This is a fun video showing demonstrations of how the 7800 does its thing. Really impressive console!

This is the very WIP shot of the opening to stage 1 of slap fight as seen on the 7800, shared with us by one of its developers. Looks really good already!

The music is definitely nice but I am most curious what sort of sprite capability is possible over that nice looking BG.

The main programmer mentioned that they might not be able to have a drop shadow for the aircraft, which tells me the game may be pushing the 7800 quite hard in the sprite department. I'm very curious just HOW far it can be pushed!
