BAIONIKKUKOMANDO Out Next Week? (!)

Dengeki Online lets rip a new Bionic Commando Rearmed preview.

Ben Judd, #69
Ben Judd, #69
In between accepting submissions tonight, I noticed Nick Chester's daily wrap-up of news bits on Destructoid contained a link to a Japanese story out of Dengeki Online on Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Seems like Capcom's hot-looking remake has been getting pushed back time and time again, and if this amazing photo of Ben Judd, macking like a mack does, is to be believed, the game is going to come out on 69!

Wait, that doesn't make any sense, let me back up... OK, I see what I did. Anyways, after running Dengeki's story through the good ol' Google Translator, it makes it sound like Bionic Commando Rearmed is going to hit Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network next week. It also revealed this unintentionally terrific machine translation gem:

"This time, the Naniwa NAISUGAIPURODYUSA Ben Judd, who appeared in the history and development of the film in which he does not appeal to me."

It's good to know that Google's translation robots find Ben Judd unappealing.

Anyway, this is the translated bit that matters:

  • BAIONIKKUKOMANDO the revival of Master Plan D
  • Manufacturer: Capcom
  • FOR: PS3/Xbox 360 (download only)
  • Genre: ACT
  • Release Date: PS3 2008 year on July 30 appointment / Xbox 360 2008 plan year on July 31
  • Price: PS3 1200 yen (tax included) / Xbox 360 800 Microsoft Points

Hot. Capcom's US-run blog, which is about as loose with the info as a publisher-run blog could get, hasn't updated with anything, but hey, keep your fingers crossed, and by this time next week, maybe we'll all be playing a little Don't Touch The Ground in multiplayer.

Head over to Dengeki for the full (Japanese) story.

[UPDATE] Between the news that Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 was hitting XBLA next week and a Famitsu story rebutting this supposed release date, it looks like we'll all have to wait a little longer to swing around and shoot Nazis. Curses!

I ran


"This time, the Naniwa NAISUGAIPURODYUSA Ben Judd, who appeared in the history and development of the film in which he does not appeal to me."

through the translator from English to Japanese then from Japanese to English just for fun and to see how the translation would change.  What I got was:

"At this point, the Naniwa naisugaipurodyusa Ben Judd, who appeared in the film history and development of his appeal to me."

It's pretty useless, I know, but it somewhat illustrates how stories might change overtime especially when crossing language barriers. 

By the way, Jeff, thanks for introducing me to the Google translator.  Didn't know about that one.

Oh man, I can only hope this is true. If this is next week, and then Geometry Wars 2 is the week after, I'll be good on xbla games for a long time.

It's unlikely, Geometry Wars 2 (XBLA) has been pushed up to July 30th. Of course they could release both, but I don't think there'll be two major games in one week.

It was always Google Translator's plan to turn us against Ben Judd. This is the first cog in the plan for world domination.... But hey, Bionic Commando. Awesome.

TeamXbox just said that Geometry Wars 2 comes out on the 30th of July.  There's no way MS would allow both of these games to hit on the same week, would they?

I was hoping to buy this on the PC, but it looks like another one of Capcom's games that won't get a simultaneous release on the PC. Looks like I'll just get the PSN version then.

This game could not come at a better time! And if its true that Microsoft is finally releasing other Live titles they've been holding out on (e.g. Braid, New Galaga et cetera, et cetera), August isn't looking as bad anymore. I'll pray tonight and hope that I get these games soon.

Yahoo Japan's Translatorworks far better 99% of the time. It's a little tougher since, you know, it's in japanese, but it's actually pretty smooth.

'The Revival Of Master Plan D' is a much more fitting subtitle. At least now we know how they translated those old NES games: Google.

I assume the console dates were translated wrong since July 30 is a Wednesday and July 31 is a Thursday. Unless this is a Japanese release, which in that case... FUCK. Bionic Commando Rearmed and PixelJunk Eden on the same day seems too good to be true. *crosses fingers*

Bionic Commando make my day, 2D's still the best, but the 3D new game looks pretty slick and easy to handle which is the most important thing when playing as a man with a grapling hook for his arm.
