The First Location Test in The Philippines: SOUND VOLTEX -GRAVITY WARS III- and MUSECA!

Last sunday, I went to the very first location of BEMANI game in The Philippines, the SOUND VOLTEX -GRAVITY WARS III- and MUSECA.

Quantum SM North EDSA
The location test held at Quantum SM Norh EDSA in Quezon City. I was able to play SOUND VOLTEX but not the MUSECA due to long queue. Both machines are connected at the e-AMUSEMENT network, meaning e-AMUSEMENT PASS card holders can utilize it. For those who don't, e-AMUSEMENT PASS cards are available at the cashier counter for 200.00php a piece. The location test is until April, rumors have it that beatmaniaIIDX23 copula will have its location test here ,but no confirmation as of the press time.

Good thing that KONAMI gave the Philippine arcade a second look if they can setup its network here. Hoping that our local operators and KONAMI would agree on the Operator - KONAMI profit sharing as I believe, one of the big hindrances in putting up the said network, and of course the latest games that KONAMI can offer.

DDR MUSIC FIT!


Two weeks ago, I received my DDR MUSIC FIT bundle from Japan. I bought the game at Ebay for only $68.00.  It took 2 months before I received my postal letter from our local Post Office.

Although used, the game and dancepad is in pristine condition. A lot of the songs of this game are ported to the arcade version, DanceDanceRevolution X2.

This game is the last DDR home console for Nintendo Wii, as they are (I think), concentrating on the arcade version.
