Drake:
totally on purpose
Tengukami:
Next year, he's making them use arcade sticks.
Spotty Len:
Shmups controls are good with arcade sticks.
Tengukami:
I'll have to take your word for it. I imagine it would be a lot of fun, but I can't see myself playing better using an arcade stick instead of keys.
Spotty Len:
It's really a matter of comfort, instead of using your fingers to move, you use your wrist. Reaction time is the same since movement is natural, and buttons are even more sensible than on a keyboard. Directions are also way more precise than people think.
I don't think people would be that much troubled by it, considering most CAVE and Psikyo shmups in Japan are still played on arcade cabinets. Heck, even over here we still use our arcade cabinet to play shmups, it's so comfy.
