I've got a cheap little 13'' tv that I can do that with. But I wouldn't dare try that with my 30'' CRT in the living room. That sucker weighs about 200 lbs! :D


Mine is a 27 and weighs something like 80 I think; never actually weighed it. It hurts to carry, but rotating it is cake. Just don't let it slip :)

I play tate mode but sitting right-side up. I just treat it like a horizontal shooter.

Wouldn't it be AMAZING to play Radiant Silvergun HD on a beautiful 60'' Plasma or LCD TV that could be tilted and mounted on your wall for TATE mode!? :shock:

don't you have to turn your pad or stick so that up is right and down is left and right is down and left is up? that's awkward.

Not really. RS is designed for the usual 4:3 aspect ratio, the special term for this is “vertizontal” - YOKO No TATE!

Ikaruga, however... :shock:

Some games have the option for you to alter the controller to play like he plays but hold the controller as usual. I think RS or Ikaruga has that... fuzzy memory...

That is exactly what I want to do. Think about it, imagine you're gonna play a shooter, you set it to tate and you get up and rotate the TV on a swivel. Sweet~ :D
