Bionic Commando Rearmed 2… Jump!

Nathan “Rad” Spencer may have had a rough critical reception with 2009’s Bionic Commando, but the remake of the NES classic, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, did not. Capcom is treating fans of side-scrolling, arm-swinging action to a sequel with Bionic Commando Rearmed 2. Not only that, but now players will be able to do the unthinkable…

He can jump!

Grin, the original developer of Bionic Commando Rearmerd (along with Wanted: Weapons of Fate and 2009’s Bionic Commando, unfortunately) closed down last year, but several key members moved on to form Fat Shark. Fat Shark is developing Rearmed 2, so Capcom is promising more of the same magic. However this is at odds with the recently announced studio, Might & Delight, which is also composed of ex-Grin staffers claiming to be responsible for Bionic Commando: Rearmed. We can't help but wonder which team had more to do with the 2008 remake.
