Pre-ordered and paid for. I am so looking forward to picking this up.

Only if reviews are awesome (which they aren't, so far).

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Camp, you need to dig up some of the old threads. the reviews ARE awesome

 

[Michael St. Clair]

I'm seriously considering it.

If it were playable online, I'd order it in a sec.

Maybe I should sell my Virtual On twinsticks and raise 50 bucks or so to help offset the price.

 

[Travis Olson]

Not a chance. Total waste of money if you ask me. Sure the controller is cool, but you can only use it with one frickin game and maybe a few sequels. Why not spend the money on another console or a video card/processor upgrade?

 

[Ryan Peter]

$150 for a controller isn't that bad, some people love expensive controllers. Weren't the original Maracas for DC around $90?

 

[Romier S]

Like Travis above, its already preordered and paid for. Very much looking forward to getting SB home and taking it for a test drive.

 

[Rob Lutter]

I want it... I just can't bring myself to do it

The Samba maracas were $79.99 on release in the US.

I can't wait to get behind the sticks and pilot my VT into battle!

I suppose you think anybody who owns their own arcade game(s) are idiots?

Actually, Capcom has made the drivers available to anyone who wants to support the sticks, so I fully expect future titles to support them
And I look at this as buying an arcade game, just a tad more portable.

I will not be picking this up. It's just plain to expensive for me right now. The reality is that I'm not much into mech games anyway...

 

[Michael St. Clair]

I will probably end up buying this (though I had only heard that the sequel, not expansion, will have full XBL online gameplay), but not at launch date. I'll read a lot of the final reviews

Besides, I really hope I'll be playing a lot of (arcade-ish, I know) Mech Assault online for a few months and that may take up most of my gaming time.

 

[Josh Lowe]

haha, $200 for a fighting robot game.

 

[Frederick]

I wish I could. Maybe I could convince someone to pick it up for me as a Christmas present ...
Is it really going to be XBox Live compatible? Anything to back that rumor up? That would be awesome ...

The 4 or 5 reviews I've read (not here) all indicated it was a solid game...but definitely not "awesome". I'm still waiting for more 'mainstream' reviews though.

 

[MikeAlletto]

I've heard its very realistic and you have a lot of control and it looks great, but I haven't heard anyone comment on whether its fun or not.

LOL, how could a game that involves huge Mech robots controlled by people inside them be realistic? I get your point though.
