Capcom released a video showing a boss encounter in their upcoming Wii brawler, Spyborgs. Normally, I would ignore anything named "Spyborgs" on principle because I think that is a terrible name which evokes a sense of the very worst in exploitative, merchandise-oriented Saturday morning cartoons. And, yeah, that feeling isn't going to be changed by this video, which just screams, "you can probably buy toys of this crap!"
Seeing the combat to be a mix of basic brawling and quicktime-event special moves, I'm probably going to skip this one. It doesn't look all that thrilling to me. Hamza and Dale played the game at E3 and seemed to find it passable but nothing to get too excited about.

While I do not mind local co-op beat-em-ups in the vein of LEGO Star Wars, the cheesy vibe and "genericization" of the title for an audience that was not going to buy it anyway kind of turns me off.
Also, that 1st websiode of this is fucking terrible.

Better keep talking Capcom, and a little louder next time to down out the overwhelming sound of FAIL.
