To my knowledge, Steel Battalion will be rereleased on the 23rd as the single player mode with the controller for 199.99. The XBOX live version called Line of Contact will be released without controller on the 26th of this month.


www.ebworld.com is where i would preorder games online.

I kept wanting to get that game before I sold my XBox, I'd like to see how the game plays and that Mega-Super controller.

That's cool. So do all the switches on that big controller have functions, or are they just there for looks? I was always a giant robot geek...

"As you might expect, getting used to the controller is something that will take a fair amount of time. The left stick handles steering, while the right stick is used to aim your weapons. An analog pad on the left stick rotates your viewpoint around, letting you move in one direction while looking or aiming in another. A transmission lever on the left side of the panel lets you put your VT in reverse, neutral, and five forward gears. Triggers and buttons on the aiming stick are used to lock on to targets and fire your primary and secondary weapons. A cluster of buttons on the center console is used to rotate through your weapons and reload them when necessary. The radio dial is used to change communication frequencies, putting you in contact with different people on the battlefield. You'll also be able to activate a manipulator arm, which can be used to pick up tanks, hit switches, and so on."

It only gets more esoteric from there, including buttons to extinguish fires, wash your viewscreen, drop empty fuel tanks, override your VT's built-in safety limits, change your radar view, enable night vision, and change the color of your HUD. The pedals control your throttle, your brake, and your dodge ability. Then there's the all-important eject button, which is covered by a flip-up plastic cover. The controller definitely looks fit for a walking tank."

Cool. When you get the controller, let me know if I should hit it or not.
