Ooh, I didn't see that. I did play Lupin III: The Typing though, which was a challenge in memorizing and typing random sequences of letters for a non-Japanese speaker like me  I couldn't progress further than the mannequin stage as it began displaying kana prompts.
Indeed, I do wonder how rugged the keyboards on these machines are. Can't imagine them lasting more than a week in a western arcade without some spaz prying off half of the keys and throwing them at his mates.
As for a game with lots of buttons, how about The First Funky Fighter. Nine buttons per player!
