Onimusha katana controller coming to the US

I was a Fry's Electronics and saw 2 of these selling for $150. It comes in a solid black box, with the work Katana on the front. In small print at the bottome is says: Compatible with Onimusha 3.

Too steep for my pockets! :blank:

Yeah, the Fry's over here had used to have a whole pallet of them about 6 ft high. I stopped by a couple weeks ago and they were all gone.

Hope I didn't miss out on some crazy clearance price...

We still have one at my store. I doubt it's any cheaper, but I'll check. I might get it for less than $50.

They have this at my Arcade, and you just swing the sword (handle) back and forth to win.

I only played it once in NYC... but if I remember correctly, it was the same concept as Time Crisis.

Yes, Konami also made one. It's called Tsurugi. http://www.coinopexpress.com/product...gi%29_606.html

Anyone played both? I remembered playing Tsurugi a couple times. Mazan seems like it might be much cooler! Either way, they need to bring both home somehow!
