        Hardware samples finally arrived at Taito hq, look amazing.


        The screen seems curved too looks like they are using some form of overlay lens to give the illusion of a crt.

          Looks nice, but anyone else find the near-vertical angle of the monitor a bit odd?

            Yeah it is more upright than it should be, gonna guess it was so it didn't take up a larger footprint.

                Been looking at this on Amazon and there are slight price differences in the same sets, why is that as translate sites didn't pick it up, I currently have this with an extra controller and arcade stick in my cart lol

                  the price difference might be because of bundled amazon preorder bonuses.

                    Some more pics showing the size comparisons


                    Seems that you can play all games in either yoko or tate mode regardless of wether you feel like rotating the monitor or not if that happens to be your thing, can't imagine why you wouldn't rotate it though when they made it so easy.


                    The 4/8 way controller option is apparently accessed by turning a dial underneath the machine, also note that recessed hole that has a slide locking function, there has been no base even mentioned so far so why does the bottom of the unit have those locking tabs? wonder if there's a base kit planned like the astro mini had.


                    And another random pic because why no it looks wonderful.

                      Took me longer than I'd like to admit before I realised that that last screenshot had a cable in it, and that I didn't have a smear or scratch on my screen.

                                This still isn't UK bound is it?
                                It's still about half-a-grand if you want to import?

                                Argh!
