Bionic Commando - hands-on

We swing through several levels of reborn NES classic

Capcom and developer Grin also briefly revealed Bionic Commando's multiplayer modes during their Captivate event, touting the game as the "first online multiplayer game to truly feature an advanced wire mechanic." Um, sure? Yes, you can have that extremely specific distinction.

Once in multiplayer you'll take control of random, rainbow-colored soldiers with external bionic arms though, not Nathan. That's kind of boring, but longtime fans will love this bit of info: buying Rearmed unlocks the Super Joe skin for the single-player game. So, then you can play the whole damn game as the green-garbed, red-haired super soldier from the NES game. Hell yes.

BC's still booked for an October release, so look for more as Fall's chilly embrace threatens to swallow and freeze us all.
