Anyone had a chance to play one yet? Id love to give it a shot but I have no idea where I would find one- I thought they hadnt made it to the States yet.
Apparently its a light "whip" game. Ive played a similar game, the name is escaping me but you hold a samurai sword handle that had a sensor where the blade would be to pick up your slicing.
It was released in Japan and Europe around '08/09 (Japan release, Euro release). That picture is lacking the original curtains that it came with (which originally came from this source where that location removed curtains on Silent Hill as well). I have heard that one or two made it over to the US but not sure where they might be now. It pretty much shared the same fate as Silent Hill Arcade - way too overpriced (and in CVs case, too large) to make it anywhere on the market.
Before pretty much closing up on Europe in 2011, Konami also brought GTI Club back to arcades and in Japan they did a Wii Sports clone with MoCap Sports. I thought that might make it overseas but it never did since Konami has pulled back all arcade development and releases to the East.
