Sega Reveals Dual Screen Arcade Cabinet, Game

Taking a cue from the Nintendo DS's success, Sega plans to introduce a dual screen arcade cabinet in Japan. Unlike the handheld, however, this machine will feature touch panels with force feedback (the screen will shake when touches) on both screens, and a bar code reader.

The first title Sega has announced for the cabinet is Lilipri Yubi Puru Hime Chen, a female-targeted trading card-style arcade game, similar to the popular Oshare Majo: Love and Berry arcade series.

I wonder if Sega will somehow port its Love and Berry DS Collection game to this machine -- as that also featured a barcode-reading peripheral for scanning in Love and Berry cards, and it went on to sell over one million copies in Japan.

The dual screen cabinet and Lilipri Yubi Puru Hime Chen are slated to appear in Japanese arcades this Winter.
