Bionic Commando

Anybody else out there play this game back on the NES?
I was living in southern Alberta in Canada when the NES cost $99 in the U.S. for the action set. That gave you the console, the light gun and the combo cartridge of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. My mom was going down across the line to the nearest large city (not huge by any stretch of the imagination), Great Falls, Montana. I really don't remember if I either couldn't go for some reason, or just didn't want to, but I gave her the money and asked her to bring me back the NES action pack as well as another game. I had no clue what game I wanted, just told her to bring me back some action type game. When they got back later that day (yes, it was day trip close), she showed me what additional game I had gotten. Bionic Commando. At the time I had never heard of it and had no clue what to think. I just put it off to the side and gave my attention to Mario and Duck Hunt for the first while. When I finally decided to try out Bionic Commando I thought it was the coolest game I had ever seen up until then. And now they have updated it. You can play co-op with another bionic, as well as new weapons, not to mention the visual make-over. Announced for the PC, PS3 as well as the XBOX 360.
Check out the trailer:
