Bionic Commando and the soundtrack you won't hear on the Wii
One of the many reasons we love Bionic Commando and want to see it on the Virtual Console so badly is for its awesome, 8-bit soundtrack. So, when Capcom released Simon Viklund's album for Bionic Commando Rearmed, which reworks the NES songs into a more modern-day sound, we had to have it.We know that Rearmed isn't coming to the Wii, despite Wii gamers' pleas and petitions. Still, there's no denying the NES roots in Viklund's music, and just because we're not getting the actual game doesn't mean we should deprive ourselves of some great tunes, does it?
In fact, the folks at Capcom are releasing the soundtrack even though they think they'll lose money on it, simply because they love and believe in the music that much. After listening to it, we have to say that we can see why. If you're interested, you can get the full soundtrack on iTunes or at Sumthing Digital for $9.99 (or buy the tracks you like separately for $0.99).

Dear Capcom,
Thanks for giving no love whatsoever to the Wii in any form of Bionic Commando. I'll be finding an alternative way to get this soundtrack so my wallet can match your system support.

Listened to samples of the first 2 tracks, and their pretty cool. I think kids these days call it House Music.
I'm downloading from Sumthing Digital and its quite slow...

Hey, they are releasing a PC version and were are all typing on computers here. I don't know what the system requirements are off hand but I'm sure any newer computer could atleast run it on low settings(could be wrong though).
