@Felthry Yeah. In many cultures, giving things foreign-sounding names gives them an air of mystery or prestige (e.g. you can order "filet mignon" but not "tender beef"). Japanese media often does this with loanwords from English or other European languages.
@Felthry WHOOPS I kinda typed it wrong, it's "Oratorio Tangram". It's a pretty thesaurus name but
Oratorio = a large-scale opera
Tangram = a puzzle about rearranging shapes
So it's basically a fancy way of saying "Virtual On: Grand Remix". Tangram is also the name of one of the game's villains.
I love VOOT (joke)
@poss_bot still want the modern reboot of this franchise with animal mechs
@Felthry @poss_bot @Galuade @ShugoWah @Moot @Crocabit Virtual On is a one-on-one mecha fighting game from the 90s featuring a behind-the-back camera and a dual stick control scheme. It's played split screen or on separate displays.
VOOT is "Virtual On Ontario Tangram", the Dreamcast version of the game.
@poss_bot For what it's worth, I also have one of those and use it every day
