G'AIM'E Campiagn » https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tasseidenki/gaime-plug-and-play-time-crisis-gun-system-for-modern-tvs We sent George to the Long Island Retro Gaming 2025 show to get some in-person, hands-on time with G'AIM'E's new offiically Namco-licensed light gun plug-and-play. Tassei Denki’s vision with G’AIM’E is to take the first step towards reviving classic light-gun controllers. In today’s gaming world, where racing wheels, fight sticks, and other specialized controllers thrive, it feels wrong that light-guns have all but disappeared from the modern games room. @LIRetroGaming @bandainamcoentertainment #retrogaming #namco #genxgrownup - LINKS https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tasseidenki/gaime-plug-and-play-time-crisis-gun-system-for-modern-tvs - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 As Advertised 00:50 Long Island Retro 01:35 First Impressions 02:45 Officially Licensed 03:20 Screens & Config 04:20 The Games 05:25 Bundles 06:35 Foot Pedal 07:35 Gun Feel & Dates 08:30 Summary
