So Capcom asked its fans to remix the “Papagayan Anthem” and make it into something a little more modern. The grand prize was having your winning composition featured in the final version forever.
"Capcom’s pint sized Bionic Commando may have been ignored while it’s bigger counterpart was released, but it appears developer Grin, has made good on the trophy promise.

"Famitsu have reported that Bionic Commando Rearmed, a game which was expected to drop on 360, PS3, and PC very soon has been hit with a delay. This is the second delay for the game, with the first announced back in May. The reason for that delay was due to development not [being] schedule correctly."
"John Diamonon, an associate product manager at Capcom, has said that the firm looks to eBay in order to find out what old games people would like to see on today's formats.
"Sometimes we see games on eBay, and that's how you see what games people are willing to spend $80 on," Diamonon told MTV.
"To choose titles to revive, we see if we can give old franchises the modern touch, and we evaluate the fanbase and see if there's a market for it."

"We're sure a lot of you are looking forward to the 3D Bionic Commando (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) game, and also Bionic Commando Rearmed. Here are new details on the games straight from Ben Judd, the producer of both titles.
