Did anyone not pick it up yet? If so, bad call. It's amazing.

EmTeeZ

Wow, that was definitely one of the best trailers I've seen. Good job Capcom.

I'm interested in the fact that you can play it on your PSP if you have a PS3...

suya123

@Valaris: Same here, I got my brother to buy it and a few peeps on my PSN list.

Pistolaero

It's rare to see a good trailer these days. Although I'm not sure I have enough rhythm for that game...

BillyTheRatKing

That song.

I want it.
Now.

If I hadn't bought the game already, that trailer would of been more than enough to convince me. So well edited. Mmm...

AuraHACK

Goddamn, that looks amazing. When I saw Generalissimo, I thought of Nobuhiko Takada from HUSTLE.

GordieHoweHatTrick

great. now lets hope they air this on tv as a commercial. or at least a shortened 30 sec version of it. the more people you reach, the better your chances are of selling a product.

bigman88zz

The devs, on their podcast, explain that its an M rating just cuz of the 5 second scene at the end of the movie. now THATS's being true to the original.

gh0ul

I love this song.

Jawmuncher

Pi Pi Pi! Picked it up day one, absolutely loving it. I was pretty hardcore into BC the first time around, even have the plastic marquee piece from an old arcade cabinet...

It really is a terrific effort, stays ru to the old school- I hope other developers follow Grin's lead, this really was well done, and looks great aesthetically.

Also actually picked up a second controller for this, anyone else play with a friend? its a blast. And gets challenging.

But.... why no trophies?

Mega-Driven

@scruffy, the janitor: A few, Scruffy, a few.

Hundred.

Maldron

I haven't played it on my PS3 yet, my girl was watching her soap operas on our TV. That didn't stop me though, I grabbed my psp, fired up my PS3 via remote play and played the game on my psp. It's awesome.

gamerholic

I've barely started, and the two things I've noticed is that the game is quite hard and I can't seem to get over my inability to jump. However, the graphics, sound, and whole retro feel are awesome, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase so far.

Xenigma

To be fair, they are very pink nazis.

ZhouYu

That trailer could have been an hour long, and I would have watched the whole thing.

Moonshadow101

I want steam version.

Solid_hedgehog

Great trailer.. too bad they took out online co-op. That broke the deal for me. :/

cornunderscore2x

The Wilhelm scream is actually in the game, never noticed in the scene from the video, but during the top down shooter scenes at the end there's a guy riding a bike with a side car, ever time you kill him you get that scream. So damn fun, and Such a great game.

Chaoticevl

picked it up and love it (ps3) the challenge rooms are pissing me off though some of them are down right insane and I feel it's almost impossible to get 5 of 5 stars on some, there is this one I can do with my eyes closed but I still can't get past 4 stars. I feel like im back in the nes days ready to destroy my controller it's so frustrating.

lilaliendog

Looks like I'll have to add this one to my official "Wilhelm Scream Video Games list".

[kezins.com]

mrjuandrful

I just wanted to add... and the trailer makes me want to buy it AGAIN

MrBionic

I'm thinking about it... I really want castle crashers that comes out soon and I just bought braid and geowars 2 so if castle crashers flops I'll get this.

tooji

The game is excellent and I'm attempting to talk everyone into I know into buying it.

Valaris

@Maldron: do some people gonna die?

scruffy, the janitor

I actually just got it yesterday, and it's fairly awesome. It also made me remember how muuch harder games were back in the day, especially after being coddled with quick saves and instant respawns for the past 10 years.

XivGNP

It's a brilliant remake, and the trailer captures it's essence perfectly. The soundtrack is fuckin' amazing, too, as you can hear.

Fortyseven

Bought it day one, and had been waiting to buy it for months. Don't regret it a bit... one of the better games I've played in months and months. Not just for nostalgia factor either, but because it's just SO DAMN FUN.

MrBionic

I totally love that game and this trailer...I need to get some more GP's to play the full thing!

AggroRhodes

It's rated mature because of something bloody that happens at the end of the game.

Maldron

Ah, January 1st, 1900.. my favorite B-day.

This looks fantastic. Wish it would come to Steam...

nolanvoid

Easily one of my favorite old school games. This remake is awesome. Everything down to the music and the swing mechanics are faithful recreations of the NES classic. I totally love it. This is why i love CAPCOM.

Shin_Ein

i just wish this game had online co op...

jaeohen

It's probably the best game I've purchased on Live to date. I mean no disrespect to Braid, of course. But with a price like $10 ($15 PC), it's impossible not to get your moneys worth.

GunSavior

@InsidiousTuna: Agreed. This game is one non stop warm fuzzy!

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

Seeing the map again for the first time in years, and then watching it pop out into stylized pixellated 3D, was easily one of my favorite gaming moments.

