The Wii has a great fighting game on retail disc (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) but downloadable brawlers are scarce for WiiWare. Actually, they're nonexistent. Toribash hopes to change that when it brings its customizable fighter to Nintendo's service. The game is already available as a free download for PC and Mac and bears the tagline "Violence Perfected." What sets the game apart from other fighting games is that players design their own moves. It sports a minimal art style but we should have a lot of freedom to create personalized attacks. Your character has 20 joints that can be played with.
Once you've implemented your own fighting style you can play against other Toribashers online. The game will support ranking, matchmaking, and chat messages.
Wii owners will be getting an exclusive feature in their version of Toribash: hair! The models are bald but can be customized with different hair styles and colors.
Toribash does not have a release window, yet, but we'll have more info on this intriguing WiiWare game soon.
