Don't fault us for being extremely excited about the prospects of Virtual On battles via Xbox Live Arcade. Instead, spend that time looking at crisp and clean direct-feed shots of the Sega mech fighter.

Perhaps we'll find solace in the VR customization option.

Until then, enjoy hi-def pics in our gallery below. Or, catch that trailer you might've missed.
