In anticipation of the release of Capcom’s new Bionic Commando game, the popular game developer has teased us a little more by remaking the classic 1988 NES version. The game appears to be re-created from the ground up, including modern visual niceties such as dynamic shadows and particle effects. I must say it’s not too shabby.

People are always saying some of their favorite games should be remade, and it’s nice to see a company like Capcom taking the initiative.
