You know when you buy a arcade machine for places like GameWorks and Dave and Busters. There’s always a manual with it on how to play the game. But the real deal is…. what if Sega made a crossover game with Bayonetta and The House of the Dead. In Japanese terms, Bayonetta X The House of the Dead. An anonymous SegaBits member made an awesome instruction manual on how to play The House of the Dead: Climax Edition.
Player 1 plays the left gun and right gun
Player 2 plays the left leg and right leg
Whoever drew this needs to be hired at Sega. This concept is amazing for a spinoff game. Check it out!
