Batman: The Brave and the Bold impressions "It's a really fantastic title that's giving rebirth to an old genre."

GoNintendo

The actual graphics in the game match the cartoon perfectly. It's pretty much all 2d art assets, and they look like they're ripped straight from the series. WayForward definitely knows a thing or two about fantastic 2d animation, which they most recently showed off in A Boy and His Blob. It's very clear that they used some of those artistic skills in their creation of this Batman title.

What's the best part about this game? Well, it could be the fact that its an old-school 2d, side-scrolling beat'em-up. When was the last time you played a brand-new one of those?! That just so happens to be one of my favorite genres, and one that used to dominate the gaming scene. Seeing another one of those warmed my heart unlike anything else on the show floor.

Basically, all you do is hit A and B to do various attacks, and use them in different combinations to unleash a multitude of moves. You can uppercut, kick, leg-sweep, jab, grab, throw, slap and much more. You can also use the Z button to unleash your batarang, or any other number of utility belt items. You can even point at the screen to throw a batarang with pinpoint accuracy. You'll need all these moves to take out the waves of baddies that are looking to ruin your day.

Of course, Batman isn't the only playable character in the game. There are all sorts of different avatars to play as, and they feature different movesets as well. Robin was in there, as well as tons of other characters from the franchise that will be familiar to fans. You and your friend can take on the rolls of these superheroes and get into some local co-op fun, and then call in your alternate support character to unleash a devastating power move. There's plenty of superhero action to go around!

One of the really interesting features came through with a feature that most games don't use...DS connectivity. For those of you with a DS, you can connect to the Wii game and actually play as a support character. You can actually float around on the top of the screen and drop down goodies to help your friends. You can also drop bombs and other weapons to help fight the foes. Just make sure you don't get in the way of those attacks, as they can hurt you too.

I'm begging you guys to not underestimate Batman: The Brave and the Bold - The Video Game. It's a really fantastic title that's giving rebirth to an old genre. I went from being interested in this game to knowing that I'll definitely purchase it. I'll make sure I reserve it as soon as I get home!

Sorry but I'm not convinced. The 2-D brawler died out for a reason. I don't really see any big change here, so I'm not seeing how it's the rebirth of an old genre. Throw in all the characters you want, at the end of the day its still just punching and kicking until the screen gets cleared of enemies until you move forward and do it all again.  Maybe it'll be a hit with kids who like the cartoon, but I'm going to pass for now.

Microsoft has its lifestyle Kinect video out.

Lots of smiling happy people moving about.

I just read that Kinectimals is being developed by David Braben of Lost Winds fame.

So it will be awesome.

But also, WTF, Kinect cannot be played sitting down.

Two sources now.
