Thanks for the link!
Saw a build a week or two ago, it's looking nice!

I liked VOOT, despite not being very good at it, so I may pick this one up if the price is right. It'll be nice to use a competent controller to play it.

Sega have confirmed the game will be coming to the US during the Spring. Nice and specific there, then. Hopefully a European release date will be announced soon.
Check the link for some screen shots.

That is fantastic! I wonder how it'll control with the default 360 controllers.

Yes! I freakin loved that game in the arcades. I played it on Dreamcast, too.

Virtual On the same week as Banjo-Tooie?
that right there is the best week of xbla ever!
I still have my Dreamcast copy(domestic and Japanese) as well as Twin Sticks, if there was a way to connect them to 360...

I bought a Saturn copy for $5. I want to like it, but it's borderline unplayable with the standard controller, and the cheapest I can find a twin stick controller online is $70. At that cost I'd be better off selling the game.

I used to play the Saturn version with a regular controller and found it played just fine. I never used the twin sticks so I probably just didn't know any better.

Finally, there's an official Twin Stick controller for the Xbox 360.

Unfortunately, it's ugly as sin and it's going to cost ¥30000!!! That's £188 or $307, plus shipping from Japan.

I have this game for the DC, but have never played it. I guess it's well liked, huh.
