WiiWare's first Mech-based fighting game enters the arena, but is it a champ or a chump?
WiiWare is very sparse when it comes to games that feature massive, hulking robots battling it out in an enclosed arena. Studio Zan therefore don't have to face much competition in the genre, so with that in mind let's delve into this game and see if they've...

Whilst many of us are used to WiiWare games consisting of puzzle games and the very odd platformer, we are starting to see some more ambitious games.

seems to me like a third person shooter,i hope it meets witht he same success as Onslaught
yea this looks cool
@koto I hope it gets more success. I got onslaught, but it wasn't as good as I hoped.....maybe I need to go play it more
Was on my potential insta-download list as soon as it was released in Japan.
looks a lout like Virtual-On to me, and that was a great game in its day!
C'mon, Nintendo. Bring Overturn to us soon! I was so happy once it got ESRB-rated. Let's hope we don't have to wait too long...
Giant robots fighting?! I'm so happy, I could cry. Sniff.
Its on "our list"...so where is it NoE?
So happy they will release that game monday (3rd of august)!!!!
Good graphics, good game play with the Wii-mote, even with Wii-balance board. For those who like Virtual-On, go ahead!
It s so cool, especially the on-line mode!
I played the JAP version and really liked it. Also, 800 Wii points, it is more than reasonable price...
videos is gone for ToS
looks cool game, but I still waiting for Contra Rebirth & DriftMania.
Has anyone gotten this? Is it any good?
well this looks amazingly boring and repetitive. brb throwing wii in river
Okie doke! Don't forget to throw yourself in there while you're at it! __
the video makes it look a lot like Armored Core Lite
I hope its good enough to purchase when I get some cash
Should I go play Virtual On, Armored Core, or this?
This game is actually very fun.
The graphics are fairly average, but the sound effects are great. The gameplay is surprisingly strategic. There's no lock-on for easy shooting, and the weapons seem pretty balanced so far. Not very many people are online yet, but hopefully some positive reviews will change that.
Also, you have to play through single-player with each mech to unlock all the weapons, so there is a decent amount of single-player here.
hmmmmm guess with 1200 points left ill buy
cool
Video's been removed due to terms of use violation?
I guess the game companies now think that free advertisements are a form of piracy either that or youtube is being overly cautious and removing all copyrighted content including legal advertisements that are actually beneficial to the game companies 0_o
