New Bionic Commando trailer falls on the quirky side

Capcom's sense of humor shows through yet again

By now, most gamers have learned to appreciate Capcom's sense of humor, which shines through in a number of major titles -- Devil May Cry 4 and Dead Rising, more than any other.

Their Monster Hunter Freedom Unite "Phenomenon" trailer certainly reaffirms this, as their peculiarities shine through in their advertising.  The "Phenomenon" video gives us a glimpse into Japan's obsession with Monster Hunter, narrated by a faux British reporter with a nutty disposition.

Now you know.  Of course, their new Bionic Commando video might actually top that.  I'm thinking Capcom got tired of the usual cinematics and gameplay footage, but at least it makes quite an impression.

It's got some fake violence, an announcer shout-singing enthusiastically, referencing a lot of adverts we saw in the '90s.  Might brighten up your Wednesday, too.
