The Real Arcade Pro 4 from HORI has been a staple for many arcade stick users since the start of this console generation. This second generation Vewlix based design contains many unique features, including HORI’s own line of arcade parts. That said, the RAP 4 does lack the color options available compared to some of its competitors–until now, that is.
HORI has announced a new line of colored variants for the Real Arcade Pro 4. These new editions of the RAP 4 will come in either Red, White, or Blue bodies with matching artwork.
Mechanically, all three variants use the same Hayabusa lever and buttons as the regular black RAP 4 Hayabusa. These are the same parts also seen in the Real Arcade Pro Premium VLX Hayabusa that we reviewed earlier this year. The sticks also retain the same functionality as the default black RAP 4 Hayabusa including the touchpad, sped adjustable turbo, and an Assign function for swapping out button assignments such as Options and the touchpad.
Interested parties can now head on over to HORI Japan’s online store to pre-purchase the red, white, and blue versions of the Real Arcade Pro 4 Hayabusa. Suggested retail price for each is ¥ 16,178 ($156.74 USD) with tax.
In addition to this, the red and blue variants of the RAP 4 Hayabusa will also be the basis of the Touhou Urban Legend in Limbo arcade sticks that were announced alongside the game’s PS4 release. The red RAP 4 will be the basis for the Amazon Japan exclusive “Reimu Hakurei” version, and the blue RAP 4 will be the basis for the HORI store exclusive “Marisa Kirisame” version.
