I played this amazing game over the weekend at a new friends apartment. This gentleman has a great video game collection and when he mentioned Virtual On and saw that I had no idea what he was talking about he immediately fired it up.

It's basically a mech game designed like any Gundam game you've played before with ahead of it's time graphics. The version I played was for the Dreamcast. The best part is the "Twin Sticks" which were created for this game. You basically get to pilot these mechs with controllers like your inside them. The reaction time on the controllers are great. I'm so hyped I'm looking into purchasing this game and the controller but the problem is the sticks run about 150 to 200 bucks. I can't see spending that kind of money on a stick to play on one game.

Anyone here have Virtual On? Ever played it. Here's a video of some game play on the Dreamcast.

Apparently it makes a big difference if you use the twin sticks or not.

but the fun wore out. It is quite repetitive. I honestly am not sure why you are so impressed with the graphics, I felt like they were the weakest link in this game. Dreamcast had much nicer graphics on plenty of other games (Shenmue, for starters). Not trying to hate, but I dont see why you would go to such extremes to get this game.

Stay strong

Yeah, you can play on your computer with a Saturn Emulator just fine. My favorite Saturn Game to this day is still Last Bronx.

I also love Jet Grind Radio, however I think for a game like this the mechs look great. They also move great and being that I'm becoming a Gundam fiend ever since I played the Pod Gundam game in Japan this is the next best thing.

I had some fun with it.

you can ONLY play this game with the Twin Sticks (the Saturn model is actually superior to the one released for the DC). I wore it out in the arcade as well; a great game for two players.

Cypher transforming into a fighter jet is one of the coolest in-game moves ever.

I have a Saturn to and the twin sticks for the saturn are a lil cheaper than the DC ones. Hmm I'll look into that.

it's hard to even it play it these days because of how fast the DC version is in comparison.

I'm saying, the sticks they built for the Saturn (http://www.toysnjoys.com/access_dc/saturn_twinstick.jpg) are actually a little better than the ones for DC (http://www.myds.com.au/img/contents/01full.jpg). I think the Saturn sticks are a little more common on eBay, but either version is going to be rare and expensive.

and the Total Control 3 converter (http://www.jandaman.com/Merchant2/images/dc/dctc3.jpg) lets you connect Saturn controllers (including the Twin Sticks) to the DC. this badboy is a must anyway, because I hate the DC pad -- the Saturn analog pad, again, crushes it in design -- and the Japanese Saturn 6-button is the best pad in the history of videogames for fighters.

Honestly, I thought it sucked but it could have been because I only had a DC controller.

It's on 360 as a downloadable tho. I'd imagine the two analog sticks give a better experience than the DC controller did.

The Twin Sticks are a great way to play this game. I tell you from the moment I held them in my hands I was hooked (pause).

On a side note my Action Replay just came in the mail so I can now play my capcom fighters that require that extra Saturn memory. HYPED!
