E3, jet-lag, time differences or just plain laziness? One or more of these is the reason this report is late finding it's way to you. But we think you'll agree, this one is rather packed.
New 3D BC E3 trailer and impressions
While others were busy with Resident Evil 5 and Ben prepared for BC's big showing at Comicon, Simon, Viktor and Gunnar from Grin were all on hand at the new, slimmer E3 to show off Bionic Commando. We'll have a full report back from E3 coming shortly, but in the meantime, click this link to check out the new trailer we unveiled at E3. Even if you weren't already excited for the next-gen version, you would want to be clinically dead if you don't want to play it after seeing this.
Bionic Commando on G4TV, hosted by Simon Viklund
Also E3-related, check out BC's appearance on G4TV, with special guest Simon Viklund (who, contrary to the content of the video, did not work for Capcom when last I checked).
MS drops release date hint
And for you lot hanging in there for Rearmed - is vague information better than no information at all? You decide. But there is not long to wait for a concrete release date now!
Bionic Jam now on sale at iTunes

like to purchase it for the low, low price of just 99 US cents, you can

Nothing to Do with Bionic Commando...
...but worth showing you anyway - it's a special t-shirt for Mega Man 9.
Takeshita-san, the MM9 producer, was modeling this with great pride at
E3, and Ben Judd claims to have been the man who inspired it. I just
want to know how you go about finding someone able to draw something
that is simultaneously crap AND awesome. I dare say this has even
topped our Exploding Head t-shirt (best part - even though his arm is a
gun, he's still holding ANOTHER gun!).
There's no topping that, so we'll call it a day... but Comicon is right around the corner!

yeah
seeing that trailer never gets oldUhhhh guys.... =(
Ben, I think you should see this - http://kotaku.com/5026780/bionic-commando-has-control-issuesNot realted to Gearoid's post, but I felt this had to shown.
Alternate costume! Sweet!
I love the new trailer. And I noticed that you can spot a glimpse of an alternate costume in it too :D(Also noticed that some scenes shown in the one at GameVideos (PS3?) are different from the video I saw on GameTrailers (360?). Oh well; More footage for us!)
Anyway, seeing an alternate costume in action makes me wonder though... will there be several alternate costumes? And will they also contain nods to previous installments or evt. other franchises? Maybe this has been answered before and my mind has now reached the point where it no longer can handle all the Bionic Intel!
Kotaku
Yeah. I was reading this as well =(.But I think he is wrong. You will feel a lot more free and satisfied when you learn the controls and swinging feels like second nature. And the more you learn, the better you become. And you will also own the other players in MP :).
People are such pansies these days. Without hard games to evolve in we wouldnt have: ninja gaiden, metal gear, street fighter games, mega man, Myst etc.
All those are considered classics!
So dont listen to them Ben!
Agreed
And sorry for the spelling mistakes earlier. An edit post button would be helpful. =(Kotaku should stick to game cakes
I like that the new Bionic Commando will take some time to get a hold of. That's just going to make for a much more rewarding gaming experience. - Stove
