oratan_566_logo.jpg Oratan has made the leap onto Xbox Live Arcade. Specifically MSBS 5.66, which was the final arcade iteration of the game (and arguably the best). This port will also feature full online versus but there is an elephant in the room in terms of the control input. The original Dreamcast port afforded a twinstick peripheral, allowing you to play the game with the same response time as in the arcade. Bear in mind that these were digital microswitched sticks, and the leverage of the stick itself negated almost any deadzone. This resulted in a game that had ...

... Japanese website for Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram , and with it is information, screens, and the very first trailer for the game.
Bask in the awesomeness of the game in the trailer above, or you can check out the latest screenshots here. The trailer officially says that online battles are in and shows the game in a widescreen state. The only thing that appears to be missing is a split screen mode. A shame, but online battles should be a blast.

voot_360dc_sticks.jpg What with the XBLA release of Virtual On Oratorio Tangram ( M.S.B.S. 5.66 ) looming, some Japanese players have had to do the inevitable; mod Saturn and Dreamcast sticks to work on the 360. This is possible down to the leaked button configs that use the face buttons and d-pad as the stick base (as per the setup seen in Virtual On Marz and the more recent SEGA AGES port ).

News: Oratan 5.66 on XBLA is a bit broken

oratan_why.jpg Virtual On Oratorio Tangram M.S.B.S. 5.66 was released today on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the rumours of a possible problem (bar the pad controls ) have turned out to be true.
