Battle Rage: Robot Wars is a new game in development for the Wii and PC by Data Design. The game looks like it has the potential to be a good fighter, the only problem is that Data Design is a subsidiary of the nitrous shovel ware kings, Popcorn Arcade.
Still, I can't hope but holdout a little bit of hope (probably foolishly) that this title will offer something more then Popcorn's previous titles.

Data Design Interactive managing director Stewart Green said,
"Battle Rage is already an excellent game on the PC, but we saw the potential for the title on the Wii and jumped at the chance to develop it further for Nintendo's system. With our proven technology and the GODS engine all aspects of the original game will be effortlessly transferred over to the Wii. The combination of the high-end PC graphics, proven gameplay and addition of motion control will make for a very compelling and enjoyable experience."
Teyon, a successful videogames developer and publisher, unveiled today a list of forthcoming Nintendo DSiWare and WiiWare titles sechdueld for release this year. Including Sports titles, Puzzle games, Sims and Shooters, Teyon are certainly looking towards having all their bases covered.
Battle Rage: The Robot Wars is the first 'REAL 3D' console game, by using stereoscopic glasses on the Nintendo Wii. A third-person Shooter with elements of a Beat-'Em-Up game that allows a player to control giant robots. It will offer standard visual mode or visually stunning 3D graphics mode.
This is from Data Design Interactive. If you've heard of them, you already know this game is going to be terrible. If you've not heard of them, let me just say this: They made "Ninjabread man", possibly one of the worst games made since ET.
It's pretty much the benchmark for "shovelware" on the Wii. I believe it was ported from the PS2 as well.
ahahahaha I just watched the IGN video review, lmao he ripped it, lol it looks terrible haahaha. "Their's uh jumping" "Take a pick, anythings better than this"
They pick something which looks interesting and market it as the next big thing, they are apple now. I wouldn't mind if they did it well, but they are always more concerned with doing it first, like the wiimote, they made sure it was there first just to associate it with themselves and make anyone else look like a copycat, then a few years later they make it decent(hopefully) with the motion plus.
Edit: Ok my bad got annoyed pretty quickly there but expect it to be followed pretty swiftly by "Wii Space" or something.
The cell > knowledge
I don't see knowledge doing 1080p at 60 fps...
Just had to ;)
WOW Soda Popinsky knowledge has infinite power you go to sleep and dream a whole world rather than making one in 4 years development time. Also your mind doesn't have any resolution it's infinite in it's detail that is if you have knowledge of what you are seeing.
Seriously the cell is god stuff was cool when it was still on a napkin. We've all moved on the real deal chips now and direct X 11.
On subject I wait till I see it live. Also nintendo had nothing to do with this.
The first Real 3D game on consoles was Contra: Legacy of War. It also could be played in normal or 3D mode wearing red and blue glasses that came with the game. I rented it and it was pretty bad, the top-down view didn't help things and it was too dark to play in 3D mode.

3d Worldrunner for the NES,which was made by square in the 80s. I remember this game because I used to play it back in the day.

Now...where did I put my green and red 3-D glasses that came with the latest issue of Mickey Mouse?
UK outfit Data Design says it's applying for a patent to use Wii motion-sensing tech to detect head movement
3D gaming has put innovation back to the forefront of the developer's remit.
That was the belief offered by Rob Dorney, Art Director at UK studio Data Design Interactive.
Data Design is currently working on the vibrantly-titled Battle Rage: The Robot Wars, a game which the studio has billed as the "first ever 3D console game". The Wii edition of Battle Rage is based on the PC title of the same name, developed then by Destan Entertainment.