InsidiousTuna

@Jawmuncher: So do I! I have put the video on 8 times now just to listen!

sheeeillaaa

If they are not selling it on steam where am i gonna get it for the PC?

K-Squad! (Badass Edition)

This game is pure undistilled awesome. THIS is the reason that I <3 videogames!

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

Hmm I'm going to go try the demo (BECAUSE I HAVE A HARD DRIVE NOW HAHAHAHA) and if I like it enough, I'm going to wish I didn't buy Ninja Gaiden Black and got this instead lol.

Suda51

No LIVE co-op so I skipped this one, tho the trial was fun-ish.

Lanhoj

@gh0ul: Indeedy, exploding Hitler is back!

GRIN did a good job here, unlike the recent Backbone remakes (Commando 3, and 1942) they made a game not only faithful to the original source, but a game that has that Capcom "feel"

You can tell from those podcasts this one was a real labour of love.

Mentuss

that vid ROCKS or TECHNOS or whatever... I like it alot. easily one of the best choreography of video to music I have seen in a very long time. especially in this genre.

Great job whoever is reponsible, Great Job!

Awoken

That trailer certainly had swing.

M I RITE!?

[ZTF]

I picked it up at launch on the PSN store and I'm glad I did

DoubleOh-

That's a pretty epic trailer, I may get this.

dreamparacite

@AuraHACK: I'm of the opinion that it could win awards. It's clearly the best game trailer I've seen in years. Not only is it edited sublimely, but the marriage of sound effects and music is absolutely *BRILLIANT*. The scene where he shotguns the quazis (I love that word) as he falls down is timed so perfect it made my heart skip beats.

I would love to see that trailer show up in HD on the 360's marketplace.

MrBionic

Shame that its not on steam, And $15 opposed to $10. I would have been all over it.

DaFox

@Mega-Driven: Trophies are supposed to get patched in later.

Maldron

One of the best games I've played this summer.

PsycheE

This game is AWESOME!

Mr.Garcia

Well, I got it, and the entire game is not bloody or mature in any way, except for the aforementioned exploding head. Seems kind of silly of them to throw that in there just to bump up the rating.

Ad-hominem

The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission, the game itself is a great update to a classic game!

Genocyde

@XivGNP: how can something be "fairly awesome"?

xJOZx

Hey guys!! For those who didn't know, this trailer is currently available on the PSN!! I got it going right now on the big screen with the sound pumpin'!! XD

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

This is why it's rated M (Spoiler)

+ Watch video

beril

I was never too interested in this but god damn does this trailer make me want it.

ketenol

i was going to wait to get it on my 360 but thats being fixed so i bought it for the PC since i didnt want to wait. i'm really glad i didnt wait, the game has cahones! also the sound track buy Simond Viklund KICKASS! all the songs are about 3 minute plus songs if you were interested in the music, they're definetly worth checking out!

DE5TR0YER

Really good trailer. Too bad I played the trial and deleted it after I moved two inches and saw how to game played. Not my style.

Quicksilver4648

Whoever Capcom got to do this Launch video needs to do all of Capcom's promotional stuff. This video was incredible.

Warskull

Best game Ive played all year.

CSat420

Great video and I'm now officially much more interested in this than the new game coming out later (this year?). But if the difficulty level is anything like the original... I'll probably never beat it.

Still, looks super cool.

2NinjasTapedTogether

bought in on wednesday. i love it.

salmonax

Best game on Live, best game soundtrack ever, and on my Top 10 of best games ever.

DukeOfPwn

Why isn't it on steam?

K-Squad! (Badass Edition)

This game proves that great current-gen games don't have to be huge open worlds or non-linear gameplay or some other buzzword. It's relatively simple but has a really funky feel to it. Great!

bradcopping

Wow. It is very rare that a trailer actually makes me want to buy something. I'll be downloading this shortly.

FreakyFavabean

In concurrence with most of the comments already, this game is so fucking hard, but the soundtrack is unbelievable.

To add though--it's not "Devil May Cry" punishing hard, it's just "why can't I jump" and "cripes, that wasn't on purpose" hard.

fecalchaos

@Genocyde: I'm actually going to get one of those Street Fighter etched iPods just so I can own this soundtrack. I have YET to get a PMP (unless you count the PSP or GP2X, but I don't use either for music), and this game's soundtrack has pushed me over the edge! Plus, that SF2 character etching is boss!

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

The game is incredible, especially in co-op and Don't Touch the Floor multiplayer.

supercrap

@Ad-hominem: I doubt they did it to bump the rating...it was probably just more homage to the source material. The end effect of this attention to detail was indeed an M rating.

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

I'm getting creepily addicted to this game and anything related to it. Like this trailer. I think it's the music that has this effect on me. The game is also good. I got it a few days ago and have already spent countless hours on challenges.

