Infogrames announced today that it will release Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee on the Xbox in Spring 2003. Developed by Pipeworks Interactive, the popular multi-player fighting game has been available on the GameCube for several months and features nearly a dozen monsters from Toho's sci-fi movies.

But this won't be any normal port; plenty of features are in store for this new version:

An improved version of G: DAMM should be fantastic. Good to see more companies doing a bit more than just port games over.
