Capcom's retro reimagining of the NES classic Bionic Commando has been keenly met, shifting some 130,000 copies since its release on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC a mere seven days ago.

A canny reprising of the classic franchise before it's treated to a brand new outing early next year, Bionic Commando Rearmed has proven a hit with critics, scaling the heights of our own scoring system with a mighty 9.4. Producer Ben Judd seemed suitably ebullient when breaking the news on the game's official blog.

"Basically, we have set a standard in digital gaming. Consumers voted with their dollars. They have sent the message loud and clear - We are tired of meta-emulated crap; we want the titles of yesteryear to be paid the proper respect; we want them done right, and if the price is right, we'll buy. The bar has been raised."
