I remember my friends being addicted to this game awhile back.

Between Cave Story, Super Meat Boy, Defend Your Castle and this...it seems like WiiWare becoming the destination for the free indie games getting onto the consoles. I wonder how long until Desktop Tower Defense, the Knytt series, La-Mulana, or anything from devs like Cactus or Annie make it to the WiiWare.

Never heard of it. But I wouldn't mind a fighting game for WW.

Yeah, not really interested in this. I love fighters, but this is just...different. I'm definitely gonna have to try it before I give it a whirl.

After looking at the website I am very curious at this game. If all the online functionality and other features are included I think I'd check it out.

I don't know how the hell this game works nor do I really want to figure it out at the moment. Just from watching the video, it doesn't look like the player is given much control at all, but that's just me assuming. Here's to hoping we get a more informative video in the future.

Normally, I'd be ecstatic about a fighting game finally coming to WiiWare, but the description and video make it sound too complicated. I'll read multiple reviews on this before I decide if it's worth taking a chance on. One problem with WiiWare is that you can't rent the games to try them out before you buy them.

i'm sorry, but can we please get one good, normal fighting game on a nintendo system? Bleach DS 2 isn't enough.

@Bulbasaurus Rex

It's freely available online, if you want to check it out. It may not be exactly like the Wiiware versipn in the end, but it'll still be good to try.

@wanderlustwarrior

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core doesn't count?

I liked it, but could never get the hang of the whole thing. They should make it simpler now that it's gonna be on wiiware, so that anyone can play.

A lot has been said about how we’re a tactical fighting game..

I believe we’ve evolved some way from that. What started as sophisticated fighting strategy has become a way to utilise full-body motion control.

Here’s what we can do in Toribash today. Yes we have a steep learning curve but the results of mastering this are truly rewarding.

I’ll let these vids speak for themselves.

Enjoy...

this game LOOKS incredible, can't wait to play it, i'm downloading the pc version now

With Blood in Germany or censored? That is the question...

I think this isn't bad, if you are interested in the beat em up genre and looking for something new. Nevertheless, this is not to my taste. And why are the dolls bleeding so much? Oh, I understand: This is a new developed red machine oil. All right.

wow this thing is pretty complicated. seems cool, but it's not a normal fighter by any stretch, in fact i would be hesitant to call it a fighter.

I am studying a real martial art and would love to try and emulate the different moves with this game. That's probably the biggest interest for me.

This looks awesome. I've played a game like this in 2D form and I was so addicted. Now that it's 3D, this is a must download for me

So basically this game is like a sort of make-your-own-fighting game. Looks really cool and what not and the video was certainly impressive. I'll keep an eye on this one to be sure.

The video shows the blood and gore, but it may not be part of the final product, or it could be an option.

@mickeymac:
looked at it, but haven't played it. does it come recommended?

@ wanderlustwarrior (#9): "i'm sorry, but can we please get one good, normal fighting game on a nintendo system?"

You mean Tatsunoko vs. Capcom?

@ News: Cool, i like games with unique gameplay =).

@ness: but, i'm in America, and you're in Germany. neither one of us SHOULD be able to play that game (I don't mod my wii). otherwise i'd jump at the chance to play as Joe again.
...but this is an arguement for another day (or forum).

I've looked into videos posted elsewhere (youtube) on an older version of this game, and it looks good. Creative and brutal, but creating every move could get tedious, especially in multi-player play. do we know if there are any preset moves to work off of?

This game looks sweet. I like the make-your-own moves the best. For make your own moves, I think there should be like a replay funcion like in MaBoShi, so if you're playing around and you make this KILLER move, you can send it to your friends or upload it for all to see (a la BlastWorks)

Wow, there's blood and gore in it? We could have WiiWare's first M rated game.

Wery interesting! The fighting genre needs fresh takes like this, and if it´s avaliable on Wii I don´t mind! Hopefully it´s fun to play as well. I´ll check out the PC version to start with.

Wait, I dont get this game. Is it essentially a realistic fighting game?

I played this on the pc and it is really good. It is fun because you can really control what your character does. And the moves you can pull off are amazing. Can't wait to see particle effects system comes into play. Instant buy for me.

Too much blood. It ruins the game.

@Apocalypse: The blood adds to the game. Without it the game would not be as good as it is.

@wanderlustwarrior

Yes, Guilty Gear is excellent, and the Wii version is just as good as any.

I'll probably end up buying this anyway. There better be wi-fi seeing as the original had online.

I think I'll play it right now and try to get a little better before I even think about this.

Nice use of customization here - let's hope that the rest of the game doesn't fail on us - with the controls and replay-ability being two aspects that could make or break this game's quality.

It's not much of a game really, and creating moves can be quite the challenge. I've previously downloaded the "game" on my Mac, and I tried to get into it, but, ultimately, I don't have the patience for the pain-staking minute changes one has to make for every fraction of a second.

Don't expect to be able to pull off anything you see in the trailer anytime soon.

the game could use some pre record moves, meaning if you think you've got an awesome move you can preset the move so it's one click, as it is now, the game requires alot out of you every turn, and it's more than i can really handle considering the small time window you've got to have your turn in.

overall i like the pc version, but it could be better, and hopefully that what they plan to do on the wii. I also don't really under how this will work on the wii, it's hard enough with a mouse.

looks awesome but im worried about controls

Hey guys!!! I found this awesome flash version of this game, but it's in 2D form.

http://www.topfreegame.com/game/toribash/

It is definitely not the same as the vid (of course) but it'll give you a feel of how it is to make moves. Hope I've helped!

@Ness- You mean Tatsunoko vs. Capcom? You mean Not Likely Vs. Leaving Japan?

eww! that flash game, is a very very poor representation.
if you want to see what the real game is like it's only 8 meg. give it a whirl

@ Objection_Blaster (#39):

Capcom said there is a chance for a release outside of Japan, so let us hope^^.

I usually hate fighting games, due to the whole reflex factor, but this game sounds pretty interesting. The emphasis on strategy would be great for the reflexively-impaired like me. Thoguh I'm a bit turned off by the plain-white backgrounds.

This game looks rather... how do you say... oh yeah violent.

The game really is about working out how natural body physics work, then you reflect then you react to environment settings such as force and gravity.

It gets intense especially in grapple style fights, where you have to read your opponents moves and attempted throws and manipulate your tori to counter and. So fights become more technical vs more action oriented.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ6ozx_3gm0 shows a realistic throw you can achieve in multiplayer.

Here's a good example of a fight replay that used body physics well to execute a realistic kick.

Thanks for the link, Mojo! Here's hoping that the controls work better in the 3D version.

Amazing amounts of violence for characters made only with circles.

this reminds me of a game that came out long ago called ballz 3d for the sega genesis, except it was a regular fighting game, with less blood. and truly horrid game
