    Default Virtual ON is Live!

    Oh my! Virtual ON: Oratario Tangram is coming to XBLA. It's the 5.66 Naomi version too, the DC release was 5.45.

    Let the Twin Stick hacking commence.

    Woooo awesome. What's the difference on those versions mentioned? I only had the Saturn and DC one.

    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.

    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.
