Wasnt that mainly because there was only like one other arcade stick for the Wii? Obviously normal arcade sticks are useful in more games than the twin sticks.MasterFygar wrote:Well, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom had a specially made arcade stick to emulate the arcade experience, and half of that game consisted of characters from shows that never even got an American release, so if this does come to America, our twinstick-in-Best-Buys potential will be pretty good.

Being such a niche title, I have my doubts about there being a US release. Although VOOM, VOOT, and Marz all made it here, so who knows. I think it's even less likely that it'd be region-free, if shmups are any indication of how that usually goes for niche Japanese arcade titles.MentholMoose wrote:Same here.

My plan was to come home from work today and post exactly this, but Schooly stole the words right out of my mouth. I watched some Youtube videos of Force in action, and to be honest, it looks worse than VOOT in every way, except of course for the 4-player combat, which I think will be more of a diversion than a meat-and-potatoes experience. I have to question the staying power this game will have, and although it may draw in some new people to the Virtual-On world with its accessible (yet shallow) combat system, it probably won't be very popular for long. And then you have the fact that some people will inevitably switch from VOOT to Force, even though VOOT is the better game. And moreover, every day Sega works on Force is one day less they have to work on a proper sequel. It's not that the game looks bad, it's just that it doesn't look anywhere near as good as VOOT.Schooly D wrote:Guess I'm kind of sad about this. From everything I've seen, FORCE doesn't play well at all. And I think it's very telling that still WAY more people prefer VOOT despite FORCE being, on paper, such an attractive option. I mean, who wouldn't want 2 v 2 Virtual-On?
What I see happening is FORCE drawing some people away from VOOT, which makes me sad if FORCE isn't a good game.
If only ANY Virtual On game can sell in the west as good as TvC. Capcom fighters have a huge fanbase. We're tiny in comparison. If you want the 360 twinsticks, you'll probably have to import.MasterFygar wrote:Well, Tatsunoko Vs.

I doubt Virtual On ever did nearly as well in the U.S. as it did in Japan, yet SEGA has always proven to be awesome and brought Virtual On to the west regardless.DeepInTheHops wrote:I know VOOT sold well in Japan, but what about the US? Does anybody know? The decision will probably largely depend on that.
Oh you can see that clip on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPuOMCsQAGgLong Shadow wrote:There's an ad for VO4 on the Japanese Xbox site.
It has some workers cleaning Temjin's foot, and maybe 1-2 seconds of game footage.
A few click in and you should come across it.

Same here. I'm going to buy it, but mostly out of curiosity, and also to throw some more money at Sega for keeping the franchise alive. If I didn't already have a Japanese 360, things would be different (although I would have eagerly bought one for VOOT ).PhantomPhotonX wrote:Ironically though, they could charge $60 and I would still probably buy it, but it's more because of curiosity and being a Virtual-On fan than because I have high hopes for the game.
On second thought, considering I have no US games, I could sell my current 360 and replace it with a Japanese 360. The loss wouldn't be too much, and there might be some other Japanese game that interest me. However, honestly I'm not interested in Force at all. The good Japanese VOOT players completely dominate the best US players, just imagine how bad it will be in Force considering nobody in the US has played Force extensively.MentholMoose wrote:Same here.

Indeed, it looks awful. I can't imagine they will ship it like this. Do you really think there's a chance it will retail at $60?shamanic_beat wrote:......
If they are charging 60 bucks for it they need to do a better job in the light and shadow department...
I dont' know much about Jp games but, honestly there really aren't any fun games anymore. Hence why I'm making a game.MentholMoose wrote:On second thought, considering I have no US games, I could sell my current 360 and replace it with a Japanese 360.
