In case some of you may have forgotten the SEGA Transformers Human Alliance game, fear not! The Tokyo Joypolis arcade has unveiled its new, updated 'Special' version of it, featuring a system apparently based on the Sega R360, allowing players to move 360°, and also 2 player games. More information and images, other than below, can be found on Arcade Heroes here - and check out the embedded video, too!

Through Sega’s history, they have launched a variety of games as Medium scale attractions – not necessarily something that would fill up a huge space in an amusement park like a ride but not small enough that would allow for a typical mom & pop arcade to have it either. Some of those have carried the “Special” moniker – The Lost World: Special, House of the Dead 4 Special or Showdown. Now they have taken their popular light-gun game Transformers: Human Alliance and given it the Special works, while hearkening back to another famous gaming technology of theirs – the Sega R360.
