of course this is fucking capcom we are talking about.
i seem to recall they pulled one of those "NO PLANS AT THIS TIME" things for the fucking arcade version of SSF4
hell, they are pulling one RIGHT FUCKING NOW with "We might not add the stuff we added to the arcade version to the console versions"
calling it now, approximately 2 weeks after the arcade version is officially out, they announce the fucking PC version
I think Bionic Commando Next Gen would have done much better if it was done tongue-in-cheek, like Metal Wolf Chaos. Absolutely no way is MWC serious, and if Bionic Commando's plot and dialog were like that, then I think it would have done much better.
The biggest mistake was moving away from rearmed's silliness.
then they decided to make super joe evil
then they decided YOUR MISSING WIFE=YOUR ROBOT ARM
Rearmed 2 is looking pretty fucking great though
