Gamers who were introduced to gaming back in the mid 80’s with the Nintendo Entertainment System (Famicom) are sure to remember the good ole days with Bionic Commando. As one of the games that solidified the lore of the NES in that time period of yesteryear, many a fan with unrivaled nostalgia for the title have been clamoring for a true sequel on todays new fangled hardware. Now comes news that the new game that everyone is waiting for is on it’s way to the  Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game is headed up by An American producer, a Japanese creative advisor, and Stockholm, Swedish studio GRIN, who were responsible for the PC port of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2.

After serving his country honorably in conflict with the Imperials, technologically enhanced agent Nathan Spencer is framed for a number of crimes by his superiors and sentenced for execution. Fate intervenes, as an experimental terrorist weapon is detonated in Ascension City on the day Spencer is to be executed. With the city in ruins and Spencer uniquely equipped to handle the many skyscrapers, monorails, and suspended roadways, the government reluctantly turns to its imprisoned bionic commando for help.

Capcom is actually listening to its fan’s. No way! Who would have thunk it. It wouldn’t be a surprise if that often asked for, but unwarranted sequel to Kid Icarus was finally made by Nintendo. Street Fighter 4 on the 360 Capcom? Pretty please.
