Virtual-On Actually On XBLA Next Week

Serious waste of time and at 1200 ms points way too expensive.

Another 1200 points release? OK, I don't think we can change this anymore. Still looks like crazy fun from that old video I saw.

man 1200 bullshit i wish everything was 800 points and DLC was all 400 points sniff

1200 fail

I've got plenty of love for crazy stylized gladiatorial robots, but by the time I actually played a Virtual-On game, dual joysticks were a standard rather than a novelty, let alone polygonal graphics.

I'll skip this.

HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!VOOT!!!!!!!!!!

1200 MS points is too much for a novelty game such as this.

If we all stop buying things will everyone quit being greedy and lower the prices to 800 again? They did hear about the "economic downturn" and all that, right? I don't have fifteen dollars to burn on games of this nature.

VOOT was great, but I imported it for Dreamcast years ago.  I just wish Sega would put more effort into their ports.  I'd love to get a new VO, but other than online play (which is a big deal) it doesn't seem like there are many new features in this one.

I think complaining about $15 for the sake of being $15 is always dumb.  Complain that the game isn't enough value, not the price.  If the value isn't important to you, then you're just being dumb.

Banjo-Tooie is scheduled for the 29th as well.

2 games next week then?

Damn, and I wanted to create a Dual-Lever Piloting page.  Sez so right there on the cabinet.

If they can make a home version of twin-sticks, I will hold out some hope that someone will give us a PS3 compatible wheel with infinite spin so I can
play some Championship Sprint and "Iron Man" Stewart Super Off-Road the way it was meant to be.

Screw this game, I'm getting Banjo Tooie next week.

About time! Finally I can play Virtual on in the comfort of my own home. If only they were selling the entire arcade cabinet for 15 bucks

I'm down for this. I wanted to get this on PS2 but it was only released in Japan I guess.

"Banjo-Tooie is scheduled for the 29th as well.2 games next week then?"

This was one of the only games at my local arcade that I really got into.

WTF @ the price. So I guess every XBLA game is now $15, GTFO with that crap.

Damn, 1,200 points? I love Virtual-On but...I'm not to sure about this now.

You know what else comes out on the 29th on XBLA? Banjo-Tooie. I think I'll be spending my 1200 points on that instead.

Hells yeah virtual-on. Fun game man.

I only played it as a Dreamcast game so, for lack of dual joysticks, I don't know this game as a dual joystick shooter.  Actually I don't know it as a shooter period because it is a fighting game with guns, you wouldn't call Small Arms a shooter just because it has guns.

hell yeah! Well, except for the 1200 ms points part....

I had the demo for that for the Saturn I believe.

The Saturn had Virtual On Cyber Troopers. I thought that's what the XBLA game is, but everyone keeps calling it Oratorio Tangram, which had a Dreamcast version. I thought OT looked a lot better than this but I guess that's nostalgia memory...

And yeah, that was a great demo, you could choose all of the mechs and play VS against the AI or split screen ^_^

OMG I remember going all the way to southend-on-sea and thinking the best thing there was that arcade machine (and they had punchmanina.) But 1200 is a bit much

I already have the Dreamcast game. I would love that dual Dreamcast Joystick shown above.

@Linkyshinks

pass

The 800 MSP threshold, learn it. its a pass for me as well.

Virtual On is sex

why do guys say the points when telling how much it costs, why not just tell us how much that really means?

no

It is a waste of time.

No sticks means a waste of time.  Luckily, I have mine for the dreamcast.

a dreamcast classic,I know what ill be buyin

Best news ever ! 1200 is a bit steep, but I dream about this game sometimes. Totally bought.
