Who says online petitions don't work? In the latest Bionic Commando podcast, producer Ben Judd says Capcom is considering releasing a Wii version of the revived Bionic Commando series, currently tapped to arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Responding to a question asking whether Capcom had seen an online petition for a Wii version, Judd said, "Yes, we have taken notice. We're very happy about that."

"All I can say right now is that we're certainly thinking about it. If there is going to be a Wii version that comes out, rest assured it's not going to be something that's announced tomorrow or in a week."

Custom Action Figures: Half-Life, Duke Nukem, MGS, Ninja Gaiden, Killzone 2

PS3 News from N4G | Bionic Commando (Next-Gen)

PS3 - Bionic Commando (Next-Gen) - Custom Action Figures: Half-Life, Duke Nukem, MGS, Ninja Gaiden, Killzone 2

Jin Saotome's two latest creations are action figures based on Half-Life's Gordon Freeman (from the Half-Life series) and the 8-bit Bionic Commando. He built these two using G.I. Joe Sigma Six figures, but the results look almost worthy of retail. Freeman and the Commando even come with their signature crowbar and grappling arm, respectively. They are now up for auction on eBay via the Gaming Today link below (news.filefront.com).

Jin Saotome's website features additional custom action figures from other video games: Solid Snake (from Metal Gear Solid), Ryu (from Ninja Gaiden), and Helghast Soldier (from Killzone 2). They are currently not for sale.

The pictures of the figures are attached below.

Bionic Commando Remake Set for PS3 and X360

PS3 News from N4G | Bionic Commando (Next-Gen)

PS3 - Bionic Commando (Next-Gen) - Bionic Commando Remake Set for PS3 and X360

The latest issue of Famitsu has a first look at Bionic Commando: Master D Revival Plan, a 3D remake of the original Bionic Commando (known in Japan as Hitler's Revival).

Aside from the 3D visuals, the game promises to maintain the flavor of the original title, which presumably means pure side-scrolling gameplay. Capcom is adding a simultaneous two player mode, secret areas, and some elements that will connect the classic title to the new full 3D Bionic Commando.

The Bionic Commando remake will be released as a paid download through Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Store.

Wii version of Bionic Commando a possibility

PS3 News from N4G | Bionic Commando (Next-Gen)

PS3 - Bionic Commando (Next-Gen) - Wii version of Bionic Commando a possibility

Speaking to VideoGamer.com in an interview to be published on the site later today, Ben Judd said that a Wii version of the sequel to the 1988 NES original would largely depend on how much Bionic Commando's fans want it.

"If the interest is there, of course we want as many people as possible to appreciate this great franchise."

Some Wii-owners have expressed their disappointment that the game isn't currently being developed for Nintendo's motion-sensing controller, with a feeling that the Spiderman-esque swing mechanic would be well suited to the Wii Remote.

Bionic Commando Car By Volvo

PS3 - Bionic Commando (Next-Gen) - Bionic Commando Car By Volvo

Kotaku writes:

"Nothing says Bionic Commando like a Volvo C30, am I right? Therefore, Swedish developer GRIN, responsible for development duties on the Capcom follow up, and, I assume, someone in marketing have decided to bedazzle a C30 with loads of Bionic Commando stickers. The final product? A Volvo with Bionic Commando stickers. These kinds of marketing tactics don't just fall out of the sky, people. It's hard, hard work".

PS3 News | Bionic Commando (Next-Gen)

Oct 29, 2007 Refusing to let the Bionic Commando hype train loose any momentum, Capcom has released another batch of screenshots and videos following the game's reveal earlier this month. In case you missed it (or are under the age of 16), it's the sequel to the original side-scrolling platformer starring a mechanical-armed hero who could navigate around levels with his grappling hook abilities. The West-meets-East follow-up is being handled by new outfit Grin, retaining all of the swinging ...
