Battle Rage: The Robot Wars: Good name, bad publisher

Battle Rage: The Robot Wars evokes a lot of things that are awesome in video games: Battle. Rage. Robots. Also war. That title tells you pretty much what's going to be happening in Destan Entertainment's fighting game, which had been announced for PC but as yet unpublished, and is now being released for Wii. It's a four-player arena combat game between giant fighting robots. Robots who face off with ranged and melee weapons in a series of open stages. Sweet.

Battle Rage: The Robot Wars (the subtitle is added for the Wii version) is being published by Popcorn Arcade, which is part of publisher Data Design Inter- oh. Never mind. We let ourselves get all excited over a Data Design Interactive game.

is that a screenshot? looks like an updated version of this battling robot arcade game I used to play, with mech-like bots that had like three different weapons, a primary, secondary, and a special (or bomb) and then you could add to them by like > primary or ^secondary, and it would change the attack, kind of like brawl. you could also fly for a short amount of time if you double tapped the joystick down, or sprint left, right and forward by double tapping those directions. If they base it on this, it might be...ok.

the game you're thinking of (which i cant believe you cant remember the name) is called Virtual On. It was for the Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS2 as well. The Saturn being the only version besides the arcade that had a twin stick controller available.

these screenshots are from the pc version * see http://www.battle-rage.com * ... doubt it will look close to that good on wii, because wii game designers are extremely lazy (especially ones at Data Design Interactive, and if u dont know what i mean, look up some of their wii titles)

but, u never know, maybe they will pull off a worthy game in the sea of trash.
