I didn't realize a whole debate was gonna kick off over it. I just wanted to steer the topic away from the whole ero angle.

HRtP came out while I was still in middle school. It's pretty cray-cray. And it was all originally for a programming class project, too. Here's to another two decades of touhou... or maybe one... or a half.

It is pretty nuts. I mean a whole generation has passed in the intervening time. That's what I find assuring about his repeated pronouncements that he'd keep right on going even if the fandom was reduced to nothing. It's a personal passion for him, and it shows.

Sorry about that, it was a legitimate question...

Not that it really matters which controls/device is superiour to play shmups, though there seems to be a major difference and opinion.
In the last interview I did notice ZUN using a gamepad at home when testing his latest Touhou production. That was the first time I've witnessed it and it really confused me.
I "grew up" to use the keyboard for Touhou, mainly because I am not a shmup player. Arcades are non-existent in my country (lately) and I don't really have the urge to play one either. During my trip in Japan I played an old famicom or w/e it was in a Hostel. The game was called "Twin Bees" and you guess what: A gamepad was your control. Do-able I guess for such games? No idea.
Regarding joysticks > I can see their potential benefits for shmups, flight simulators, gundam simulators and such. Therefore the story of Halfgrand is recognizable. Though for me they also have their downside which is personal discomfort. For example a fighting game like Dead or Alive 5 I can manage decent on a PS gamepad. But when I was in the arcade I had to use a stick. I couldn't even perform 1 combo and got my ass kicked brutally for no reason. Well, there is a reason: "Not being used to joysticks".
One sets his mouse sensitivity in FPS to +100 and kicks ass. Another one sets it to -100 and kicks ass.
TL DR: Personal comfort > theories.

That said, did anybody see the part of the stream where ZUN uses a fucking shoulder cannon confetti launcher? Bad ass imo!
