Simon Viklund is living the dream. Not only is he the composer for the upcoming 3D Bionic Commando title, but he is the composer and creative director of Bionic Commando Rearmed as well. With all that under his belt, Simon has cause to be a cocky, yet nothing could be further from the truth. In our discussions he repeatedly stated how humbled he was to be working on the first home console follow ups to the original NES Bionic Commando, a game that he has loved for most of his life.
Simon is doing everything he can to make these projects live up to Bionic Commando name, and his love for his source material really shows. As a result, the only thing more fun at the E3 08 Capcom booth than playing Simon's games was talking to him about gaming, so much so that after conducting this interview on Day One , I popped in on him on Day two just to hang out.
Hit the jump for video of Simon's BC cosplay and interview skills in action.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
