Gamespot Bionic Commando Updated Hands-on

Ricardo Torres reports:

''We've been following Bionic Commando since it was announced late last year to see how Capcom and Swedish developer Grin update the fan-favorite character. We've seen the game on and off in the months since it was revealed but hadn't had the chance to clock in some quality time with it until recently, when were able to try work in progress versions of the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game in Las Vegas.

The version on display at Capcom's media event was a multi level sampler which let us check out chunks of various levels to give us a taste of what to expect. The first two level samples we tried were from the start of the game and functioned as a tutorial to familiarize you with Nathan Spencer's abilties. The levels had us heading to set check points within the level which kicked us to the next area. The first chunk we played focused on us getting the hang of swinging with Nathan's bionic arm in some city ruins we'd seen before. The mechanic has changed a bit since we saw it last--Grin has added in a visual cue in the form of a new reticle you see which lets you know the best time to release.''

Genuinely a poor list. When I read a title like "Worst Male Character Designs.." I expect the author to have some grasp of artistic methods, aesthetics, and knowledge--but here all we get is a few sentences which add up to "dun like the character because they look angsty".

Prince - Warrior Within
Danta - DmC
Chris Redfield - RE 5
Rad Spencer - Bionic Commando
Remy -SF 3 Third Strike

Not worth a reading IMO

8-Bit Oversights: Games That Should Have Been Included In The New Mini NES Classic Edition

So, Nintendo's got a new mini NES with 30 games packed in.Here's 12 classics they snubbed.

hamzilla3486d ago

It is called rights, and RARE is no longer got any rights with Nintendo. as for some of the others, maybe someday they will be added VC games can be downloaded to it FYI

RosweeSon3486d ago

Rare have got all the rights to their games FYI. The only games rare don't own the rights to are where Nintendo characters are involved I.E the donkey kong games, Diddy Kong racing etc. Hence why banjo is on Xbox ;)

Zeldafan643485d ago

Rare developed but doesn't own Goldeneye 64.

i find it funny that you think nintendo didnt give careful consideration to the 30 games it included in the collection.

any games not included were left out for a reason.

Sitdown3485d ago

Super Dodge Ball was great, but how do you forget Track and Field, Double Dribble, Skate or Die, Paperboy, Bad Dudes, Top Gun, Blades of Glory, WrestleMania, Tecmo wrestling, bomberman, etc

strayanalog3485d ago

Every game should have been included are you kidding?!

slate913485d ago (Edited 3485d ago )

what size are these pixel games? And can they only fit 30?

HisRandomFriend3485d ago

There are probably about 5MB worth of games here. I didn't feel like doing the exact math, but considering these games average from 8KB to 128KB My estimate may in fact be too high. The user interface will probably be about 1GB (1024MB) so I'd be surprised if this thing even holds 2GB, honestly it probably costs Nintendo less than $5 to make one. That being said I'll probably still buy one since it looks pretty neat.

slate913485d ago

Agreed it does look good. Im just being a spoiled american and wishing it was more than 30 games or at least a promise to add future titles

gerbwmu3484d ago

At one point it was reported that the Wii had enough memory to fit every game in the library of NES & SNES in it woth room to spare so I think these 30 games take up even less then your estimates
