Capcom's BIONIC Sequel Delayed to TBA

Over two decades ago, a ton of gamers helped Capcom's Bionic Commando become an instant classic on the old Nintendo library of titles. Flash forward all those years and Capcom announced last summer that they would be releasing a new title in the franchise, this one called Bionic Commando: Rearmed on the Xbox's Marketplace and PS3.

The plan was to release it in May 2008 but that's officially been blown to shreds, confirms a Capcom message released on their official website.

"This is MA-1. Sir, we know you've been waiting to get your hands on the finished Bionic Commando Rearmed, but it appears we've run into a few problems in the closing stages. I regret to inform you that we have received confirmation that the game won't be making its scheduled May release. This is always the hardest part of any battle, sir. All we can tell you is that the game is done and is more awesome than pure liquid awesome sir! Our troops right now are in the trenches, battling with bugs and submission procedures. Fatigue is starting to set in but they won't give up until that game is on the shelves! What's that, sir? There are no shelves, it's a downloadable title? You sure told me, sir. What a world we live in!"

When a new date is available, we'll pass it along.

I have 0 interest in this game but I'm looking foward to Capcom releasing Street Fighter IV. Never can get tired of SF. Hopefully it doesn't get delayed also.

Street Fighter 4 has yet to be announced for consoles. It's inevitable, but they'll probably wait awhile to release it on the home market. The cabinets in Japan are running 30,000 dollars apiece, so they'll probably try to let the arcades recoup some of those costs before they let the home editions loose. I'm looking forward to it too. The art style looks incredible. Capcom took their time in moving to 3D and it looks like it was worth the wait.

The X Box Live revision of Bionic Commando looks like a nice diversion, but I'm more interested in the full fledged Next Gen 3D remake. The article is talking about Rearmed which is the Live 2D download, and the screenshot is from the 3D remake, so I'm confused as to which is actually being delayed...

Actually, Street Fighter 4 has been officially announced for release on the XB360, the PS3 and oddly enough, the PC.

Yea, it's supposed to be released late 08 if I'm not mistaken. Has a couple of new fighters and it looks sweet.

I'm Looking forward to the Mortal Kombat vs. DC fighter soon to be released. Thats looks sweet. Street Fighter videos don't look that 3d to me as far as movement goes (background, forground) but who knows maybe Im watching out of date videos. Graphics are nice though. are you serious the lakers won again dammit man!
