In times gone by, when Sega made consoles, it felt like there was a clear path from arcade to home release. Back then, Gunslinger Stratos would have been ported to Saturn or Dreamcast and come with dedicated controllers.
Looks like the modern Space Harrier. Fit for an old-school one-coin-stand. But the JP arcades don’t go for that these days.
Gunslinger Stratos: I always describe its awesome control scheme (twin light pistols with dual analogue thumbsticks) and crazy gameplay (8P team deathmatch around Tokyo), then I add a full stop. “And you can fly.”
Check out this monstrous dong of a joystick on Starwing Paradox. Rippling with nooks and nobbles for your fingers and thumbs.
Imagine this: a 3rd-person arena-based team battle that you can play online with headset comms in an arcade.
