MyWii writes: "Spyborgs is a solid beat 'em up game for the Wii. The graphics are excellent and have a nice polished feel to them and the overall atmosphere of the game is good. The gameplay is based on the classic arcade beat 'em up and works very well in two player co-op mode. Although many would also argue that this style of gameplay is a little too old school and lacking in depth and innovation. The story is average, the gameplay does get repetitive and sometimes the difficulty is frustrating. However, the arcade styled graphics, sound and gameplay will definitely appeal to older fans who spent all their pocket money on titles such as Final Fight, Golden Axe or Double Dragon."
Mike Stout has shared some incredibly interesting insight into the development of Spyborgs.
Well that is interesting to know now. The game actually looked extremely polished from the Beta footage but the game play itself was still very lacking.

"The Wii has a great library of games including titles such as Super Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and most of Nintendo’s first-party titles. However, there are a lot of great titles that have been shrugged aside, for one reason or another, that I believe deserve a second chance."
~I loved Other M I don't care what anyone says, I'll take that to the grave. :D
The other m was f'n spectacular. Loved the mix of 2d and 3d, loved the combat, loved the story, loved the game period. It could've used a normal controller though. I loved how simplified it was and how it was like an NES game with modern graphics but it was a tad clunky switching between pointing and holding the wiimote like a NES pad. Personally I'd love it to turn into a series alongside a new retro trilogy for wii-u. Maybe a new 2d title for the 3ds to highlight the 3d and please classic metroid fans.
The wii actually turned out to be one of the best consoles. Not console (lack of hd killed it IMO) but library. Metroid Prime Collection, Other M, Zelda TP/SS, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Okami, Fragile Dreams, Fire Emblem, New DKC, Pandoras Tower, and many more damn good titles. I think people will look back more fondly. They kind of got the image of a kiddie casual console but in reality that was in addition to the core games not instead of.
"Spyborgs was released for the Wii on September 22, 2009 with a MSRP of $39.99. The game was developed by Bionic Games and published by Capcom, and it received an ESRB rating of "Teen" with "Crude Humor, Fantasy Violence, Mild Language" being listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours have U.S. Wii owners reported playing Spyborgs since the game released? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
