@jacksons98: You've never been to a pachinko parlor, have you?

Comment on Beatmania, The Pachislot Machine That is genius! I thought of making a slot machine out of IIDX Gold but I didn't think that anyone would actually do it! I would totally play that and I'm not really a fan of slot machines. Although the bonus game wouldn't come up often enough to make it worth playing just to play beatmania, I love beatmania so much that a beatmania themed machine just looks awesome. Does the bonus game pay out more if you play better? *Insert obligatory Gold Rush reference here*

@Channing:

I don't know... maybe they equate stand-up gambling machines of that size with pachinko?

@frank0127: I doubt it, 3-key Beatmania probably wouldn't be that hard considering 5-key is a piece of cake

And having only previously seen videos I am now amazed at how awesome this is

Did somebody say speed rave?

I'd be all over this if they had it in AC or Vegas. ALL OVER IT.

Maybe I'm dumb but I didn't see the "pachi" part of that.

@McPoogle:
DJ Max Portable 1 & 2 for PSP are like Beatmania. As a long-time Bemani fan I'd even have to admit they're better - music videos for every song, the levels are clearly tested against playing with the PSP controls and not just dumped across, so you'll never have to press left+right at the same time. Great audio quality and production value, and wide range of styles. Can you tell it's my favorite? haha...

@Tiger-Fever:
I have EBA and Ouendan 1+2, but I still keep Beatmania and Pop'n Music GBC on my PSP... they're fun once in a while. I want to get the WonderSwan version some day though, the sound quality is amazing for a black & white handheld.

That looks like so much fun! (Well, as a well to relax after you've wasted all your money) I'll stick to the normal game myself, the controls on this one look cramped and uncomfortable :P

@McPoogle: I don't know if you'd say that if you played the GB releases of Beatmania. As much as I love rhythm gaming, I'd rather stick to EBA and the like on the DS then ever venture back into that territory.

I couldn't imagine how this could be good - but then I saw it - just bolt a cut-down Beatmania machine to it, of course!

Sad thing is that's the one slot machine I might play since you have Beatmania to distract you from the fact you're playing slots :p

Even with the millions of Pachinko parlors for all the old fogey's who have nothing better to do up here, I doubt we'll get these in Iwate :'(

That was fucking fantastic! I have a feeling there will be mad amounts of clicking and what not in the pachislot parlors when those machines hit.

I wonder if it will have an earphone jack / volume control knob like the arcade machines?

It trances you into pressing buttons along with the rhytm as well as feeding it coins, and you lose track of time and awareness of your $$$ flowing away with the beat...Evil

Bokusatsu_Tenshi — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:03:15 MDT

It's on the pachislot but nothing related... or does it spew pachinko tokens based on your score on Beatmania?

That would be beyond awesome...

@gtc: ouch, lol... I heard V was actually on the songlist (not surprising, I'm sure.)

But yeah I'd play it... though I doubt I'd be any good at it, despite not having 7K+TT.

ocalot — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:23:18 MDT

Looks like it is fun to play, but I can't help wondering what maintenance is like for the machine after a lot of heavy play since having worked in an arcade I know that machines get abused frequently by customers which can lead to lots of repairs on popular machines.

I wish they'd put these in more casinos in vegas. I'd be visiting them more often.

Love the songs they picked for it.

You know, I'd play it. Beatmania, you pay a dollar at the arcade, and you get to play.
With this, you pay a dollar, get 97 cents back, and get to play.

Much better deal.
