>North American Dave & Buster’s specifically placed orders for DanceDanceRevolution A in the white cabinet to be sent to stores and will be arriving this Spring/Summer to just under half their locations.
Japanese arcades are getting updated with the new version as we speak, and soon it will officially come back to Western arcades.

buy a controller or use the ghetto 2mice + keyboard control scheme
download kshootmania
or if you live close to an arcade drive there and play it
>>332480584
dave and busters went from being a cancer to arcade bars to becoming the go to(outside of gamework locations) area for arcades
I don't know how I should feel about this
>>332484839
to be fair, most of their machines are still absolute shit.
>>332480584

>not playing BeatMania
Nigga, stop paying for rhythm games
>>332484839
what are you talking about? Dave and busters is still shit.
if youre talking about chains, Round1 is still far superior since they mostly focus on japanese arcades rather than fake mobile game arcades like what dave and busters does.

I need more of this shit. Can I play this on PC?More specifically, Linux?
>>332485795
Look up 9key song packs for Lunatic Rave 2 (a IIDX sim, kind of like Stepmania for DDR) and get the lightpop ex skin to make it look like pop'n
>>332485795
Not linux, but Lunatic Rave 2 supports community made pop'n charts. reddit has a decent guide on setting things up.
If you absolutely have to have the real thing, look into the PS2 games with a proper controller - afaik DJDAO is the only brand still making them.
If the older games still aren't enough, you'll have to start doing some digging.
I really like and can easily 100%theatrhythm and P4DAN
I'm sure these are pleb taste/tier games, but I don't know where to go. Project Diva? Can do any console/platform.
>>332485048
>>Nigga, stop paying for rhythm games
but copula is fun
>not having a Round 1 <1 hour away slated to open in the spring.
Medium pip
Hopefully it opens this year. The only other IIDX machine on Long Island got shut down when PW went away.
>>332486051
I can just make my own controller. It's literally just 7 colored buttons, so it shouldn't be that hard.
Does Lunatic Rave 2 work well using WINE?
Can I get a recommendation for something similar to DJ Max Portable 2? I tried Osu and stepmania but neither one of them felt as fun as DJMAX
>>332483509
It's true, though.
>>332486094
if you just want a chill experience Project Diva is fine.
If you actually want a challenge, there are a shitton of options. Nothing on consoles, though. What kind of soundtrack are you looking for?
>>332486186
>7 buttons
I've heard good things about using WINE, but I've never actually seen someone playing with it so I couldn't tell you.
>>332486263
torrent DJMAX Trilogy, there aren't any other series with the same kind of soundtrack, sadly.
>>332486263
You have 3 options. One is going to trigger bemani people.
1. DJ Max Trilogy - The PC release that is pretty much a compilation of everything from 1 to around Black square. It was unpiratable for a good while due the games mandatory USB dongle security but somehow it was cracked. Probably your best bet right now if you can find it on a public tracker.
2. Lunatic Rave 2 + DJ MaxBMS's + a DJ Max Skin. There's a guide somewhere on pastebin.
3.osu!mania with a djmax skinIt's the easiest to get into but the quality of charts are all over the place. Only try this if the other 2 options aren't available.
>>332486186
>It's literally just 7 colored buttons
uh, i think you're missing something there buddy
>>332486729
fyi the reddit guide is more up to date than pastebin. it doesn't link to any iidx/djmax bms files but those are found pretty easily.
i thought they axed DDR after X?
Will I be able to move by body freery though?
>>332486802
To be fair, the white buttons have clear domes instead of tinted ones.
>>332486545
>>332486802
Been a few months since I played it, figured it was 7 or 9 buttons.
Pardon my retardation.
>>332486959
There was X2, X3, and then 2013, along with the 2014 update that was a direct update to 2013, and now we're getting A. So no, they never "axed" DDR.
>>332487150
I'm talking about the turntable senpai
>>332486959
outside of Japan, yes. Not that they took American arcades very seriously to begin with: The X series were produced largely to fuel their legal battle against RoXor and their clone, ITG, and the cabs themselves were very shoddily made.
In Japan, the series has been just fine. The community got better, and so they make the next game with harder songs. Repeat for a decade.
This is one of the most recent songs. It's a failed attempt, but all the other videos are garbage quality.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGJAnQEgeMs
There are a couple D&B locations near me, so I might play some DDR A every once in a while if they get it.
I'll probably spend more time at my local arcade that has other bemani games, though. Wouldn't it be nice if Konami actually started offering eAmusement service to smaller places.
>>332486545
Soundtrack wise, don't really care honestly. I like dance/electronica, but a few years of playing sc2 means I can put up with j/kpop now so it doesn't matter much.
What I'm trying to say is, something that's possible for mere mortals I guess

Future Tone PS4 WHEN?
>>332487550
Torrenting DJMAX Trilogy is a good start, then. It has a wide variety of Korean music with an equally wide variety of difficulty options. The only real issue is that most of the content is locked behind a grind wall, but there should be a 100% save floating around somewhere.
Alternatively, you could go the Stepmania route, but then you have to go through the trouble of finding song packs that are not shit and that you can play.
Osu is by far the most flexible rhythm game client, but is 90% anime OPs. Both Standard and Mania are good game modes, but as with Stepmania you'd need to be willing to dig for good songs.
>>332487476
If that's a shot from your actual arcade, what is it? Looks cozy, I have a local arcade with bemani games but it's in a big bright mall location (it doesn't even have arcade carpets!) so it doesn't quite have that arcade feel.
I've also got a round 1, but it's a bit more of a trek and I'd rather support a local community arcade anyways.
Is SuperBeat XONiC any good?
>>332487595
Fall. It's split into two 30ish dollar games.
Japanese PSN only, so you're gonna have to make an account, and buy some japanese PSN cards.

