Very nice. We just got those in today... that is one big mother fucking box. I guess if I had any interest in owning an Xbox I'd got one of those also.
Thanks for the impressions, dcharlie.
So there's no way to increase the size of the playfield by toggling the cockpit display? That's too bad.
So exciting... I need this.
Nice impressions :) The game interests me, and at the same time its hefty price, and possible complicated Mech controls scare me away :)
Good to hear that controls are not that bad. I still wonder how often will you need to rush to press Eject button, in the fit of panic trying to save your data :lol:
Great impressions DCharlie. Keep the input coming !!
I'd like to know what the Japanese gamers are thinking about this game - could you sum up some of their impressions for us ??

I can't wait to pick mine up. I've already put $200 cdn down on this sucker at my local EB.

Thankfully, Orta won't be competing for my time with Tekki. Just Shinobi, Fusion, Prime, Contra, and Substance :)
Contra wins. ;)Quote:

November Chibi.
Both Contra and Shinobi worth waiting for :)
So since Steel Batallion will cost 5x the price of other games this Fall, does that mean that it has to be 5x as good to be worth the cost ??
Hrmmm...

There's no way I'm getting out of November alive.Quote:

Too...many...AAA...games. Wallet...giving...out.
Excellent! I love big horking robots! This game excites me. ;)
This sounds like a game I'll be super excited about, find some way to waste my money on, sing it's praises, but end up only playing like a hour and never touching.... due to me sucking at it. Like Seaman....

I find it mildly unnerving that someone took the time to compile that, but it should be enough to send all you set-up freaks into paroxysms of sheer pleasure.
Awesome pic Mode !!!!
Go Domokun!
MMmmmmmm.... domokun like!!!!!
Ahhh damnit.
The game sounds more like EarthSiege or Mechwarrior than it does GunGriffon.
Meaning I'm going to probably wait some time before picking it up.
*bounces around madly* I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! I want! :D
WAIT? wait and what? pay $400 for it on ebay, since nobody is going to get any extras...and even if somebody does pick their pre-order up, it not like it will sit it the store for more than 2 hours...Quote:

Contra better be really, really good to make up for how goddamn retarded it looks.Quote:

Oh well. I'll live without it, if that's the case.Quote:

There were some awesome pics in that thread. And after viewing them all, I have decided that I still have no interest in the game at all. But man, I really want that damn controller.Quote:
What do you mean? I would understand if you said it about Shinobi, but I dont see no changes done to Contra, other than its being 2.5d game. :eek:Quote:

It looks like Dragon heart and Skeleton Warriors to me... I can't speak for anyone else though... I agree Shinobi looks like ass too.Quote:

Shinobi looks ok to me.
Anyway - Great impressions, I've got it pre-ordered and I sincerely doubt that this game will be easy to get any time after it's released.

Alright, I know a couple people talked about how small the screen is in Tekki. From the latest EGM:Quote:
Although you can jump into SB for quick, random battles, its real depth lies in the Campaign mode, where you'll be able to customize your mech's armor and its various munitions. In total, there are 18 robots - each with different cockpits and physics - that you can pilot throughout the game. "In the first third of the game, the canopy view in the mechs will be much smaller," says producer Atsushi Inaba. "As technology improves, you'll have better mechs with more streamlined cockpits." In fact, one of the later mechs we saw picked up enemy tanks with its arm and sped around like a hovercraft. Rad stuff.
Holy cow. That EGM quote may have pushed me over the edge.
This has probably already been discussed, but is this game shipping to all retailers, or this is a GameStop/EB only deal? I find it interesting that Amazon isn\'t taking preorders for it.
*starts to plan a clever "cat playing Tekki" pose for upcoming picture*
Mine has been ordered, now to wait until the November of Financial Ruin. Doom, doom, doom...

Gamestop is getting the lion's share of the SB's allocation in the US, according to posts from their little vidogame summit held just recently, so that's probably the best place to preorder.
