Although I know of one machine left in my city, do you guys miss it?
Personally, I think Konami could've taken that style of gaming to another level with different songs. And yes, I played it knowingly with the risk of looking like a tool. But it was fun nonetheless. | |

I'm hoping that if they will make another one, they should put Daisuke in it. And the characters dance to it Daisuke style  I also love listening to those Eurobeat songs...
Last Message would be nice to be included there too....

If you can find the set of the controller and game, it's pretty hard to find and could be expensive depending.

Either way, it was never made available for sale to arcades and wasn't even intended for players to use, IIRC only the actual ParaPara Allstars did demos on it.
As for PPP 3rd Mix, they did a location test, but it was right about the time ParaPara was dying. Techpara has gotten pretty popular as of late, but I doubt Konami will do anything with it because they've come to realize that it's hard to maintain so many arcade titles and be successful (hence why they killed off stuff like Keyboardmania, which was actually quite popular). | |
