Tassei Denki was present during , in São Paulo, with a demonstration in the Business Area during the event and Gamerview participated in the test first hand. The novelty was presented at a symbolic moment due to the celebration of 30 years of Time Crisis, a franchise that marked generations with its frenetic action and iconic mechanics in arcades.
Developed to recreate the classic lightgun experience on modern devices, the G’AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun uses advanced AI technology combined with a high-resolution camera integrated into the gun barrel to accurately track movement on virtually any modern display, from 15″ to over 150″.
According to a chat we had with the team, the intention is to offer the public a way to relive the adrenaline of shooting games directly in their living room, with a focus on accessibility and compatibility with modern TVs, including automatic calibration that detects the edges of the screen without the need for infrared sensors. The mini console is lightweight and supports the recommended distances for TVs, ensuring smooth gameplay from multiple angles.
During Gamescom Latam 2026, the product was demonstrated on a common TV, by connecting a mini console and the Lightgun, which also has a pedal for the game’s recoil functions. With a simple connection system for the gun and pedal, via USB-C cable, the mini console calibrates the TV, of any size and brand, so you can play Time Crisis, Point Blank, Steel Gunner 1 & 2 as pre-installed games. The initiative reinforces Tassei Denki’s strategy of highlighting its hardware as a bridge between the past of arcades and the contemporary gaming ecosystem, with options such as activatable recoil, leaderboards and multiplayer support in Ultimate editions.
After more than four years of development and with support from Bandai Namco due to intellectual property, Tassei Denki and G’AIM’E sold fourteen thousand units around the world and reached Latin America, betting on the Brazilian market and fans of the franchise to sell the product here. The connection between Lightgun and TV seemed to be very consistent, including using the button on the side of the gun to replace the pedal recoil function, with satisfactory clicks, in addition to the sound being of high quality, just as it was in the arcade.
The G’AIM’E Lightgun will be sold in three bundle options: Basic, Premium and Ultimate. The difference between them is the addition of the pedal, for Premium and Ultimate, in addition to the fact that in Basic the mini console only has Time Crisis installed, while the others have four games in total.
For those interested, the values in Real have not yet been revealed, but the company should soon close a partnership to directly sell the product in Brazil. However, dollar values range from US$99.90 to US$199.90. And for those who purchase it, the Gun Holster, support for the weapon, is being made available free of charge on the G’AIM’E website to be printed in 3D.
To our surprise, during the chat and testing of the Lightgun, we had proof that this Tassei Denki peripheral can recreate the classic arcade shooting experience and will certainly win the hearts (and homes) of many nostalgic fans. With a beautiful appearance, full of details, lightweight and with plug and play connection, the expectation now is to know when we will have this accessory in Brazil.
