It turns out that Taito have gone for the more traditional peripheral route for their upcoming bullet train simulation epic on the Wii.
Being a moderate connoisseur of console peripherals, that does look awfully similar to the PlayStation 2 controller for Densha de Go! Shinkansen: Sanyō Shinkansen Hen though.
The game will be released february of next year for the princely sum of 6090 yen. For those that live near or in Osaka, you can fondly caress this controller at the Games Japan Festa opening in the next few days.
