Be Bionic!

Greetings Commandos,

Imagine my surprise and joy when upon signing into the Xbox One (a very rare occurence to be sure), I was greeted with the option of installing BC Rearmed 2 in my available games list.

Although not listed on the official Xbox website as an Xbox One backwards-compatible title, Xbox's own Major Nelson has it listed on his blog[majornelson.com] as one, and the date that it was added as 21st July, 2106 (<2 weeks ago).

This is fantastic news, as it ensures that the last and only console-exclusive Bionic Commando title lives on beyond the last-gen consoles.

The are further ramifications to this as well. It means that Capcom haven't entirely thrown the Bionic Commando franchise under the corporate bus, and this may be an avenue of gauging interest for any possible future titles.

And with the Game Streaming[support.xbox.com] feature in the Xbox app on Windows 10, this may become the unlikely avenue of us finally being able to play the game on PC, even if it required a console generation jump and then a leap to an entirely different platform. I haven't yet tested to see how it works with game streaming, so if anybody else has a go at it, let us know how it went in the comments.
