Steel Batallion announced for Kinect

Niche mech title rumbles towards Microsoft's motion-sensing tech.

Steel Batallion: Heavy Armor has been announced for Kinect.

Steel Batallion became known for its niche-within-a-niche status - a Capcom mech game that used a giant controller with a massive panel and twin flight-style sticks. And even that wasn't quite hardcore enough, with in-game death punished by erasing your save file. Ouch.

Now Capcom has announced it'll bring a new version of the niche mech game to Kinect, which at least won't demand you buy an unwieldy peripheral as well.

Not much is known about the game yet but this will definitely garner interest as more details are revealed. Keep an eye on this one.

  1. Hmmmm! Interestin idea usin kinect to control ur robot (an a damn sight cheeper to boot too!!) this games just cryin out for a 'minority report' style control system, where ur pushin lil lights in mid-air!! (Ok not quite that, the buttons dont leave the screen, but u get the idea) could (potentialy) be awesome!! :o
