Extra challenge rooms to unlock for those that want some more to play through:
To access the hidden Challenge Room, just enter the following code at the title screen, where the BCR logo is shown, before the intro starts again. You can use the D-pad or the analogue stick for the directions, and they'll work on the PC version too, provided you have a controller.

Aaron Sedillo's Room

Xbox 360: Right, Down, Left, Up, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, Y, Y, X, X, Start
PS3: Right, Down, Left, Up, L1, R1, Triangle, Triangle, Square, Square, Start

We've also hooked up (hah!) with several different websites and games publications to offer their own exclusive rooms too - and whereas I could beat Aaron's room without too much fuss, these have the difficulty level pumped all the way up to "Devil May Cry 3". Downloadable content? Bah! This is how we used to give away extra content back in the day! Be warned: you'll have to re-input the code when you restart your system, and these work in English language only.

Game Overview

Classic side-scrolling gameplay is reporting back for duty with Bionic Commando Rearmed, a remake of the classic NES game, coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade, PlayStation® Network and PC in spring 2008.​
20 years after the 8-bit classic was released, Bionic Commando Rearmed recreates the world of the original with a complete "2.5D" visual revamp. Bionic Commando Rearmed preserves the original's mix of swinging and shooting in an intense 2D side-scroller, all to the tune of a brand-new soundtrack based on the classic 8-bit music from the NES masterpiece,​
But Rearmed is far more than just a remake - it features all-new modes such as the 2-player co-op play, smarter enemy AI, new bionic arm abilities, new weapons, bigger bosses and online rankings. Faithfully sticking to the story of the NES game, Bionic Commando Rearmed tells the story of Nathan "R.A.D." Spencer's first mission, sent in to retrieve captured agent Super Joe from the hands of the Imperials. Fans of the original story can expect to see all the characters from the NES version, as well as the memorable moments that made the title so popular with fans. Rearmed will also link-up to its 3D "big brother" coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, with unlockable content, in-game hints and a story that spans both games.​
Game Features:
  • Classic Bionic Commando side-scrolling gameplay, updated with new abilities, weapons and bosses
  • 2-player co-op mode
  • Total modern visual and audio revamp
  • Cross-game interoperability - complete specific parts of Bionic Commando Rearmed to unlock new content and hints for the Bionic Commando sequel
  • In-game art designed by one of Capcom's most talented artists, Toshiaki Mori

I would pick it up for 400 points, not 800 though. As much as I love bionic commando, on-line multi-player is not worth 10 dollars.
 
I never would have guessed this would happen. Awesome news!
 
[quote name='Darkside Hazuki']Despite the screenshot, nowhere in that text does it say it's the NES version.
I'll buy it either way, but my bet's on an arcade remake.[/quote]

I originally had this and replaced it with what's on the OP because it had more detailed info:

The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed that Capcom plans to release a remake of the NES Bionic Commando on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.

The original Japanese version of Bionic Commando for the NES was called Top Secret: Hitler's Revival and had you fighting futuristic Nazis, with the final boss being Adolf Hitler. In the U.S., the game was renamed Bionic Commando: Master D Revival Plan

Now I realized I should have kept this up as well...
 
I'm really impressed with the way it looks after that trailer. Probably going to be a day 1 purchase now for me even though I never played the original Bionic Commando.
 
Trailer had me sold. And co-op? Wow. It just looks amazing. OP title should be updated to say BC:Re-Armed. I wonder if they'll release a remake on DS or PSP too.
 
Wow that is a must have now I must add to the list of games I want, I just got Omega 5 so now im waiting for this and Ikuraga way to go with the video
 
omfg, that trailer was so freaking awesome. and I can't believe they threw in "Get out of here you nerd!" :lol: Good to see they're pandering to old school gamers with it.
 
[quote name='PyroGamer']I'm much more excited about this than about the 3D remake.[/quote]

I know! I totally forgot about that part until I saw it. Freaking sweet nod to the original. I'm psyched. Mostly because this could be the start of an awesome trend if this does well. It makes perfect sense to release them near one another for the hype and the retro fix. Plus a total remake? As long as the new game doesn't suck I'm sold.
 
Wow, that looks really fucking awesome. Unless for some reason they totally fucked up the gameplay, it's a definite buy.
 
Hah, sorry for the double-post, but I started laughing at the amount of posts that start with "Wow."

Speaks volumes for the fans of 2D games that rarely get what they want.

$$$$a you ain't a true gamer...

I'll be getting this. Been forever and a day since I last played it
 
That is just pure sweetness. I've been playing Bionic Commando on my DS. One of my all time favorite NES games. I can't wait.
 
The developers are asking for feedback on what price they should sell the game for - $10 or $15.

You CAGs know what to do ;)

While I can understand their desire to properly represent a title of high quality and to "legitimize" 2D gaming in the current generation, the reality is that a $15 price point would turn off way too many gamers to make it worthwhile. I imagine that would shut out a large portion of those borderline curiosity buys... those who would have probably bit at $10.
