I don't even want to know what they going to charge for that suit in its final form as I probably couldn't afford it anyway! ...

I also think that it would be cool if the aesthetics of the "Micrashell" suit followed a TRON theme (The CGI, especially the Light Cycle and the Tank, back then was stunning)! The initial retail price for that suit would probably be in the "If you have to ask then you can't afford it" range.

Yes, the Capcom console is most likely tailored to a specific market segment. I know about the X-Arcade controller and the MAME EMU. I also know that there are custom arcade cabinets that have a slot in the front to fit the X-Arcade controller and which cost $1,000 USD less than the cabinet that was "officially" made by X-Gaming specifically for the X-Arcade controller (e.g. - See
here and compare features to the "official" cabinet
here). For those peeps that can't afford an X-Arcade controller, there are less expensive arcade controllers like Eightarc's "Carbon" controller which retails for $59.99 USD (See
here). You can get two "Carbon" controllers and optionally place them side by side for two player action. Eightarc also sells higher end controllers. The "Carbon" controller is their least expensive controller.

That's an interesting observation! IMHO, I thought that the "Micrashell" suit was "Taking a cue" from a new, skin-tight SpaceSuit that a MIT Aeronautics researcher was developing for NASA (See
here).

Maybe Production Club, the creators of the "Mirashell" suit, could use you in their Marketing department. That's a creative way to sell the suit in addition to targeting it to peeps who want and can afford a higher end PPE.
