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.
A horrorfilm pair, eerily pat-a-caking in synchrony at the gaping lit-up lips of the maimai machines.
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.”
Imagine this: a 3rd-person arena-based team battle that you can play online with headset comms in an arcade.
Sega’s maimai has dominated the music game corners of Tokyo arcades since 2012.
