MyWii writes: "Wiiware has seen plenty of fighting games lately, such as the dragon-based Dragon Master: Spell Caster and now Mech-based Overturn: Mecha Wars. This game pits your robot against others in a tournament.
The game starts off with mech selection. Each robot has different attributes such as full-frontal attacks, long-range attacks, high speed and health, or the all-rounder robot. In the garage or main screen, you'll be able to customise the weapons on the robot, which will affect your attacks. You can also test the performance of the robot in a testing zone."
Vandal.net: The video game giant robots have possibly hundreds, and there is something very attractive in mechanical devices since the time of Dr. Hell (dissertation title unknown), or even earlier.
Virtual On is probably to blame but even that was a fairly minor entry in Sega's pantheon of arcade classics.
Nevertheless that's the experience this is seeking to emulate.
If you haven't played Virtual On or its small gaggle of copycats it's not a very complex idea.
You control one of four impractical looking robots moving around a fairly large, but largely empty, arena. Your goal is simply to turn another rival robot into a burnt out toaster oven before he does the same to you.
With Overturn: Mecha Wars finally on its way to European shores, Nintendo Life took the time to catch up with Studio Zan's CEO, Makoto Sunaga, and fire off some questions about the robot battling title.
