Ok I have updated the OP.Feel free to talk about the game.

I wonder if this spoils HVS Gladiator A.D./ Legends of the Colloseum or whatever it's called now.

Now that I think about it  there are lots of similarities to this game and Tournament of Legends. Who knows maybe it will be a situation like Mario kart Wii and Sonic & Sega All Stars where there is room for both games in gamers library.

but neither of those games were scheduled to come out at the same time.
MKWii came out years ago and S&SAR just came out.

Both of these are gladiator sports using creatures and M+ on the Wii.
The main difference is this game is only $10-$15 vs ToL being a $50 retail game.

Were Water Warfare and/or Onslaught replacements for The Conduit and/or Modern Warfare Reflex?
Was VC Mario Kart 64 a replacement for Mario Kart Wii?
Was Super Punch-Out a replacement for Punch-Out Wii?
Is Cave Story going to be a replacement for Other M?

Yeah I know that the 2 games I mentiond came out far apart from each other BlackNMild. I was just saying that there is room for similar games in peoples library.
Also I would imagine that not everybody is going to get both at launch. So people can go grab the other when it suits them.

completely different games. also not coming out at/near the same time using the exact same theme and the same control.

They are like the exact same game only one is cheap and the other everyone is already skeptical about.

If Sega had announced their kart racer 6 months ago to be released 4 months from now and then Nintendo had announced Mario Kart yesterday to be released next month, I think that would render Sega Kart DOA.

I know that MK is a big title, but that doesn't change the point that these games are so similar in theme(and probably play style) that if one catches on, then the other could suffer badly. It almost looks like HVS screwed themselves by showing their game so long ago, then some other company decided to do something similar only using monsters and creatures, but then HVS changed their game to be less generic(using monsters and creatures), and now the two games(at a glance) are nearly the same.
