Taito's Bringing Left 4 Dead to Arcades in Japan

Thats.... unusual...

Somebody's been using google translate for localization.

This is... what?

Looking forward to the inevitable L4D OVA though.

does this mean that taito is going to develop Counter Strike NEO 2

So is it an on-rails shooter? How does this play? What does the cabinet look like?

ZOMBIE and ZOMBIE and ZOMBIE S

Run AND Shot?

painful to watch

ZOMBIEand

ZOMBIEand

ZOMBIEs...

Those hot new zombie games. Like Left 4 Dead.

That one girls voice... why.

RUN AND SHOT. ZOMBIE and ZOMBIE and ZOMBIES...

RUN AND SHOT

I don't think it's on rails, but that's all I can figure out. Is it light gun style shooting? How many players? I only saw two, but that's not much of a left *4* dead.

Is it me, or are they using a different cast of characters?

Fuck "RUNandSHOT" I got the most laughs out of "SURVIVE OR DIE"

No shit!

let me tell you about my buddy Keith-san.

Ok...yeah...sure, why not? Good for them, I guess? I mean...sounds like Sawashiro Miyuki is in here so that alone makes it at least 17 times better than the original, right?

Japan girls are play L4D2. Let's have enjoy their shotting.

Sorry, like how exactly? In Japanese?

Man, at first glance I thought it said the new Left 4 Dead would take place in a city called Arcades, Japan.

COOPERATION IN 4!

I seriously thought for a moment they'd use P.O.D.'s "Boom" when the song started.

PILLS HERE!

Sure. Excellent. I love it.

English is a stupid language!

@everettescott: Because... Japan.

Ah, sure, why the hell not?

I'm surprised to hear the name Taito in 2014 though.

Oh my god.

Is this anime? I think I like anime, then.

Sure yeah alright.

Oh, and who's that guy in the plaid shirt in the trailer? Did they make characters just for this game?

Well, they don't want to confuse people with the also important 'Ride or Die', 'Skate or Die', or 'Fly or Die.' Haha.

Kusoge.

Boomer-chan kawaii des.

I have one reaction to this video: xD!

I don't know, man. Jockey-senpai is pretty sugoi.

How does one say "GRABBIN' PILLS!!" in Japanese?

Can I download the voice pack?

@shtinky:

Yup. From Joystiq:

Yup. From Joystiq:

Of course there's a school girl!

The attempts to make it seem like a typical survival horror game are hilarious.

Well this is weird.

well that will cure my loneliness.

I can only run or shot. Run and shot is far too complicated for me. I hate ZOMBIEs.

I LOVE JAPAN

I heard that L4D was pretty popular in Japan. Kinda weird to make an arcade version after Valve literally gave away a copy of L4D2 during their Christmas sale. Maybe this is for those who don't have a way to play at home?

Could you not tell that just from the trailer voices? At least they're not making Zoe sound like a 10 year old. (although an alternate voice pack DLC might be kinda funny, who knows).

The trailer clearly says "Run and Shot."

There MUST be a quick look for this, I don't care what measures need to be taken.

Man, I REALLY miss Japan! :( Arcades are super-awesome there! You young'uns don't know what you missed....