Kasreyn

OK, wasn't exactly thrilled at first, but yah...

Sold.

I'll get it after work today.

art_zombie

So... where, exactly, do I buy this? it's still for download on PC, right?

Right?

Beran

@MasterSauce: You really were disappointed with Bioshock and Call of Duty 4? I play a lot of multi though and CoD4 more than made up for any story mode monster closets in that setting. Can't argue that Mass Effect was a disappointment, still don't know how the inventory system made it through play testing.

Pornosaur

This game is awesome, how kick ass has Xbox live been the last month? I have Galaga on deck on Wednesday. If that team pulls off anything close to what they did with Pac Man CE I'm going to be a very happy.

Pornosaur

15 bucks on this game? Best investment in a long time as far as gaming goes. I think this has better originality in a remake than all Call of Duty 4.

After Upgrading my computer and playing through some titles, I've been so disappointed with all the big Triple A titles that everyone has been talking about the past year, (Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect. But this game...Ahh. A nice cool refreshing drink of a way to make games fun, challenging and completely re-playable. Thanks Capcom.

The inside references make me laugh: Dragon Run anyone? Fantastic. Do buy!

MasterSauce

@Lanhoj: Buying this for multiplayer is missing the point quite spectacularly

Sunjammer

@Ad-hominem: If they left it OUT it would've been a fucking travesty.

Sunjammer

GOTY for me so far. Seriously.

Sunjammer

Uh. That trailer just convinced me to pick this up. Right now.

So well edited.

sir_carrot

this game its pure fanboy service

mpar

@bradcopping: Strictly speaking BCR does have elements of nonlinearity.

Sunjammer

This was the second game i owned being an 8 year old, SMB being the first. Still having just as much fun as 20 years ago, if not more. Glad I bought it. To any other developers reading this....i'll buy any 2d nes/snes remake of this quality on day 1, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one.

tips:
Gargoyle's quest
Castlevania
Megaman 2
Ghosts n goblins

imagine old nintendo games like Donkey Kong country in this quality. God, why do i torture myself?

Windowlicker

That trailer BLEW MY MIND. The way they synced up the gameplay with the music effectively got me ultra pumped to play this game.

I don't know if graphics of this quality have ever been combined with true old-school style gameplay. I sure hope Capcom's 2-D revival games are wildly successful -- I want to see more of this kind of thing in the industry.

cymptom

Pi Pi...PI!!!

Love this game so much. It's pretty, it controls beautifully, and the soundtrack is amazing. (I've had the "Secret Tunnel" theme stuck in my head since I bought the game Friday.) Playing it makes me a lot more confident in what they can do with the 3D version coming soon.

And for the record: THIS IS HOW A DIFFICULT GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. There's none of the stupid, artificial difficulty of taking away checkpoints or strictly limiting ammo. Failing at segments always feels like it's your fault, and not the game screwing you. Which is great, because the challenge rooms are grueling after about the first 25 or so.

GundamAC197: Proud new Wii60 Owner!

got my funds ready for bionic commando rearmed, but i just recently unearthed my NES, which i got repaired. im playing through the NES version first, so that i can fully appreciate BC Rearmed. playing through BC im realizing now how awesome and tough the game was when i first took a crack at it in my youth.

btw, BC on NES has some sick MIDI music. i cant even imagine BCR :D

zanzibarlegend

Sometimes the game makes me want to ROFL!!

jfm3

I never played the old Bionic Commando, but I do love the old-school gameplay that this game has. The no jumping sounds dumb, but it actually makes the game really cool, because it creates these mini puzzles throughout the levels.

Also, I'm addicted to the VR like missions. Shaving off hundrdths of seconds on mini speed runs to try and climb higher on the global rankings is really, really fun.

If you like old school gaming, get this game. Its easily worth $10.

Akira119

Thank you, Capcom.

More 2D updates, Ghost n' Goblins in this style would be AWESOME.

And make it hard as hell again !

Capcom is the last gamer company after Sega mostly went down the toilet following the Sammy merger.

Voltron

The MP is a ton of fun. Wish it had online MP. =*(

def PD

@XivGNP: yes NES games were tough as nails.

-Ninja Gaiden
-Double Dragon
-BC
- Life Force

do i need to go on? :D

zanzibarlegend

Oh, and for anyone just getting started: fun little trick. if you grab a ledge and draw yourself in, you lose momentum and stop swinging. If you switch to your shotgun (once you get it) and fire a round, you'll start swinging again without having to drop off.

GundamAC197: Proud new Wii60 Owner!

Thats got to be the best trailer of any game ever. the sound was matched perfectly to the game action.... amazing

Nipz

I'm still deciding which version to get. PS3 or Xbox...

QuickPick

@zanzibarlegend: Life Force is a game that desperately needs a Rearmed-like update.

