Big-in-Japan anime/manga Initial D gets another arcade game. With real cars! Earlier this month, the new Initial D game set up shop at the SEGA Joypolis in Odaiba. Instead of a standard cabinet, the game features the bodies of actual cars: Subaru Impreza WRX, Toyota GT-APEX and Mazada RX-7 (minus their engines). A ninety-inch monitor is set up in front of the car. For ?600 (US $5), players can battle it out in one of three in-game courses. Rad, street driving the actual Initial D cars. **** hot stuff like this lets me forgive SEGA for, I dunno, the last seven years.

QFE!

But it needs a dashboard that can add and remove buttons randomly depending on what's happening in the game. :P

I read somewhere that they use oleds, which apparently have a very limited life.

I do agree however that is the coolest keyboard ever. *drools*
