Just saw this this this morning.  Some Castelvania light gun rail whip game thing at a Los Angeles arcade:

Looks cool, but it'd be nice if attacks actually showed a whip on the screen rather than blue-looking laser things.

Is this old news?  I never heard about this.

It popped up in Japan about two months ago or so (as a location test, I think, like in the video). I'm really surprised to see a unit in the US. Probably be years before we get to hear what the music is like.

You might also like to pine over this:

See those epic Castlevania III cutscenes?

It's a slot machine.

Didn't IGA specifically say he didn't want to make a game like this for the Wii because your arm would get too tried playing it?  Not that it matters since this doesn't look very entertaining anyway...

Niiiice, yeah a lot of Pachislots have awesome video, they'd sure lure me to sit down and play a while more than just plain slots or plain pachinko.

I've got a Jet Set Radio one and I love it. Well, I love having it. Playing it just feels fairly pointless. The game decides when you're going to win or lose. There's not even the illusion of skill to cling to.
