Due to the simplicity of the NES controller (two buttons) most side scrolling shooters had one jump button and one fire button (such as Contra) however in order to differentiate the product at the time Capcom developers came up with the idea of introducing the grappling hook mechanic which, due to the limitation of the NES controller, meant the elimination altogether of the jump button. The main feature which differentiated the Bionic Commando gameplay at the time in relation to other 8-bit era platformers was the lack of a jump button. Rearmed sticks to the original's story of Nathan "Rad" Spencer's first mission: rescue Super Joe (dubbed Joseph Gibson in Rearmed) and eliminate the enemy leader.įuturistic swinging has never been so fun! The game features two player co-op, and new bionic arm abilities. The CD is available on iTunes, Sumthing Digital and the Bionic Commando website. The game features a new soundtrack with remixes of the original music, as well as the anime-inspired "Go! Go! Bionic" theme song.
The game is a "2.5-D" side scrolling shooter and retains all of the shooting and swinging of the original. Bionic Commando Rearmed is an update to the original 8-bit classic originally released on the NES in 1988.
