Capcom Talks Bionic Commando Wii Possibilities

Not that it’s happening or anything, but at least there’s a little ‘what if’ going on. Capcom’s Ben Judd, in response to fan interest that he helped fuel regarding a Wii iteration of the game, recently had the following to say to MTV, via Kotaku:

“I understand where [the fans] are coming from. If we did a Wii version it would not be with one-to-one swinging”¦ you couldn’t do [that] for more than 10 minutes.”

Uh, isn’t that a given? I sure don’t wanna swing my arm back and forth every time I’m latched onto something. What I do want to see is some simple, intuitive pointer/waggle implementation a la Twilight Princess (Clawshot?) or Mario Galaxy, which I think could make a 3D iteration of the series that much cooler.

Speaking of which, anybody else totally turned off by the 360/PS3 version’s main character? He reminds me of Casper Van Dien, and that’s not good. The character design for the awesome-looking Rearmed, on the other hand, is retro perfection.

What would you like to see in a Wii version of Bionic Commando?
