While some people cling to the belief that you could wring some enjoyment out of Bionic Commando, like blood from a cold, heavy stone, most people ignored it. Didnât buy it. Why was that, Capcom?
As part of a Q&A from the companyâs recent fiscal earnings conference call, Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto gave his two cents.

Translation: broken game, blame management, blame Grin. Interesting that heâd single out Grin (and Capcomâs lack of thoroughness), especially when at the time of him saying this, the Swedish devs were still in business.
It wasnât all doom and gloom for Capcom, however, as Tsujimoto says the company learned a valuable lesson or two from the whole thing.
âEstablishing partnerships with subcontractors allows us to absorb their know-how and incorporate it into Capcomâs own development processâ the bossman said, consoling shareholders. âWe will take what we learned from âBionic Commandoâ and apply these lessons in the future.â
