I know! You're welcome.
I'm glad I could help you get those NGDT AES games you dumped 100% deposit on... oh wait, never mind, my bad.

The idea is admirable for arcade enthusiasts but, its just not practical IMO for a lot of people including me. I was really looking forward to it but I'm not flipping my tv for no game. I just don't understand why they didn't make it like Strikers 1945 Plus w/ the side bars. It would have been just as good imo of course.

I'm waiting on XYX MVS reprint depending on how much I like my DC copy. I wouldn't be into the AES version, but if it's a stellar Toaplan like shooter, I'd buy a cheap one-slot and put the MVS cart in my tate cab. An AES copy would be for show purposes only, and I don't suffer from that craziness...yet.
Maybe it's designed to be played while sleeping on a couch. XD

Well, I for one WILL be tateing my crt tv with cmvs for xyx. Much easier than tateing the cab monitor. Cant imagine it being any different for many of you guys with AES 
Besides, I thought they were going to be giving it a good effort to make it playable vertically too, what with some of the graphics being redrawn as rotated as an option.

29" CRT, Toshiba TV, rotated on it's side?? Maybe if it was a 14" or an equally sided cube-like PVM etc, but... no. Not a chance. And not buying a TV just for one game either.
They're rotating the HUD/score gfx etc so you can play it 'like' a Hori shooter. Brilliant. Granted, the game can't be rotated in the options when played on the Neo due to how the hardware is designed to display sprites (i.e. game needs to be recreated AGAIN to run in Yoko), however...
They could at least bother to include a scaled Yoko mode on the SEGA Dreamcast version, because that console is more than capable. Then again... would you want the DC release to ursurp the 10x more expensive Neo release?
Probably not.
It's just a shame for me, personally, as it looks like a cool game but I just don't have a satisfactory way of playing it. And horizontally isn't it...

But apparently the backlash was already enough. Somewhere around March they said it would be their first and last tate game. Also, shouldn't this be in the XYX thread?

Fair enough, IF you were buying the MVS cart; it's expected that you'd probably have the right set-up to accommodate the game. But for those with a Home Cart system or DC, then you *should* presume that the potential buyers will want to play the game on their home set-up, which ordinarily, doesn't comprise of a 'portrait' orientated TV screen for tate gaming.
Personally, I don't game on a small portable TV set that can be easily rotated, nor do I play games on a small LCD monitor on a computer desk in the corner of a spare room with a dedicated chair.
Regardless, I'm just one of a few in a minority. Ultimately, I hope the game is good and I hope those who do buy it get the most out of it and enjoy it. The TATE only approach will definitely be great for those who can take advantage or be more willing to flex for it...

Well... Mine´s a 30" Sony Trinitron. It stays on its side if I just turn it on its side. It´s rather simple. Turn off first. wait 15 minutes. Rotate, wait another few minutes. turn on. Tate action.
(old pic, never mind the cab, it doesnt look quite like that anymore
But there is the tv tated next to it. )I dont know if your tv has some funky unstable side so it doesnt stay stable when rotated but other than that, I dont see why not to try it
