The next time you want to settle a particular dispute with your equally geeky friend, do not do so over an arm wrestling match. How about a more geeky slant to your settlement? This is where Takara Tomy’ s BattroBorg 20 come in, where you wield a nunchuck-style controller in order to control it. Punch with your right or left hand, and it will perform accordingly in the arena as well. I suppose those who have had prior experience with Wii Boxing, this should not be too hard to master after a while.
Why it is called “BattroBorg 20”? That’s because maximum 20 people can battle at the same time and same field! The Omnibot BattroBorg 20 system relies on the 2.4GHz frequency to get the message across, where it is far more sensitive and responsive compared to infrared. Basically, you should not see any lag between your action as well as seeing it translate to the robot’ s movement. I suppose there is one way to cheat in this game – tickle your opponent in real life and then land a literal sucker punch on his robot after that.
This will be a must-buy for boys (young and old!), as well as for families so parents can play with children (and let off some steam!). The LED lights flash if the robot is hit and after five punches the player is out. There are also numerous different modes, from Knockout to Knock-Down and Ring Out, as well as Game of Tag for group games, and Sparring for solo practice sessions to improve your technique.
Equipped with LED light and speaker, gives you realistic battle play feeling! When being punched, the controller vibrates and sounds, much enjoy!
