Is Sega testing out an arcade sequel to their GHOST Squad series in Japan? It’s certainly possible as today they announced a new location test in Japan that starts this Friday (4/29) and goes until next Monday(5/2). The new game is called Operation G.H.O.S.T. and while practically no details have been released on the game other than a teaser site announcing the test, Sega did something similar with GHOST Squad, where on the flyer for the game they abbreviated GHOST for “Global Humanitarian Operation & Special Tactics”. As you can see from the only image we have of the new game above, it fits into the anti-terrorist mold that the first GHOST Squad did, but now with new shiny Modern Graphics™. We don’t know anything else about it yet but perhaps we’ll know something once the location test is underway.
UPDATE: Just to clarify, this is a test for a coin-op arcade game and not a console title. Sega doesn’t hold public location tests for their console games like this for one thing but I just want it to be clear.

Yes please! Ghost Squad is one of my favourite gun games, I still carry the save card in my wallet on the off chance that I happen across a machine.
The name makes me think of a cross between ghost squad ( of course) and taito’s operation gun series such as operation wolf etc, I hope there’s gonna be a cool feature in the game like time crisis pedal, primeval hunt touch screen etc
I’m hoping to get into games testing and ultimately animation could you please put me on the right path please
