I got toribash for wiiware and it is so addicting! You should get it.
Theres a bunch of fun games for wiiware like excitebike and stuff.

can't torrent it either which is the benefit of it being on a closed platform like that

Playing this game through once when powerleveling Scott to full stats and his special tech 2 on a ps3 controller was fun...  but seriously, nothing compares to putting it on a decently large CRT and playing the game again on an arcade stick.  All I needed was random arcade machine noise in the background and I was a kid in an arcade again.  Going to get some friends to swing by and bring their sticks for the full effect.

Been playing off and on. I wait till my bro in law comes over so we can co op. It is worth the wait. I think this game is about ten times funner with another person and some SNACKS.

I've also discovered that using the Street Fighter 4 fight pad is the optimal way to play this game on the 360.

also the soundtrack is oooout... Though I can't find it on any d/l stores in the uk, boo, boo i say to that...

ITS OUT ON 360 Y'all.

Also: I love the way the music transitions in the game. That shit is fantastic.

Also: DAMN this game is BRUTAL

I'm pretty sure it's just Xbox 360 and PS3. Which is garbage, because if it can run on those it can run on PC. >:(

This is a total myth, and it's sad that the games industry really thinks this. The truth of the matter is that most Wiiware games are garbage, and they don't sell well because they are garbage, not because they are on Wiiware. The good games have seen strong sales on Wiiware... World of Goo, Megaman 9 & 10, Lost Winds, etc. These are all 3rd party games too. It's a great service for those companies that are willing to give it an honest effort and market their games properly.

Sure, but I'd imagine they probably made a very conscious (and very budgeted) decision to just made the PS3/Xbox versions. It's not like they could just flip a switch on the graphics and toss it out there. Shit takes time and money, and as far as the digital download space goes, putting stuff out on PS3 and XBOX is a way safer bet since they both have bustling online marketplaces, which Nintendo does not (for the time being). Generally stuff just doesn't sell on wiiware unless it's castlevania or the bit trip games. Or Tetris.

I mean, in my perfect world every third party game would come out on every system ever, but realistically you gotta triage that shit.

exactly! So excuse my ignorance.. is this a pc based game? or... what's the deal w/ it?

wait this sounds like the SHIT. playing this on a cab sounds like the perfect way to experience the game!!

Well, his code and graphics are both GPL, which allows for free use and exploitation as long as it's credited back to the original author and the source is given. If he wanted to push it, and could prove they used his stuff, he could force them to remove it or open the source of the game. And put his name in the credits.

being a nube to this game... i just looked it up.. looks like a lot of fun...

i'm wondering if it could be ported to a stand alone processor w/ RGB output (without going to mame)... i'd love to stick it in
my 4 player Jamma cab and rock it traditional arcade style.

I only have a Wii and a DS and I don't regret it one bit. I have great games for both systems, and enough multiplayer games for when my friends come over. I don't really care that I'll miss out on this game, it's just a game. If anything, Ubisoft missed out on some serious profit potential.
