Toribash beheading to WiiWare

By Robert Purchese Published 28 January, 2009

Indie ragdoll limb-severing champion.

Nabi Studios has said there will be a WiiWare version of Toribash at an undisclosed point in the future.

That's according to the game's blog, which has some early development shots of the project up and running.

Toribash found indie fame as a free download for PC and Mac. The idea is simple: punch and kick and mutilate your opponent, sending limbs flying and blood splurging. But it's the 'how' that makes Toribash exciting.

Each player controls a ragdoll character and swings limbs and body-parts, step by step, in the hope of inflicting major damage and notching up high scores. Toribash is bewilderingly hard to master.

Head over to the official Toribash website to download the free game. You might find members of our tech team to punish.

    I bloody love Toribash! XBLA please! Though you probably would be better off with a mouse/pointer device for that game.

    Sounds a lot like that ragdoll puppet game on Steam, can't remember the name, but with added gore... intriguing!

    I'd rather have a compilation of Truck Dismount and Stair Dismount. I wasted many hours of gleeful sadism on those.

  • skillian #4 3 years ago

    Yes, Stair Dismount rules!

    Rag Doll Kung Fu, sounded brilliant, and I loved the idea behind it, but ultimately I never found it any fun.

    Perhaps this is better, and seeing as it's free, I guess I should find out.

    I can't imagine controlling toribash on the wii; it can be fiddley enough at times trying to move / access joints in the higher res pc version!

    My experience of playing Toribash? Seems exciting, imagine kicking opponent in balls, try to do it, character falls over in a heap on the floor when lifting up his leg. I retire crushed and play peggle instead.
