Wandering the already teeming halls of Tokyo Game Show Thursday I stumbled upon what can only be described by abusing the English language: A broom video game controller that you actually ride to play.
The demo was in Japanese, as was the pamphlet, but it looked as if you played by sitting on a small bicycle seat, dangling your legs down on either side of the broomstick mounted beneath it. The player apparently leans forward to get a hold of the controller and a better view of the screen. According to the pamphlet for Online Mega's Parse Rorunpe you can also tilt the seat forward and backwards 10 degrees. I'm not sure if this is for controlling the game or just so you can pretend you're riding a pony instead of the most awesomest controller ever. Oh and they're are witches, though I'm pretty sure the game doesn't feature any touching. Don't tell Ash.

lol that controller "sweeps" away the competition!
LOL!!!!!
...sorry :(
I'm sure the company will really clean up!
I also eagerly await the mop and dusting sequel.
Oddly enough it won't do windows.
The lack of English makes the rightmost picture exceedingly disturbing.
How incredibly ...
phallic.
yeah.... that last pic...... very very strange is you have a strange mind... and i do so yeah.... its a penis rite? lol
Witch Fly Simulator?
Now all you need is a guitar-laden varient of the Wicked Witch theme from the Wizard of Oz...
Im slightly disturbed by that and happy I missed seeing that thing. ;D
but does it have rumble?
This might get girls to play games more...if it rumbles.
makes you just wanna jump on there and yell "ill get you my pretty! and your little dog too"
he's a witch!!
fondle him!!!
So, it's coming out for PC, arcade, and...keitai? >.>
Good grief...they'll put *anything* on a cellphone these days.
@koji:
and i remember there WAS vibrating broom toy from Mattel...
and parents were complaining that their little girls were playing with it for hours....

Kiki's Delivery Service: The Game!
Harry Potter 6 - EA, you know what you have to do! If you can ship bulky stuff with Rock Band, you can do it for Potter, too.
@icepick314: Oh my.
@cdammers: adds a strong ventilator, a lazy cat, and we have something.
@El-Suave: Forget Harry Potter 6, maybe there's room for an EA Sports franchise worth buying. Harry Potter Quidditch 2009. Oh yeah.
God, I wish this was the new cotton game. That would make up for the dreamcast one.
Sir!
I found a witch!
ファイアしてください！！！
Er...
wait...
For the record, the Gizmodo pic with the cute girl riding it: 1000x better.
"How do you know she's a witch?"
"She turned me into a newt ... I got better."
If this doesn't make it into Microsoft Flight Simulator, then I don't see a reason to MAKE a new Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Awesome, a game where you constantly grasp tightly to a stick coming out from your crotch. Like I haven't been playing that game for 7 years already.
@RedPhaazoid: You comment make me want a Space Tycoon, one from pre-WWII era, to nowdays and beyond. With Hitler, and crazy Stalin and JFK and Nixon and moon Helio3, etc.. Creating rockets is lots of fun!.. almost all bugs become a giganteous explosion!
I demand co-op two player D:
Maybe even three. D:
This seems like a good idea until you see the fat, unbathed Guitar Hero guy at Best Buy riding this demo unit....in shorts.
@Tybee: Scarier still, he's still sporting the Guitar while trying to imagine himself as Ino's counterpart from Guilty Gear X2...
Yes, but does it rumble?
rules!
Add a lightgun/wand and this might just be awesome.
Broomstick racing... I don't think that's been done in arcades before. It'd make a great Harry Potter tie-in.
@icepick314: hahahaha, that's some very disturbing stuff right there icepick :D
