Indie studio Hexagon Games has revealed that its vehicular combat title Titan Tank Rumble is headed to the Wii U eShop.
Originally called DestructoTanks, the game is a "4-player online competitive game with leaderboards, featuring lots of hectic tank mayhem and explosions". The developer has compared the title to the Twisted Metal series, but crossed with N64-era Rare.
Only one screen has been revealed thus far, along with some eye-catching character artwork:

Bold claim. I hope they deliver.
Oooo I loved twisted metal, this will certainly be worth a look. Sounds good.
Well, thats...brave to compare yourself to those two.
Especially if your character art looks like a bad serach result on deviant art...
Wow. I don't think you could possibly disarm my interest in game more effectively in 140 characters or less than by describing it as "Twisted Metal meets N64-era Rare."
@WaveBoy Its a matter of taste really, there are probably people who like it.
The main problem i have with this artstyle is, that there is no overarching artistic theme.
Just look at the cast: Two anthros, one centurio, Shiva and two woman that...dont really represent anything whatsoever. Maybe a sorta native american style ?
And above all else...why tanks ? Vehicle combat games rise and fall by their creativity. For me, its cars strapped with ridiculous impossible weaponary, gokarts throwing turtle shells. A Tank is...well...already a combat vehicle.
So you have a cast of impossible creatures driving very possible vehicles.
I think you need to earn the right to compare yourself to either Twisted Metal or Rare.
All this reminds me of is cel damage on PS2 and even that is being generous.
Well that have made one hell of a pitch......goty even!! Let's just see what turns up from this shall we, at least it's coming to Wii u!!!
@WaveBoy Glad to see someone else who is a fan of Vigilante 8 and especially Rogue Trip. Rogue Trip is incredibly under-appreciated and far superior to Twisted Metal, IMO. I had a blast with it back when I was a teenager and replayed it again in more recent years. V8:Second Offense was a game I beat 100% (no small feat!) multiple times and actually memorized every special move button combo.
color me interested
Never played any Twisted Metal. However if this is something like Vigilante 8/ V8, them it's the game I'm waiting for since the N64 days.
Tell me it's a game of exotic cars with big guns, please.
You had me at Twisted Metal.
Been fiending for some car combat for years now, probably since Twisted Metal (PS3) dropped. Plus, the eShop needs more online multi-focused games.
I'll be all over this.
I'm interested but I doubt this will be anywhere near as good as Twisted Metal. If it's online only I'm not gonna bother either. If you can include online, include local.
I never played Twisted Metal, so I have no idea what to think of this game. More specifically, the last game I played that had tanks was TANK! TANK! TANK!, and that was so boring, I just kept tapping A while reading stuff on TV Tropes, and I still won!
If it's something like Blast Corps that would be awesome.
Is Sony doing a new Twisted metal? Only good franchise they have.
I loved Twisted Metal, and with this being an eShop game, this could be a real hit for me. Definitely interested.
I'll keep an eye out, though I'd rather see another game like Vigilante 8 than Twisted Metal. I LOVE Twisted Metal, but Vigilante 8 is my favorite.
Also, its very easy to screw up a vehicular combat game, since I can think of only 2 good franchises for the genre, and they were aforementioned in my previous statement.
Also, 4-5 player local split screen or no buy.
