Capcom announced today that its Bionic Commando reboot is hitting the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on May 19. A European release will follow on the 22nd. Players take control of Nathan Spencer, the one and only arm-swinging man and machine hybrid, in an effort to stop a group of bio terrorists attempting to detonate an assumed nuclear device over Ascension City.

First released as an 8-bit title on the original NES, the 3D Bionic Commando update features a multiplayer mode in which players can join up with friends over PSN or Xbox Live.
