NZGamer writes: "Government operative Nathan 'Rad' Spencer is back in Capcom's official sequel to the 1988 NES platform classic of the same name, Bionic Commando. The original game was a notoriously difficult side scrolling platformer, the main shtick being that Spencer couldn't jump, but instead relied on a grappling gun adhered to his arm for propulsion. In the upcoming sequel little Spencer has gone through some major changes and he's now a jumpin', fully fleshed dreadlocked bad boy who spends his time swinging around a futuristic 3D environment. Plus he's voiced by former Faith No More front man Mike Patton. Naturally.
By no means a complete departure from the original, the new Commando continues the narrative 10 years later. Spencer has been betrayed by his commander, Super Joe, and is rotting in a jail cell when a terrorist weapon turns Ascension City into a nuclear wasteland. Super Joe must reluctantly release Spencer from his shackles in order to save the day, which is where the game begins. Bionic arm firmly attached, Spencer swings, climbs and flings himself through the futuristic metropolis in a one man war against the terrorist threat."
The Good:
-Swinging like Spidey, but with cooler moves.
The Bad:
-Falling to your death multiple times as you try and master the tricky mechanics.
The Ugly:
-Parts of the bionic arm look like it's been made out of frankfurters. And that's just gross.
As much as we love our iconic characters in Video Games, some of the character designs are just bad. Here are the top 5 worst character designs in Video Games.
Genuinely a poor list. When I read a title like "Worst Male Character Designs.." I expect the author to have some grasp of artistic methods, aesthetics, and knowledge--but here all we get is a few sentences which add up to "dun like the character because they look angsty".
Prince - Warrior Within
Danta - DmC
Chris Redfield - RE 5
Rad Spencer - Bionic Commando
Remy -SF 3 Third Strike
Not worth a reading IMO

So, Nintendo's got a new mini NES with 30 games packed in.Here's 12 classics they snubbed.
It is called rights, and RARE is no longer got any rights with Nintendo. as for some of the others, maybe someday they will be added VC games can be downloaded to it FYI
Rare have got all the rights to their games FYI. The only games rare don't own the rights to are where Nintendo characters are involved I.E the donkey kong games, Diddy Kong racing etc. Hence why banjo is on Xbox ;)
i find it funny that you think nintendo didnt give careful consideration to the 30 games it included in the collection.
any games not included were left out for a reason.
Super Dodge Ball was great, but how do you forget Track and Field, Double Dribble, Skate or Die, Paperboy, Bad Dudes, Top Gun, Blades of Glory, WrestleMania, Tecmo wrestling, bomberman, etc
There are probably about 5MB worth of games here. I didn't feel like doing the exact math, but considering these games average from 8KB to 128KB My estimate may in fact be too high. The user interface will probably be about 1GB (1024MB) so I'd be surprised if this thing even holds 2GB, honestly it probably costs Nintendo less than $5 to make one. That being said I'll probably still buy one since it looks pretty neat.
Agreed it does look good. Im just being a spoiled american and wishing it was more than 30 games or at least a promise to add future titles
At one point it was reported that the Wii had enough memory to fit every game in the library of NES & SNES in it woth room to spare so I think these 30 games take up even less then your estimates
