Kinect-powered mech ’em up Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is lined up to stomp onto Xbox 360 on June 19. Publisher Capcom celebrated today’s announcement with a set of new screenshots and two new trailers for Armored Core creator From Software’s robofest.

Heavy Armor will use both a controller and Kinect, with gestures used for everything from starting the engine to high-fiving after a successful mission.
