Bandai Namco publishing in the United States in January.
BY MITCH DYERStar Wars: Battle Pod is coming to American arcades in January 2015.

The first-person pilot game gives players control of the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader's TIE Advanced fighter, snowspeeders on Hoth, Endor speederbikes, and the iconic X-Wing for Death Star runs. Publisher Bandai Namco explained that Battle Pod features "arcade-exclusive gameplay on a unique dome screen enveloping your entire area of sight," and five stages from the original Star Wars Trilogy, and a playable level in which Darth Vader hunts Han Solo.

Check out the first images and trailer below. IGN will have hands-on impressions of Star Wars: Battle Pod from New York Comic-Con soon.

I played a jet game at the arcade with that exact setup. The some screen is pretty cool.
 
The flying was terrible and on-the-rails, but I wouldn't mind trying it as an arcade game.
 
That's real nice and everything, evocative of the old arcade game in days of yonder.

But come on. We all know what we'd like to see, and it's not this.
 
Wow this looks like it would be awesome. I don't really go to arcades though.

And this.
