No visible songlist updates though.

How about es/ees?

i got saber wing headshot mix once. but that isn't new.

also the x-specials are available if you do the correct requirements, but that isn't new either.

Question: does anyone know if/when there's gonna be an official page for the US version?
Since there's lots of machines in Local Mode, my guess is that the game has Unlock Codes like in SN2...

i'm pretty sure konami has completely forgotten about any of that stuff in the scramble to make the game playable

I just played on a brand new X machine that was recently purchased (and strangely enough, has e-amuse enabled but no network connection is available), looks like Betson/Konami's reverted back to the original pad design. Works really nice.

By original pad design, you mean the design present on Japanese machines/US Test machines?

Really? Any pics/video of the pads?

***June.H*** · 11-16-2009, 03:20 AM

As in the Japanese test machine pads. Raised, thicker, 9-panel construction, etc.

No pics, wasn't a huge deal I thought until e-amuse was actually working.

Good pads are a pretty huge deal - where is this btw?

ranatalus · 11-16-2009, 04:48 PM

they should (but won't) replace all the crappy pads they already sent out

Er, this was a Location test (location), isn't this the Loctest machine just back here again?

Swors-k · 11-17-2009, 06:02 PM

Me and Goemon are about to head over to this location and check stuff out. I will take a few pictures.

I don't think so since its missing the led sticks.

They aren't the JP style pads.

They're essentially old style pads outfitted with x-style bars and arrow panels. Don't get me wrong, this is a great improvement.

The height difference in the pad is apparent in the black diamond plate connector box covering the pad wires. The height of the box was made to match the US X pads, but these pads are taller, so now there's like a 1.5 inch ledge that I tripped on.

However, the HD lag is still maddeningly bad and there's not even any new songs unlocked or anything.
