Japanese arcade fans should get ready to pull out their lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, because this Taito touchscreen arcade game looks pretty awesome. The Engrish Google translation leaves us wondering at how exactly the game works, but from what we can gather, you put real cards onto the virtual board, which makes stuff happen on the video screen up top, which then determines whether you win or lose the battle. We're going to guess lose, since that's the only way the game will force you to plunk down another 500 Yen for four new cards. [Impress]

It's not clear what game(s) will make use of this contraption, but our eagle-eyed brothers at Kotaku have spotted Taito's upcoming Wii controller for train sims. We can't imagine a train sim being all that exciting (unless it lets you operate a NYC subway), but looks-wise that is one cool controller. – Louis Ramirez
