Steel Battalion? One of the best games to ever hit the original Xbox. It's a game where you control a giant mech using two joysticks, three foot pedals and a 40 button controller that came with every game. Steel Battalion was great, but the huge price tag prevented a lot of people from experiencing it.
The controller doesn't have any use outside of Steel Battalion, but Japanese VJ, Bonsajo, modded his into something useful. His controller mod allows him to fade, scratch, change color and do all sorts of other things to images appearing on the screen that I don't really fully understand why but STEEL BATTALION!
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

as a mech fan I can assure you Steel Battalion has alot of hype. The Mech Warrior series play much better than SB did. Still - what a great way to modd the $200 controller.

What is your problem, dude? Why is every comment you ever post amount to "this is so fucking stupid"? What's up your butt?
I think the time is right for a next-gen steel battalion with a redesigned control console. Maybe something a little smaller and sleeker looking.
Rock band and Guitar Hero and Wii fit (the list goes on) have proven that people will shell out extra money for a game that requires plastic crap to play it.
This game/controller was sweet. I never had the cash to purchase myself back in the day (or an xbox for that matter), but played it at my friend's crib. Definitely brought that arcade cabinet feel home.

Want to try to do what he's doing then? It's far from stupid. He's a VJ, they do a lot at clubs.
