Do you remember Steel Battalion for the Xbox? Well, you certainly do if you owned it, since the controller was $200 and approximately the size of a Chevy Suburban. No, seriously, take a look at it below:

The game put you in a mech -- or, as the game likes to call it, a Vertical Tank. If you couldn't guess, you were inside the cockpit, with many buttons to push and things to shoot at. The controller is somewhat of a collector's item, with  the controller plus the game going for $180 on eBay. Mind you, that's pretty darn close to the retail price when the game was released.

Rumor has it that Capcom is porting the game to the Wii. This won't be a sequel, just an updated port that will make use of all the Wii's unique control abilities, and, possibly, the balance board as well.