Hell, so many games need it.

MrBionic

Tbh I was quite upset by this game, seriously the guy uses a telescopic pooper scooper. And what's with not being able to jump/attack people with the bionic arm? I could understand the jumping as he has a bionic arm but he permanently keeps it held up; what is he bionic? No wait...

Beyond-Infinity

@Lou3000:
Complete makeovers that keep the same feel, I think it's important to add.

Channing

Also, I hope Bionic Commando blows the sales numbers out, because more complete makeovers need to be done to old games.

Lou3000

Purchasing Bionic Commando and Braid marks the first time that I have been completely satisfied with any XBox Live purchase, even though Braid cost $15.

Lou3000

Eh, when the hell is this hitting Europe? The TBC I'm seeing everywhere is killing me!

Mindtaker87

@Voltron: Well they did Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins on the PSP, which is awesome, and they're making Mega Man 9, Street Fighter 4, and Street Fighter 2 HD.

FreakyFavabean

Wow, that trailer was just... wow. I need this. But I hate playing on the PC. It'll just have to wait till there's a PS3 price drop. *sigh*

Was that music from the soundtrack??? I needs it.

Naturestee

@Naturestee: Yes it was. And I would totally appreciate a tip from someone if/when the soundtrack is available.

GundamAC197: Proud new Wii60 Owner!

The soundtrack is available now at sumthingdigital.com ... $10 for 13 tracks. However you don't get the exact mix of this trailer music - same tune but a different mix.

I've written an FAQ for this game if anybody needs help.

eastx

I only have the demo, can't get the whole game cause it's rated m. Go figure, my dads weird.

But, I loved the demo, I loved all the commentary in-demo about buying the full game.
I wish I could. Hated that I couldn't fight the boss though.

ItsSuperEffective

Tecmo should be hurting for money after their fallout with the rockstar dev whose name escapes me. Complete nes versions of Ninja Gaiden made over with the remake bionic commando style graphics? $15 for the whole trilogy of games, make it so Tecmo make it so.

Pornosaur

@Pornosaur: Itagaki

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

@ItsSuperEffective: Dood, just tell your Pop that the M rating is for the blowing up of mock Nazi brains at the very end of the game! I'll bet he'd actually buy the game FOR you just to see it!

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

PSP Remote play sucks IMO.
Its laggy and pretty much unplayable. The music is choppy as hell too. Among other remote play games I have played this is by far the worst.

I was playing it about 6 feet from my PS3, so distance wasn't an issue.

Shame, cos the game itself is excellent.

I used to love this game in the arcades, so insanely hard. Good work Grin.

ceetronic

@Mindtaker87: According to the official site it should be up on PSN in Europe by now as well; they just forgot to tell anybody about it I guess.

beril

Ohh man this game looks awesome and it makes me want it but I gotta think about it. Also the music from the launch trailer is awesome makes me wonder if they plan to make a soundtrack or something.

Bluejuan85

@Moonshadow101: Ditto. It was all kinds of awesome. GRIN really outdid themselves, didn't they?

WittyUserName

I spent about 2 hours on that time trial puzzle 1 in the demo to get top 10 just to find out it doesn't get recorded because I didn't buy the entire game.

everybest

"Swedish techno"

That's not Swedish Techno, it's just crappy Electro (and not the awesome classic variety.)

Mommar

This game is amazing. I bought it on PSN and have been playing it a bunch. I highly recommend it for anyone who's on the fence about purchasing it :) I even got the soundtrack off Sumthing Digital after playing the game, since it's really quite awesome as well.

Here's hoping that the popularity of this game will get Blizzard or Interplay (not sure who owns the rights) to do a BLACKTHORNE remake. That would make my year.

gfyjo

Weee. Where can i get the OST? QUICK

igl

@beril: Thanks man, I'll go check it out as soon as I can stand to stop playing Dragon Quest VIII. It's claws are well and truly in me.

Even created a new American account for BC, but it wouldn't transfer my wallet from my Irish master account on PSN. Ah well, at least I got some of the multitude of demos that never made it over here.

Mindtaker87

I really ought to find the soundtrack for this, I played the demo and noted "hey music is neat" but hearing it here really makes me want to just listen to it and jam out...

Norellicus

@MrBionic: Life Force remake would be the shit.

Co-op play would fucking own. KONAMI, MAKE IT HAPEN!!!!!

zanzibarlegend

Never played the original but that badas electro track has me sold.

That song is too good.

intehweeds

Braid, Rearmed, 1942, Super Paper Mario, Fez, Mega Man 9, Street Fighter 4, ... So many great 2D games (yeah, I know some of them use 3D graphics, but the gameplay is mainly in 2D) coming out. Are we finally getting over the damage done to 2D gaming by the original Playstation?

L_K_M
