Akumjao Dracula THE ARCADE is going through Japanese test locations right now, and a Kotaku reader sent his first hands-on impressions of the cab in to the publication to tell them all about it. It’s a co-op, House of the Dead-style game, except with whips and subweapons like knives. The whip is controlled by a motion-sensing Wii-mote like device.

It sounds like a lot of fun, and the player said the graphics and music were great too. Even the cabinet looks pretty! But unfortunately I think the chances of it coming stateside are somewhere between zilch and goose egg.

      Damn this sounds fun to play. Too bad the US doesn’t have anything like the mall sized arcade houses in Japan. Hopefully more games like this will gain enough popularity to localize in North Am.
