Bionic Commando Rearmed update coming to XBLA as well

Worried about news that Capcom's Bionic Commando Rearmed was getting patched with Trophy support as well as new difficulty levels on PlayStation Network, with no mention at all of an Xbox Live Arcade patch? We feared the worst and asked Capcom to set us straight. A spokesperson told us, "Yes yes of course, same new Easier modes on both platforms." There you have it!

Eleven days ago Capcom's John Diamonon assured us that the patch (at least on PSN) "should be available real soon"; however, as of today, neither patch has appeared. We'll go ahead and assume the new release date is "really really soon."

Not to say there shouldn't be an easy mode (some people don't have the time or want to do the same part of a game over and over), but I thought the difficulty was part of the throwback to the old one. It certainly wasn't impossible; you can save the game, at least.

It's a lot easier thn the old one. With the save system in the new one, even if you loose all of your lives, it's not so bad. In the NES version, if you die and run out of continues, it's back to the title screen. The new one is way easier than I remember the old one, although the harder difficulties on the new one are actually challenging.
