Well, on top of V2 being at E3, there's a very little known fact from several years ago. Right after DDR came out stateside for the PS1, a release date for Guitar Freaks to hit the U.S. PS1 popped up, March of 2001. I remember preordering it, and then being severely dissapointed 3 months later when it was canceled and I had to get my money back.
The guitar sim thing has been on KOA's mind for a while, and to be quite honest, I think the only reason that "Guitar Revolution" didn't come out before beatmania did, is because of the American bemani fanbase. Everyone on the forums was clamoring for beatmania, so that's what we got. Otherwise I'm sure KOJ would've thrown a U.S. Guitar Freaks at us first. |
