I think any prospect of Frankie's getting anything other than a regular dancing game like DDR / PIU is out the window. It took a massive online petition submitted to both the Frankie's management and their distributor, Brady Games, just to get their first PIU machine in there.
I've gone to Brady again on multiple occasions since I discovered the splendor of IIDX, but I've been given a definitive "no" from both sides, this time. Upper-management doesn't want any more music games than what they have already because they "attract the wrong crowd" (?). They apparently had a bad experience with an old Drum Mania machine waaay back in the day.
If anything changes though, this forum will be the first to hear of it.. pretty much live across the street from the place. |
