probably something along the lines of "let's make something so overwhelmingly based that people continue to talk about it almost 20 years later"

I payed 500 euros for it (guy said it was untested, it seems he actually was, it worked all of it) but it's the ultimate mech simulator. So yes

That's a bummer. Can't imagine what would work better than
https://github.com/caosdoar/SteelBattalionDriver

Needs more power, perhaps? I already have a couple sticks and a throttle, and this thing is mad stupid expensive in today's retro tard shelf and covid market, but somehow it would be nice to know this goddamn anchor of a controller can be used more practically.

I assume they had a lot of spare arcade parts laying around and since arcades had died out everywhere in the world but Japan, they thought why not release it at a premium price for the mech enthusiast.

never found it in the stores when new, but I did find a copy for 300$ in box with everything about 7/8 years ago at an indoor antique store. Was there until the store closed, always wanted it but guy from what I recall wouldnt go any lower when I inquired if he would do 250$. At the time, online prices were not much different, so I never grabbed it, thinking id find it from my local game store I frequented. Feels bad, wish i had gotten it now, but at least it is not yet to stupidly priced considering its not just a game you are paying for.

I am not the feg from the other bread. I just didn't like it. Not an issue of balance. I felt like I was shooting ants. I was hoping for a more immersive game play, considering the peripheral is awesome. I was hoping for Hawken style game play.

It looks clunky, slow, and not smooth. Sad. I want this game to be better. I wish Capcom would release something new, that would work with the OG peripheral.

Was fun though.
