Taito’s latest cabinet for the continuing saga of blasting the life robotic aquatic reminds me why it’s miserable living in a place where you’ve got better odds of being struck by lightening than finding an arcade.
Darius Burst Another Chronicle goes uber-wide for four players later this year in Japan according to the official site.

That looks awesome! That’s almost unheard of insane though… wouldn’t that display panel be like… custom built? Crazy.
I wonder how a port to home consoles would look… maybe they’d let you hook 2 Xbox 360s together with 2 widescreen TVs and rock out that way? Ala Forza! Still not as cool as that awesome custom display with a bench and 4 really nice joystick panels!

That’s a great setup for an arcade machine. Someday I’ll save enough to make a trip to Japan…

If I can save enough money… I’ll import that arcade machine… and re-assemble it in my apartment… sure I’ll have to get rid of my bed so that I have room for it… but I can sleep on that bench!

But the sleeping would be a bit akward, what with all the flying ships and bullets…