>>332488172

I heard spring. Didn't they re-iterate that it was coming this spring when they announced the two versions a week ago?
>>332487989
Thanks, will give DJMAX a shot to start.
>>332488021
>If that's a shot from your actual arcade, what is it?
But what if you're a Konmai spy.
>>332480584
Pic related is the only rhythm game i play now
>>332488059
GOD no. Terrible gameplay, Awful note stream, horrid controls, and the worst songlist i've ever experienced in a music game, and that includes rock revolution.
>>332488298
Are you confusing Future tone with X? Future tone has no "freeze arrows" or directional double notes(no left Square, but Square and X at the same time), only bonus hold notes, and X is latest console release. Future tone is the arcade port.
bam
>>332489004
You're the only person I've heard say that Superbeat was bad. Could you elaborate.
Actually... before that, can you share your thoughts on Persona 4: Dancing All Night?
...also I'm pretty sure it's the PS4 version of X that is coming out this Fall, not Future Tone. The last I heard about Future Tone was that it was slated to release sometime this spring.
>>332488208
don't even
>>332480584
I play Sound Voltex at the Round 1 closest to my city. I don't go often since it's out of town but it's still nice to have some way of playing jap rhythm games in person.
>>332488769
Taiko 3DS 3 soon, fellow drummer.
...do you know the best guide for setting up TaikoJiro?
>>332490497
No clue, never used it, I just used OSU with a fuck ton of taiko skins to make it look like taiko, still doesn't look like it 100% but it's still good enough for me
>>332490276
Music choice of course is subjective, I found the entire songlist with the exception of all night long and fantis-K or whatever to be totally dull and vapid.
The note system was needlessly complicated with stick presses, though everything "Could" be substituted with touchscreen presses. The touchscreen wasn't nearly as responsive as technika's was, so "Could" remained a theroy.
In addition, the notecharts went from easyeasy, to kinda tough, to satan's vibrator. The difficulty spike was steep, without rewarding gameplay to justify expending the effort.
Persona dancing all night doesn't appeal to me either as i don't like persona, and there's nothing that really grabs me on the songlist. It all seems to be light pop to jazz. None of which i like.
Project Diva X is coming out for PS4 in fall, and it came out for Vita on thursday of last week.
Project Diva Future Tone has been split into two games, Future Sound, which is mainly the sony console songs(Tengaku, World is mine, Sadistic music factory) and Colorful Tone which is mainly the arcade and 3DS songs(Like the wind, Commonplace world domination, Snowman, Mellow yellow, Black gold) Each game with have 100ish songs, the full songlist will be somewhere around 220ish. They said they will be "Bargain priced" which is usually around 3400 yen.
How popular is DDR in Japan these days compared to other rhythm games like IIDX, SDVX, and Jubeat? Been out of the loop.
Best mobile rhythm game?
>>332491063
I didn't like P4:DAN that much either. I thought that the clear criteria and the way that scoring was handled was obtuse as fuck and the gameplay, while fun, got old pretty quickly.
I already knew about X and Future Tone. I was just asking why you thought the PS4 Future Tone games were coming in Fall when everything they've said so far makes it seem like they really are still coming out in the next month or so.
>>332491157
idk about best but
Cytus and Deemo are good if you're on Android. No calibration on ios = garbage.
Dynamix has decent gameplay but a 7/10 soundtrack.
Same with Rhythm Control: Good game, meh soundtrack.
Musync is a newer one, simpler but carried by a good soundtrack and gets kinda-sorta hard.
YES FINALLY A NEW DDR
I hope there's more Tomosuke stuff and if we're talking about unrealistic wishes i want Sanae Shintani and the original BeForU.
>>332491157
Tone Sphere, Dynamix, Deemo, Cytus, EatBeat Dead Spike-San (if you like BlazBlue), Love Live (if you like J-pop) and nanobeat which is one of my favorites but it's in Japanese, don't worry though you just need common sense to understand it. There are others but these are the absolute best believe me.

>>332480584
the first and only time i went to dave and busters, we made the mistake of eating food, shit was cold, soggy fried shit that no one would want to eat before spending an hour moving around at an arcade.
Up side, they had daytona usa.
Down side, their ddr machine was ON but out of order, and literally everything else they had there was phone games you pay for chances to play on, time crisis shit i've played a million times (with the exception of time crisis 5, i didn't even know there was a 5), shitty electronic rigged ticket machines and those basket ball hoop games to make the nig nogs happy. They also had guitar hero arcade which is literally just "pay a dollar to play one fucking song on guitar hero 3", but their in house music was so fucking loud you couldn't hear the game. even if DDR were working, i wouldn't have been able to play properly.
we spent 60 bucks total on food and credits, and walked out with a giant pair of sunglasses and really really shitty vampire teeth. shittiest place i've ever been to. fuck dave and busters.
DDR went to shit after DDR8 Xtreme. Supanova was such a clusterfuck of bad detection and timings.
Could never get into ITG, no colour difference between the arrows basically completely fucked me, also everything was like a fucking 12+ footer.

But the default note skin in ITG has more descriptive colors than anything in DDR in most respects.

I play DTXMania with my Roland electric kit. Many fond memories of earlier Drummania mixes and I've got them all up through 10th mix.
Since it can be hard to find... here's the giant pack of songs. Requires some moving folders around to work with the latest DTXMania but it's really not hard.

Not a fan. The layout just doesn't feel comfortable or intuitive, and the on screen visuals could be better too.

anyone where I could find good songpacks for Stepmania that aren't the actual DDR games?
