I'm going to hell for this for sure...

GameSpy reports that Atari has announced a fighting game based on Magic: The Gathering called Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds for Xbox and PC.


Available this fall, Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds "offers faithful translations of classic creatures, spells and enchantments from the premier trading card game in a visually stunning 3D game environment. The game will offer Magic themed battles using a variety of tactics that center around magical cards."


Does anybody dispute the fact that they're gonna actually make it?

I'll sure buy it!

I'd dispute it... but I guarantee it'll come with some online, or retail certificate to get the person hooked on the card version itself...

"But mom!... I want the digital pics, real cards, and the XBox game!!!..."

If Battlegrounds contains some Mirrodin stuff, that'd be pretty cool.

A fighting game?

//Flashy effects

ROLLINGU THUNDA!

20 Hit combo!

//SF2 grunt

K.O.

Kamahl Wins.

Actually, that'd be pretty funny.

I'd feel better to just have MTG: Armaggedon instead of the stolen one that we have in the lobby here... I mean, nothing whatsoever

 

[train]

I'd hate to see what a Mirari would do in that game...

Or maybe it'll be just like Street Fighter II Turbo Championship edition!!!

 

[Nightstalkers]

HA HA! and the secret characters would be... The old MTG characters! Gerrard, Squee, Urza, and Tsabo!!!

Muwahahaha! What a bunch of crap that would make!

*Fantasizing*

Stupid egg blender attack!

Urza wins!

New secret character unlocked: Squee

...

I feel so sorry for you.

*End fantasy*

That's what it sounds to me, that this is going to be a fighter game ala Street Fighter or Marvel vs. Capcom or something...

 

[Nightstalkers]

Or it will be like battlemage...

Ew! did I just say the B word?
