After two decades on the shelf, Capcom has announced that it will be bringing Bionic Commando right up to date in a title that is in currently in development for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and PC.

Taking its inspiration from its 8-bit namesake released on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1988, Bionic Commando features Nathan Spencer , a government operative who represents the ultimate fusion of man and machine. The story follows his unlawful imprisonment and a subsequent terrorist attack, Spencer is the government's only hope.

His robotic arm is, once again, central to the gameplay. Spencer can swing with it, hang upside down, scale buildings and of course, unleash a powerful punch.

There aren't any details, not least on a release date, but we'll keep you posted.
