I pulled this off the assembler board. It seems pretty neat. Not sure if I'd buy it though. Maybe it'll be something to collect on the side. You think this will be in the VG or toy section of stores?

Hooray for sites ripping off content so they can get their ad bucks!
Anyway, it looks...well...I don't know, I'll have to see if any games I like come out for it, but fighters aren't really my bag, especially not early 3D ones.
Kinda funny how this "barcode battler" idea resurfaces again and again - somebody took the "razors cheap, blades for profit" anecdote pretty literally, looks like.

I doubt it will be very interesting. Looks like another attempt to cash in on the plug and play market.

If you see the commercial... its actually decent looking screens
maybe ps1 quality? Definitely beyond any plug n play stuff ive seen. This just may become part of VG collecting for some folks... I mean Pico is somewhat legitimate right? and this thing had wolverine in 3d beating some dude up on the commercial....

Well, they are promising an add on to turn it into a full blown Foreman Grill, but given Mattel's track record in this area, I'd be skeptical.

I'm sure it will be price around 50 bucks, which will be more then enough for some people to bitch about. LOL

Works for me. It's a Flash site, so if you don't have it installed, or didn't wait for it to load, that might explain it.
