That's...unexpected. Bayonetta's creator, Hideki Kamiya, was asked what Sega game he'd like next, and instead of bringing up something hardcore or obvious, he humbly requested a home version of the arcade game After Burner Climax.
Look, I love me some After Burner, but let's get creative, man. He could have gone the high-brow route and asked for Clockwork Knight 3 (remember that sh*t?). Or he could have gone the internet forum kiddie route and asked for "a good Sonic." Fanboy route? The next Shenmue, of course. An in-house Sega Rally sequel (and not that crap that came out last year)? Panzer Dragoon Next?
I expected more from you, Kamiya.

G-LOC in the R360 cab was amazing. Having actually experienced it all other arcade flight games just don't stack up (including Afterburner). I had the opportunity to purchase one a couple years back for $5500, but it wouldn't break down into enough manageable pieces for me to get it into my house.
hehe heheh hehe
I did love playing the AfterBurner at the Disneyland arcade back in the day
though a home port? Nah...unless i'm getting the arcade experience (which I won't.) it's like asking for the F-Zero arcade machine to come available to home owners. (and yes I know GCube but i'm talking the actual machine)
While the one in my arcade worked and didn't think that you were flailing your arms around all the time.
