SEGA Arcade Game Trades Joysticks For Blocks [Update]

Forget joysticks! SEGA's making a block controlled arcade game called Block Pipo.

It a co-op game that has players use blocks to control the on-screen characters. Cabinets can also be linked for some head-to-head action.

Block Pipo is expected to be out this summer in Japan.

Update: Arcade Heroes let us know that SEGA demonstrated this game last year in the US under the slight name change of "Brick People." No word on US release date.
