Tekki! Tekki!
 

I just pre-ordered Steel Battalion :D :D :D :D :D

Damn! It's gonna be the sweetest game ever!!!

2 more weeks!!!

I ned to open a Mutual Fund so that I can offord it by 2006:D

Definitely looks sweet, and I would LOVE to play it. Maybe if I'm lucky Blockbuster will rent it for like $25 of something.

i would have to sell my ps2 and GCN to afford this game, and i dont even have an xbox......

oh well, looks cool though

whats tekki?

Gekko, you've joined the few....the proud...the freakin insane...

;)

LOL. I saw that post at IGN ;)

Tekki is the Japanese name for Steel Battalion.

I put my head in shame. My friend has pre-ordered that and I think its just a waste of money. I can do many things with $200.;):D

Maybe if it doesnt sell well, they will make an arcade version. Or at least somebody else will make a similar arcade game...with a simpler controller...

No way in hell Im buying it...thats for sure.

It's not supposed to sell well.

:rofl: A game that is supposed to sell bad... I guess that's new. :)

As long as they make profit on it.

what he meant was, it's not expected to sell well. I mean, how many billionaires ARE there an Earth? :p

It's for the hardcore fans, not the casual videogame players. It will sell quite well to the audience that it is directed towards.

I'm thinking that there is a high mark-up on the controller portion of this game. They're probably making over a 50% profit I would hope.

Well... I think the game is $50 and the controller is $150, so the controller is a huge chunk of the overall price.

I debated getting the import version back in September... but it would've ran me $300+ due to shipping. I salute you Brian for your Jou da vive (hope I didn't f--- that up) Apparently the game is only shipping to pre-orders and Capcom plans to only make 20,000. I heard the Japanese version has already been heavily discounted in Japan, so maybe I can drum that one up on the cheap.....
