So you logged onto the PlayStation Store and you're ready to buy Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2. You're all excited about playing some couch co-op with your friend/sibling/parent/child/significant other/pet. Now you just hope your crappy cable connection can hold on long enough to get the game downloaded. Not only that, you're getting it a full day before those Xbox jerks. Huzzah.

The sequel to the reboot of the Capcom classic, Bionic Commando, is due out this week. The original game was best known for its bionic form of locomotion and unforgiving difficulty. Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 launches today on the PlayStation Network, though as of this writing, it's not up on the PSN Store. It is scheduled to hit the Xbox LIVE Arcade tomorrow. Whichever Marketplace, Store, or flea market gets the game up first will receive my fifteen bucks (or 1200 Microsoft points). Two players can co-op locally as Nathan "Rad" Spencer.

Announcing Retro Mode for Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2. All is Right With the World

A few months ago we brought your attention to the disservice that Capcom was doing to fans of their Bionic Commando franchise by implementing a 'jump' button. Like crying in baseball, it just doesn't belong. Well, Hallelujah! A 'Retro Mode' has been announced for Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, eliminating that pesky ability. This mode will be unlockable, but I think stubborn faithful gamers like myself can simply refuse to use the jump button on the first playthrough. Let's hope there's not one lone barrel all by itself in the first level, because then I'd be screwed.

Nathan "Rad" Spencer will be getting some help for his upcoming mission. Capcom has just released some details on the supporting cast of Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2. In the first Bionic Commando: Rearmed, two players could play co-operatively through local shared screen play. One controlled a green Nathan Spencer and the other controlled a red clone. (How evil the clone was is debatable since he was, in fact, blonde.) They were both equally 'rad,' and it didn't adversely affect the story at all. Do you hear that, Treyarch?

Back in April, Capcom held their Captivate event in April to show off a few titles they've been working on as well as reveal some exciting new titles. One of the titles revealed at the event is a sequel to the popular remake of a classic NES game, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, which included a co-op mode that, while fun, wasn't all we were exactly hoping for in terms of a co-op experience. As if reading our thoughts, Capcom followed up on this announcement with some official details were released that teased that the "co-op is back and better than ever." So with that in mind, we were eager to finally get our hands on Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2.

It was only yesterday that the embargo on Capcom's Captivate event lifted and news about what Capcom has in-store for gamers over the next year was revealed. Included in this bevvy of information was the announcement that Bionic Commando: Rearmed, the remake of the classic NES title, would be getting a sequel, though it wasn't clear whether or not the sequel would also include a two player co-op mode like its predecessor. Well, Capcom has released the official details and it seems that not only will two player co-op be back, but it will also be "better than ever."
