I know a few people on here have been following this game so here is some info about the Japan only Collector's Edition

Good Lord! No one on here is allowed to show that to my husband...we'll be out the $400 AND the import costs...

Don’t really want all the junk just want Capcom to make a good game.  I hope they don’t over utilize the Kinect sensor for controlling.  I’m turning 37 and I don’t want to have to wave my arms move my feet jumping all over the place like a moron.  I hope they have normal game pad controls and use the Kinect for all added controls.

@killerchameleon I hope so too. They will, hopefully, include a normal control scheme.

I wish that they were just re-releasing the original controller upgraded for the 360.

Me too. I'd kill to hook that thing up to MechWarrior 4/MechWarrior Online.

You know what I made a USB adaptor for the Steel Battalion controller to play MechWarrior on the PC, since the 360 uses USB I wonder if it will also work on the 360.  I ‘m going to have to dig that sucker out a try it.

[kirbysuperstar]

I'd be surprised if it did - MS locked down the USB stack pretty hard.

I thought about it again and realized that I would need separate software to map the buttons, can’t do that on a console. :'(
