Rumourgasm: New images of House of the Dead 4 show 360-based Chihiro 2?
SPOnG - Your bedsock for those embarrassing rumour spillages
Okay, first up we have a batch of screenshots from House of the Dead 4, the looming lightgun shooter from Sega. Nice aren't they? SPOnG was amongst the first non-Sega staffers to witness this game in action. If you care to read our impressions of this (and new Sonic, Afterburner and Virtua Fighter 5) click here.
Back to the point, according to gossip breaking in Japan on Sunday, these grabs are taken from a new arcade board, known as Chihiro 2 or Chihiro 360, depending on what you read and where. And yes, you guessed it, the system allegedly used Xbox 360 innards to power the coin-op zombie blaster. Potentially sexy stuff, we're sure you'll agree.
No confirmation of anything yet and it's unlikely we'll get anything for a while too. Perhaps this news will form part of Microsoft and/or Sega's big announcements this July. Stay tuned for updates as they break.

No.
But anyway, it might be a successor to the Chihiro board in terms of being Xbox-based but it's definitely not in name. Check out this flyer - the board is called "Lindbergh", breaking Sega's recent tradition of naming boards using Japanese names for girls - Naomi, Hikaru, Chihiro.

If that looks like HOTD3 then you should have an eye test. Much much more detail on those shots.
Looks nice, but it is still HOTD...

Come on, don't act surprised like a deer in headlights. It's another sequel in a time where 90% of games look draw droppingly sweet.
Nice to see Sega beating the series zombie flesh more, but does that mean we have to buy another two light guns, because the Xbox one won't work on 360?
