I'll most likely be there. Tho' I usually hit the arcade as late as possible or as early as possible in any given day.

Haha they aren't that bad anymore.
I'm not to fond of BZN's pads
and BZO a lot of people just stopped coming there, so it's not really a long wait.

Apparently I've just heard that Street Fighter IV is now at BZN.

Dammit.

I still would prefer GFdm but I guess that's cool too.

[ΩOMEGAΩ]

wait... I just went there Thursday. It was not there, when did it get there, is it a test?

[June.H]

I think it was put in on Friday or Saturday, not sure if it's a test version. May be possible, although the Japanese version IIRC is slated for late July.

I'd still much rather take a GFdm V5 or IIDX 16 though. Still pretty skeptical on SFIV...might have to play it before I condemn it, probably go during the week.

[ΩOMEGAΩ]

I will definitely try it out next week (Thursday next week), because I am moving this week, and then I think Pluto relinquish is available as encore.

ya, not sure about IIDX 16, or V5. I would not be surprised about V5 testing at all, seeing as band games are VERY big right now. However Konami is going to have to try to make the right moves to get it released here. Also I would not be surprised if a dm game came out like they did in Europe. that machine was constantly played during BZN's test, just like IIDX, and people that were new to the game actually tried it too (unlike IIDX, where it was impossible to play on unless you were willing to wait in line for an hour).

ya, and how about that new DDR game? I wonder if that will have a test, let alone if it will release in America, o test at Naperville.

BZN doesn't seem like a very good place overall to test arcade machines, but I guess they have lot of money to do whatever. I can't think of any good arcades to place test machines due to the number of arcades dwindling away by the days...

Other than that, does anyone know the Kaotix PIU Club? I'm interested of joining one.

BZN is a good place because it gets a very average crowd, there for they know how to improve it.

Only other place I would suggest is D&B's or Gameworks, since those are really arcade game based.

Dammit, what about putting in a game that not every other damn arcade has? Hint: Not DDR

Sounds like we need JuBeat in the states.

More GF/DM. And lots of it.
