course, this was still when I was unconsciously moving my controller to the right when I jumped with Mario because I thought it helped him go farther.

The techno remix of the song is just wrong and some of the animations are spotty, but otherwise this is a Grade-A effort and a brilliant idea that stands to eclipse the 3D remake itself.

This is hot stuff.
Hopefully Judd can move heaven and earth and get the AD&D games with online coop on XBLA/PSN.

I will have this. I hope it will be available on Steam.
Capcom's attempt at rejuvenating the Bionic Commando franchise will either flop horribly or be a huge success that spawns twenty immediate sequels across the 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, PS2, PC, and cell phones so we get tired of it within a few years. Or I guess it could be a moderate success instead of a huge success, but being Capcom, it'll still spawn twenty immediate sequels across the 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, PS2, PC, and cell phones so we get tired of it within a few years.

Great art. It successfully expands on the original game crazy character design where, more subtlely than the Hitler-Master D analogy, but still recognisable, Generalissimo Killt was modeled after Hitler's "friend" Mussolini:

Last week I was playing MD's Rolling Thunder 2 and I imagined how would be a 'HD remake' of that game (2D or 3D I don't care, things like little big planet have shown that this-gen 3D graphics can be as soft and eyepleasant as 2D.
Ok, this Bionic remake comes really really close to that wet dream
Day 1 OF COURSE.
