I'm well aware of the SUCK that is the ITG2 from Lafayette

In fact, today (July 20th), the ITG2 is leaving Lafayette (to make room for their SuperNOVA, which I have not confirmed is actually at Lafayette yet) and coming to my arcade.

Actually, I'm over-zealous to get the new ITG2. You know why? I've asked my boss (and trust me, he takes care of his games better than any arcade in Louisiana) if he can SWITCH the pads from our DDR Extreme with the new (...well, not -new- new, just new to us) ITG2. That way, the regulars can actually enjoy ITG2 with a good pad, and leave the Extreme's (ITG2's) pad to be worked on.

If anyone is in or close to the Lafayette area, please check with the guys that work there on how long it will be until the SuperNOVA is there.

I live in Westlake actually, and I've been to the Isle a couple of times. It's held me over, but:

1) the left side now has an "out of order" sign
2) the right side, up arrow is loose, aka, when I hit the left and right arrows, or the middle of the pad, the up arrow registers as a hit, making mines that much harder.
3) the arcade is 100% unattended, and there are wild 7-year-olds playing freeze tag that come in, seriously, in waves of 10-15 kids.
4) the machine times for the menus are low
5) the volume is way to low
6) 3 tokens (meh, I'd rather pay two)

You say I'd regret having an ITG2 at our arcade? At least MY arcade doesn't sit on it's ass--we actually do something about stuff that doesn't work. We will solve the problem with the pads a quick as possible, and it will be a heck of a lot more of a payoff than Lafayette would ever get at it's arcade.

Thanks for the good news about Baton Rouge! I don't frequent over there, so where is this Rave theatre? In a mall/which mall? Poor, poor gameware......

GOOD NEWS! Not really, but better news than what was expected. Prien Lake Mall's Aladin's castle got Lafayette's ITG2 from the FRONT of the store, not the back!! I'm soooo very happy right now. The pads are decent enough to hold me over until we can fix 'em up a bit.

It's official: Lafayette has their SuperNOVA.
