Good news for hardcore Virtual On players players. Sega has confirmed that an official Twin Sticks peripheral is on the way for the Xbox 360! Hori will deliver the device to Japan this November. The price? ¥30,000 yen, or about $300 US.
D+PAD Writes:
For a student constantly on the lookout for cheap games to play and not really wanting to buy full-priced new releases, second-hand shops and Xbox Live Arcade seemed the perfect solution. Some purchases were really not worth playing, but there were some real gems that turned up from time to time – some of which were clearly at their best when played multiplayer, but had nobody online because perhaps they had not been critical successes, or had been out so long everyone had lost interest. So it’s time to fight the fight for these obscure games – and if people can get them and play them, it can only be a good thing!
The Lost Gamer writes "Xbox 360 owners can get their hands on Sega's HD remake of the classic Virtual-On, full title Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, for just 800 Microsoft Points as the Xbox Live Deal of the Week for Gold Members."

um wow O.O
so is this game alright to play without the sticks?
Awesome.
Yikes, you could buy a whole new console for that price. Heck, I felt bad enough buying a Hori stick for my 360 for $130.
great news for the 6 people who will buy this crap lol...dam this games isnt that good....*looks at price*
Warning: If you buy these twin sticks you might as well turn in your p%ssy card for life! hopefully you won't be a virgin for life and actually were able to hire a prostitute before you bought these twin sticks...after you buy these twin sticks it's all over...you won't even be even able to pay for it.
"I Paid $300 for a gaming peripheral for an arcade game from the 1990's" will probably be forever tattooed on your fat a$$
