Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor

Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is headed to Kinect-enabled Xbox 360s this
summer. See what kinds of wildly-patterned mechs you can get if you
pre-order.

We see soldiers loading shells, punching each other, and the player even shivs another in the gut.

Capcom today released a batch of new screenshots that show the hands-free mechs in action.

Ever since a new Steel Battalion for Kinect was announced, we have been wondering how exactly the original game's 40 plus button controller would translate into motion controls. Now we have a much better idea.

The Kinect/controller hybrid was on display at Microsoft's Spring Showcase, and we had a chance to try out the novel motion controls. Also check out the game's new trailer.

The original Steel Battalion required an expensive controller that
looked as complex as an aircraft’s cockpit. From Software’s sequel to
this mech combat game only requires a Kinect, but does that mean it will
be easier to control?

Capcom has released a new trailer for the game, which adds Kinect support to a traditional controller interface.

Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is among
the first games to utilize Kinect in tandem with a traditional Xbox 360
controller.
