TATE mode on Dreamcast

[Jeffrey]

I want to put together a full list of Dreamcast games that have a TATE mode. Does such a list already exist? I found nothing with Google.

I only know for certain of Ikaruga. Can anyone add to that?

1. Ikaruga

2. Mame DC

3. . .

...

Trizeal

Psyvariar 2

Shikigami no Shiro 2

Radirgy

..(soon to be) Under Defeat

Gunbird 2

I think that's all of 'em. Mars Matrix, the Giga Wings, Chaos Field and Zero Gunner 2 are all 'vertizontal' games.

Don't mean to interupt or anything, but was is a "TATE Mode"?

 

[it290]

Vertical, rotated display - think Pac-Man or Galaga.

 

[Berty]

correct me if im wrong, but tate is japanese for vertical, and yoko is japanese for horizontal?

 

[it290]

Yep. Actually as I understand it, tate means 'stand'.

 

[Jeffrey]

That's all? Geez, I think Saturn may have more than that!

 

[it290]

Of course it does, the Saturn has many more shooters than the DC - and many more good shooters as well, I might add.

 

[Jeffrey]

Outside of shooters, are there any other TATE mode games for Dreamcast? It seems like there should be.

 

[Jeffrey]

I can't find any info if the following games have TATE mode or not. Can anyone who has played the following check the options menu for a vertical mode?

Border Down

Chaos Field

Zero Gunner 2

Psyvariar 2

Shikigami no Shiro 2

Gunbird 2

Trizeal

 

[it290]

The last four have tate, the first three don't. Border Down isn't even a vertical game. And nope, I don't think there are any non-shooter games with tate (unless you wanny include MAMEDC as you did).

Under Defeat tate mode is on the fly, which is really impressive (the right trigger changes the mode during game)
