    although this game looks pretty cool, i dont really think of it as a beat em up so much due to all the fact that youre stuck on one plane.

    i always hated that and 1 player beat em ups? yeah thats just a cardinal sin.

    beat em ups arent really stale so much as they just dont come out anymore. seriously whens the last time one came out that wasnt a remake.. i dont consider castle crashers a beat em up because its really a 2d hack and slash. the closest thing we've recently had to a beat em up is arkham asylums combat.. and that as a 2 or more player game would be insanely awesome.

    Think Fatal Fury? So it's a one-on-one fighter a la Street Fighter featuring multiple plain switching and combat grading?

    Also, a serious "HELL NO" to beat-em-ups being an old and stale genre. What the hell do you think Castle Crashers is? And for that matter, what do you think games like Batman: Arkham Asylum were most directly descended from? Not Mario Bros, I can assure you of that.

    @the7k: Well, if you really want to pick nits, all side scrolling games descended from Mario.

    @loempiavreter: That's insane. I never knew that game had so much depth. The most I knew was the special command moves (dragon punch motions).

    What console(s) is this for? Is this going to be a PSN/XBLA sort of game, or something you have to buy the disc for. These important details are missing from the article.

    @PossibleCabbage: "Though platforms have not been announced yet, we played on...well we played on a box with a Xbox 360 wired controller, a Dreamcast controller, and an Atari 2600 controller wired into it. We actually used the 360 controller to play, so the game would be right at home on Xbox Live Arcade."

    So yeah, there you have it. It's coming out for the xbox, the Dreamcast, and the Atari 2600.

    @Revenge_of_Nekojin:

    Sadly, I don't think your typical Kotaku reader reads the entire article ... they just quickly scan over the details and then go to comment. Seems to be a common thing these days. "RTFA", I say!

    I didn't wait in the line to play this game, but I did watch others playing it and it is definitely a title I am looking forward to. I enjoyed their previous title, Eet's Chowdown, and based on the art style and grisly humor I saw on the floor, expect this to be something I'll be picking up.

    Why WOULDN'T he be playing with dolls is the question we should really be asking ourselves.

    I can't ever see a comment or story that mentions Crecente's hair without immediately watching this video afterward.

    Well, that'll teach Crecente to walk into the office of the CEO of Klei Entertainment and say "NO SIR! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!" and then promptly walk back out.

    Poor Crecente. *sniff* Uh, okay, can I have his video game collection?
