'Bout time!
I've been waiting for this!

I will be the first to buy! Toribash meets Wii...AWSOMENESS!!! (or at least it should be!)

This is looking better than the PC version

Is this wifi? I like those fight moves. Hope controlling this won't be hard.

This to me doesnt look interesting. Is it just a case of whoever hits first wins? i know nothing about this franchise, but seriously, i dont see any combos or actual strategic street fighter fighting in this. Can someone who knows this title please explain lol

I like the premise behind this. I'll prolly give it a go if it gets at least OK ratings.

Great news. Hasn't been much info lately and I was getting worried this would turn out like Gravitronix. Glad to see it alive.

@5: Its look more of a strategy game then a fighter. If your looking for a street fighter kinda game with combos, specials, and all that stuff, then this probaly isn't your thing.

@6: Yeah, you do that.

i've never heard of this in my life... and have NO idea what's going on in this video... this is a fighting game?? are all the fights over in 3 seconds, after you run up and rip their body to pieces?? is there more to this game, or is that pretty much it? i'm so confused... i don't even know if i want this or not... or if i even think the video was cool... somebody explain things to me, please!

@bro2dragons
I'm with you there. I have NO idea what's going on in this video either. I can't even tell what's happening most of the time, let alone its purpose.

Erm, yeah, interesting video and all... but how do we actually PLAY this game? O_o

Looks interesting and bizarre. I think all the blood letting is stupid though.

Looks like Ballz... And it also looks like balls...

It`s free to play on the PC guys. If you`re curious, give it a go. About a year ago, my brother and I were addicted to it for a couple of weeks. It`s satisfying when you manage to break a guys arm off and beat him with it.

I`m definitely picking this up.

These free pc games end up being awesome guys, look at Cave Story. Can you use a game controller for the pc with this game?Phillips Retractable to be specific

Can someone who knows the PC version explain what the game is about. It seems not to be a common beat'em up game. Thats for sure. But what is it? The first picture looks as it is some kind of turn based game. With commands on the right side of the screen?

That looks great. Too bad we Germans most probably will never be able to play it

I played the PC version of this and was never anything close to impressed. Far too much micromanagement going on in the game for my tastes, so I'm not exactly hopeful about the WiiWare version being any less drab.

omega, it is a turn based game of sorts. Your fighters move a little, and the the game pauses while you choose to contract or extend the individual muscles of you fighter, and you opponent does the same. Then after a step or so, the action pauses again and you repeat. The idea is to respond to the movements you think your opponents making, whilst landing the killer blow yourself. You can also switch hands between grab and punch modes so you can do things like tearpeoples heads or limbs off. The short 3 second fights everyones seeing in this video are basically the replays from the end of a match. The game is much slower than that.

What on earth was going on there, blood, dismemberment, funky lookin' dudes?!? Never heard of it! But have now and am intrigued.
Thanks for the link Wyrmling, I'm gonna have a go, to find out what was going on in that trailer. 0_o

@Wyrmling
Thanks! Now no need to spend points on the WiiWare version!

@DaDun- It's turn based. You have a view of all of your guy's muscles, and you choose whether to contract, extend, hold or relax them. Then when you finish your go, the fighters both move at the same time. It's pretty fun on the PC, but quite hard to execute all those moves like walking.

@Alien Jesus: Thank you very much. So no insane button mashing to perform special combo attacks? Good. I think I could like that.

Lols, I was just playing the PC version before I came on here!
Spooky

The WiiWare version is basically Toribash PC Plus, apparently.

The PC version is one of the best freeware games there is. For all the people that are on the edge about this game, try the pc version. I just hope the online isnt laggy and they use the servers from the PC version, because we all know NON-Nintendo severs= NO FC

The blood makes it look stupid.

ZOMGOFLOPPLES! This game makes me want to do the whitey hop!
for your reference, it can be viewed here

lolol.

Hampa owe me 1000tc

On topic, this has a lot of benefits, you can improve on you art skills, marketing skills etc etc. It's a nice community as far as I know on the Pc version

maybe they should integrate the wii motes motion sensing technology so if u wanted to make a join extend/contract or whatever, all you have to do is wave your hands around like a moron!

on a more srs note: i am liking the graphics, but not the hair

Instant buy. No question about it. This game owns me since i decapitated Uke for the first time. If it´s only half as good as the PC version, it´s still gonna be one of the best Wiiware games.
I never thought i´ll like it when i read about it, but changed my mind pretty fast after playing it.

To answer the question about the "3 second matches", No there´s no such thing. In some modes, in which you lose if a bodypart, other than feet or hands, touch the floor, there´s a chance for such short replays, if you really go for losing the match, and fall directly to the ground. But if your opponent is somewhat active, you´ll probably have your ass kicked a couple of times anyway.
Every "turn" lasts longer than 3 seconds, so most matches are at least 1 minute, depending on the length of the turns, and game mode.

Oh, and just because limbs fly all over, that doesn´t mean the match is over. You can still move your body, and even the loose parts is usable.

I would sell my Wii for this game!
For people new to Toribash: It's unlike traditional smash button fighting games (you actually have to put thought behind what your doing). You move each muscle individually to create infinite amounts of moves. You could recreate your favorite wrestling moves, other fighting game moves, you can rip your head off and split your enemy in half with it, you could rip your enemies head off and split yourself in half with it! What your seeing in the video are replays of all this. The possibilities really are endless. If your curious, check youtube for vids.

Toribash, ahh it developed soo fast, i remember version 2.9 on PC.
Then watching it grow til version 3.5 then now there is 3.8, wonderfull times
Soon there will be a 4.0 (features more grafix stuff )
I love the trust thingy in this one, i might buy a Wii sometime.

To you newcomers, the learning curve is meant to be hard, but its soo fun when you first really learn how to play. then you can start developing tactics, analyse your opponents style and make your own style

Toribash Violence Perfected

About time! I'm totally getting this for my wii!

That will be awsome! -)

A Funny Comment, hampa owes me 1k

Looks great. Well done hampa!

I´m a little worried because it´s not listed on Nintendo UK´s site anymore...
