I want this game now, with or without twin sticks. Since I never played the original I can't really say anything about the controller issues… we'll see what happens.

The original arcade VO already got an extremely nice PS2 port. But did this mean that a PS2 pair of Twin Sticks was developed? No.

Also, this Xbox version already has so many mechanical advantages over the Dreamcast one due to being based on the newer version. So at least leave the Dreamcast people their control superiority. I mean, isn't it the nature of ports that they all have their advantages and disadvantages over each other? If they wanted to make a perfect version of Virtual On OT, it would by the game's very nature HAVE to be a new arcade cabinet.

I would easily pay 100$ for well made set of twin sticks, the game just wouldn't be the same without them.

How about they make a Saturn and Dreamcast Controller Adapter for 360, so we can use the twin stick controllers we already have? It would also work great for using the saturn pads for fighting games, instead of paying $40 to Mad Catz for their ugly rip offs of the 2nd gen sega saturn gamepads.

I would pay $20 for such an adapter.

I wouldn't bother. I played VOOT with a Dreamcast controller for years and never had any problems with the controls.

I don't know how you can really argue precision in the sticks when the game keeps you locked on to your enemy anyway.

I'd buy them at just about any price.

And if they released the original arcade VO as well? That would kick all sorts of ass, being able to play the games as they are meant to be played on a SINGLE system instead of needing a Saturn and a Dreamcast with 2 sets of Twin Sticks.

I am waiting for that game, but I would have prefer it with better graphics, like more polygons on models and cell-shading. I love the virtuaroids' design and I would love to see them with better graphics.
But this game will rock my Xbox anyway !

I would pay up to $150 for a high quality Twin Stick set up, in fact I would even consider buying two (especially if they cost less then $150)!

From what I hear from VO fans, the VO twin sticks are quite a bit more precise than modern gamepad thumbsticks. This means less room for error when executing moves. It's kind of like the difference between playing a fighting game on the Xbox controller and playing it with a proper Hori arcade stick, only (apparently) more so.

Besides “authenticity”, i don't understand why anyone would care to play on twinsticks since all the original controls could be mapped to the xbox dual analog sticks 4 shoulder buttons. The same couldnt be done on the Saturn/DC pads.

This isnt like buying the Steel Batallion controller.

Virtual On was great for its time, but its success was almost entirely because of its precise and purpose-built controls. Or at least this is true of the arcade. It should be very interesting to see how it does on the 460.
