A forum post suggests that Capcom may be on its way to releasing Sony PS3 exclusive Lost Planet:  Colonies and Black Cloud for the Microsoft Xbox 360. Where is Street Fighter IV going to land? Will Bionic Commando (PC, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360) and Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) remain cross-platform?  Find out in the detailed version.

Ben Judd, at the helm of production for Bionic Commando (PC, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360), was featured in a podcast and spilled details on Capcom's attempt to revive the NES classic. Judd revealed that Bionic Commando was being aimed at a "middle ground" of the gaming market and that its key characteristic would be the swinging mechanic.

While the most of the hour-long conversation dived into remarks on games as art, the growing trend of classic revivals, and how most revivals will never address the hardcore fan base because of money, Judd was able to squeeze in a few thoughts on what appears to be the production team's views on Bionic Commando as a product.

As a producer, Judd admitted that he first felt that he had to make Bionic Commando "the greatest game ever," but recent training from Capcom's internal producers told him to "stop looking at games as games." To that end, he found it difficult to step out his gamer shoes to view the production from a business perspective.

Taking two steps back and viewing the title from a marketing standpoint, said Judd, showed that reviving the classic would have to be a consideration of a "middle ground" - that is, there's enough profit to be had without sacrificing as many features faithful to the original. There's a risk of alienating hardcore fans, but there's more money to be made, he says.

Also, the game's key selling point - or "hook" as a representative from Capcom's subsidiary described it - would be the swinging mechanic. While already offered by Activision's top selling Spider-Man 3, Bionic Commando's version may not be so semi-automatic in flow and may even require some skill - or so Judd hints.

More details, and perhaps more clues to the Bionic Commando remake, as they come in.

Australian Xbox 360 owners are getting some old school arcade action on Xbox Live. Konami's 1989 arcade title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hits the XBLA in Australia today for only 400 MS Points.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lets players choose from one of the four titular heroes to rescue April O'Neill and Master Splinter from Shredder. Players will have to fight through hordes of Foot Soldiers and other baddies to get to Shredder and rescue their friends in this side-scrolling title.

This title is not to be confused with the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game which was also released in 1989. Interestingly, this game was retitled to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Europe due to issues involving the word "ninja". Huh. Never really understood that.
