Konami Boob Shooter Stick Lets Players Touch
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 8:00 PM on June 30, 2008
Konami arcade shooter Otomedius features a touch screen and traditional joystick/buton interface. How the heck is that going to work on the Xbox 360 version? Well! Konami has teamed up with Japanese peripheral maker Hori to offer a solution: The Hyper Stick Pro - Otomedius Gorgeous Version. The specific stick features a touch pad, making it possible to recreate the arcade Otomedius experience at home. Bundle with Otomedius Gorgeous and character badges, the Hyper Stick Pro - Otomedius Gorgeous Version will go on sale September 25th for around ¥27,000 ($AU 265.05). So subtract the $AU 62.36 or the $AU 72.76 that the game will retail and remember touching doesn't come cheap!
Check out the gorgeous Otomedius Gorgeous trailer here.

I played this game the other day , it took forever for me to figure out you have to touch the screen to start the game , haha. Good game plenty of fan service, reminds me of rainbow cotton, but the power up options are much like lifeforce or graduis.

"Boob shooter"? That makes it sound like a game about shooting boobs, which is extremely F****d up.

Controller seems a little expensive for one game.

They should have called the Hyper Stick Pro the Otomedius Gorgeous Touchious.

I just saw touch and boob and clicked the thread.
I love hori, they make some damned good products.

Tits or GTFO.
Seriously, no pictures of boobs in a post about a game that has boobs? Am I even on the internet right now?

I'm kind of jealous for the fact that they're still getting a good shump... but not for the expensive controller. However the collector geek in me wants it.

@thisisasignin: Only in the twisted Kotakuverse would that be less screwed up...

It's probably so expensive because they're only making a VERY small quantity for Japanese 360 owners.
I'm sure it will be hard to fine there at launch, let alone later. I have the DOA4 arcade stick, and I haven't seen it, the VF5 arcade stick, or the Ace Combat 6 bundle anywhere. I guess I wanted too long to get another arcade stick, and when I was going to get the flight stick, it was gone.

that's more expensive than steel battalion and i don't feel that it compares in the least. how could anyone be willing to pay full price for that? it doesn't even sport a 6-button layout to make it useful for fighters.

I'd order one if it wasn't so damn expensive.

Can anyone explain how the touch function works in the arcade version?

@Logician: yeah basically you select menus by touching the screen , that is all i could do with touching it , there might be a scene where it does more but i never got that far in it.
