So, you want Ghost n’ Goblins to rape us all again, if only better looking this time?..Im in.
Also, cant wait for this game and the new Bionic Commando; now, if only Capcom gave us a third Strider title and remakes of the previous 2 games in that series…that or the Marvel Vs Capcom fighting series on live.
Mighty FUCK! Probably my favorite NES game! This is gonna be great! And I know because I played it again with VNES and it wasn’t just a walk down nostalgia lane, it’s really a great game.
My only complaint has always been that once you get the rocket launcher you never need to use another weapon.
EDIT: I’m besides myself about this (and the news about a new XCOM game)but I still haven’t seen the new trailer because it just won’t load.
A couple new movies from Rearmed and the new game. There’s something about the haze in Rearmed that seems kind of off-putting.
Also, the new game looks great but doesn’t really seem like a lot of fun. If you’re not spending 90% of the game abusing the bionic arm, you’re doing it wrong.
According to Kotaku, thanks to the file size limits on the XBLA the 360 version of this won’t be using high def graphics, or at least as high def as the PS3 or PC versions. Stupid file size limits.
The Core/Arcade systems only have at most a 256MB memory card. They want to make sure that games will fit on that.
Back when the 360 first came out and the biggest memory card size was 64MB, the limit was actually only 50MB. When they introduced the larger memory card they raised the file size to 150MB.
While I’m anticipating this games’ release, I have to say that after my first viewing of in-game play I’m a bit let down. The gunplay looks absolutely boring and the draw of using the arm made me think of a half-assed Spider-Man engine. It looks fun but suddenly it looks a bit bleak.
What the fuck are you talking about? It has nothing to with buying a Hard Drive but everything to do with Microsoft and their stupid fucking mission to not utilize the hard drives that the majority of us have. Either way I’ll be picking this game up for the PS3 now.
Since the Arcade system comes with that 256MB memory card, why not push that arbitrary 150MB limit for Arcade games up to 250? That way, people who don’t want a hard drive can still buy Arcade games, they just have to buy a new memory card each time they want one of these bigger Arcade games.
Who can really say why MS does whatever it is they do. You’d think if more games made the HD a requirement MS would make a bunch of money off all of the people who had to go out and buy it (especially considering how much they overcharge for ALL of their accessories).

A 512 is what, 50 bucks? So if you go and buy SF II HD and Bionic Commando (this is the hypothetical situation where they’re not neutered). That’s pretty much one memory card taken up. So you’re going to spend another 50 bucks on another memory card when what you should have done is spend the 100 bucks on a 20 GB hard drive.
The truth is though, it’s not that companies are choosing NOT to release games over 150MB or even 250MB. Instead, it’s a requirement of MS that no XBLA game be above that size. So instead of being able to see what kind of sales hit they use for making the game potentially unavailable to some Core buyers, MS eliminates even that option.
This isn’t the Core owners fault for not buying a hard drive, it’s MS fault for selling a model without a hard drive and not allowing companies that create games for their system to require a hard drive.
