The wait is over for retro gaming fans – Tassei Denki has officially opened preorders for the long-awaited G’AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun, just in time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the legendary TIME CRISIS series. The company promises a genuine arcade experience that fits right into your living room – pedal, pinpoint accuracy, and all.
A Kickstarter Success Story
Earlier this year, Tassei Denki’s Kickstarter campaign for the G’AIM’E Lightgun system smashed expectations, fully funding within minutes and closing with an impressive $1.1 million raised — almost 25 times the original goal. Now, the company is turning that momentum into real-world excitement, delivering what fans have been demanding for decades: an authentic arcade Lightgun experience that works seamlessly on modern TVs.
Hands-On Previews and Global Buzz
Throughout the summer, Tassei Denki toured across the UK, Japan, Germany, and the US, giving gamers and media a hands-on look at the hardware. Early impressions? Unanimous praise. The G’AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun nails the nostalgia with modern precision — no adapters, no messy setups, and compatibility with practically any TV size. The only thing missing is the coin slot.
Officially Licensed and Technologically Advanced
Developed under the supervision of Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and several original members of the TIME CRISIS arcade team, this isn’t just a tribute — it’s the real deal. Classic Lightguns relied on CRT displays, but Tassei Denki’s solution uses AI-driven tech with a high-resolution camera to deliver accurate tracking on any modern screen. Setup takes seconds, calibration is automatic, and performance feels straight out of the arcade floor.
Three Bundles for Every Gamer
Tassei Denki is offering three unique bundles to suit all players and budgets:
- Basic – $99.99 USD / £99.99 GBP / €99.99 EUR
