because Street Fighter 4 just got announced.
Street Fighter 3 was a huge improvement on Street Fighter 2 in almost every way. I can only hope that they’re going to do as good a job with 4 as they did with 3.

Bionic Commando is getting remade. About goddamn time!
Apparently the producer has been hounding Capcom for years to get this game in the works. I’m glad he’s finally gotten through to them.
Though, they’re not calling him Super Joe anymore, and they’re no longer the Badds, for the obvious reasons that those are the silliest names ever. Though, even those names were changed originally, because they were supposed to be the Nazi’s.
The original Japanese version of Bionic Commando placed the character in a battle against futuristic Nazis. The final boss was Adolf Hitler, who had been resurrected by evil scientists. All references to Nazism were removed from the American release: the swastikas were replaced by albatross figures, the enemies were renamed from “Nazis” to “Badds” and the overall difficulty of the game was reduced. The final boss’s name was changed to “Master-D”, but he still clearly resembles Adolf Hitler. There is a notably gory ending sequence in which he is shot in the face, which was kept intact in the American version; an unusual move, considering Nintendo of America’s heavy censorship issues at the time. All these changes remained for the European version, but the game manual still mentions Nazis. The story featured in the English version of the game begins with a search for Super Joe, who was the main character of Commando.
