Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.
I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

The goal of all this was to give children the chance to experience something like Famicom Rocky, a manga published in CoroCoro Comic, a partner of the event. The design is indeed very similar.
The 2nd pic presents the design before the event, and explicitly refers to the manga's giant controller.
Images of a giant FC controller, made for the 1985 Hudson Caravan. Built in a hurry and at low cost, only the participants from Fukuoka and its surrounding areas were able to try it out for less than a week before it broke down.

A former Sega employee confirms that the idea of adapting Virtua Racing for the Mega Drive was born when the company heard about Starfox, with the aim of countering the latter - although the two titles were released 13 months apart.

Y'a un rapport entre le DSP utilisé pour Virtua Racing, et la conception du PPU de la Famicom : Yagi Hiromitsu.
J'en avais parlé ici (si jamais tu veux aller lire) :

The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

Thank you Jonny. I have extract what Ono Hiroshi said about that footage in Zekû's book, and MT it in English (to work faster). Then corrected the translation a bit to be closer to the Japanese meaning. But keep in mind that English is not my native language ;)
