Monday Night Combat isn’t Team Fortress 2 or Smash TV, We Promise

Uber Entertainment has announced they will be releasing an interesting looking title for the Xbox Live Arcade later on this year. And by “interesting” I mean “I guess these guys have played Team Fortress 2 a couple times.” It seriously looks just like it, except placed in the world of Smash TV. Which begs the question- how with all the reboots and remakes and reimaginings have we not gotten a new Smash TV? I used to make that statement about Splatterhouse but the great lord of video games finally answered my prayers on that one.

Not to take away from Monday Night Combat of course, I’m a huge fan of easily digestible and fun XBLA multiplayer titles and don’t think we can ever have enough of them. It is a shame the trailer shows absolutely no discernible game play outside of showing us what a cyberpunk Team Fortress 2 cgi show would look like, although I don’t think there has been a video game trailer or commercial that has actually showed gameplay since Sonic 3 so I can’t hold that against them. I’m interested in seeing where Uber takes this title to make it stand out.

Trailer that tells you absolutely nothing after the jump.

I’m sure it will be fun as all hell, XBLA has really given developers the opportunity to make entertaining bitesized games that pack a punch. Splosion Man is still a huge blast (I promise I didn’t mean for that to happen) and I still even dust off Madballs every now and then, so adding a Smash TV meets Team Fortress 2 title to the mix will probably be awesome, assuming it is good of course.
