Re: Important question

Wow red! Like what you've done with the place MM! I was able to migrate my American gamertag to a PAL-region console I got here in Europe and it worked just fine…until I got hit with the RROD. Again. I took it as a sign the universe wanted me to concentrate on med school… But to answer the question ...

Hori Twin Stick EX "Special Edition"

For those interested in a closer look at the Hori Twin Stick internals If you have access to Nico Nico Douga video: The Japanese guy who made the briefcase twin stick decided the multi-coloured buttons had to go and made them all white. I think he confirms that the levers are indeed modified Sanwa J...

Hori Twin Stick specs

Hori has released the specs on it's website of the shipped Twin Sticks set to arrive in Japanese households tomorrow.

30,000 yen gets you the controller weighing in at approximately 4.4kg (9.7 lbs). And a cleaning cloth.

Re: virtual on PC fix on newer OS? online play?

I was able to get OMG to work on XP and Vista by emulating a copy of Windows 98 using Virtual PC 2007 (free download from Microsoft). As for online play, never tried it myself but halfway down this Japanese thread somebody posts in english and links to some vpn software called Hamachi to enable netp...

Re: I give...

Any word on when the Hori controller is shipping? According to this blogger, Hori should be shipping out the twin sticks late Novermber with an expected arrival date of Nov. 29. So I'm guessing expect them early December from the importers. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/10/29/virtual_on_twi...

Looks like the first revision prototype was delivered to the Sega team for functionality impressions with the "rampy" second revision to be delivered for testing at a later date.

Re: Official Site Update 7/10 - Survey results

Based on the feedback, they've seen four definite trends of desirability: 1. Player vs Player format (including multi vs multi) 2. High speed action 3. Feature interface (Twin Sticks) 4. Hajime Katoki's mecha designs and they promised to take into account these "four pillars" when thinking...

ORATAN is the overwhelming favorite. No surprises there. Hope this sends a clear message to the developers if/when they start a future Virtual On project.

Re: Updated Hori Twin Stick design, regular orders offered

Well for those who are seriously considering this after the redesign, NCS has opened up pre-orders again for the Hori Twinstick EX (presumably till July 30) here . I absolutely agree that 30,000 yen is just painfully high for most people who are looking at a controller made specifically for only one...

Of interesting note - the blogger apologized that they couldn't enter a foreign pilot into the tournament due to the Japanese language barrier. That would be me. Maybe next time I will have a chance to get destroyed! Ah so you were the mysterious "California" pilot the blogger was talking...

Re: Japanese XBLA VOOT tournament to be broadcast on ustream

Well about 120 participants and 2 1/2 hours later, WildEsoteric's Fei-Yen beat shiningstone's Apharmd Striker to win the tournament. There was also a pretty even and exciting Fei-Yen vs Fen-Yen semi-final match between WildEsoteric and mito310. The replays are on the Leaderboards as of this writing....
