Arcade nostalgia is about to hit your living room. Tassei Denki has officially opened pre-orders for the highly anticipated G‘AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun System, a modern plug-and-play setup designed to bring the classic Time Crisis arcade experience back to fans just in time for the series’ 30th anniversary. The hardware ships in December 2025, making it a perfect holiday gift for retro and modern gamers alike.
The Arcade Legend, Reimagined for Modern Displays
Lightgun shooters like Time Crisis and Point Blank remain some of the most beloved arcade experiences of the 1990s, but traditional lightguns don’t work on modern TVs. The G‘AIM’E system solves that problem with a cutting-edge, AI-powered high-resolution camera system, making it compatible with virtually any modern display—no adapters, no complicated setup.
Developed under license and with input from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and members of the original Time Crisis arcade team, this is the most authentic way to relive the series without stepping into an arcade. The system comes preloaded with the full arcade ROMs for Time Crisis and other lightgun classics.
From Kickstarter Smash to Holiday Must-Have
Earlier this year, Tassei Denki launched a Kickstarter campaign for the project, which was fully funded within minutes. The campaign closed with pledges exceeding $1.1 million, nearly 25 times the original goal. Since then, Tassei Denki has showcased the system at hands-on events in the UK, Japan, Germany, and the US, where both fans and media praised its accuracy, ease of use, and authentic arcade feel.
