I've been wanting to get a true arcade style Beatmania IIDX controller for almost 3 years. Now that I have a stable and disposable income, I finally broke down and got one. Here are a few pictures.

It was $200, which is more than I've paid for any controller to date, but it was worth every penny.

Thanks! It's a lot of fun to play. The feeling of those keys is so satisfying.

I bet its satisfying, especially after 3 years of wanting such a controller! It looks so epic the way it glows!

Nice! Remember when we used to watch videos of crazy Japanese people destroying Beatmania and Pop'N Music in arcades? Good times.

I agree, when it comes to Bemani games, the arcade style controllers make the games so much more fun to play.

Hell yeah, those were good times. Those crazy Japanese are STILL at it, despite the console versions not being made anymore. Hittin' them arcades! Maybe one day I'll get to play the arcade version.

Thanks! The Bemani games are definitely a treat to play using the original hardware. After doing a comparison between the US Beatmania controller and this new one, it's no contest. I saw a huge improvement in scores, not to mention the clicking of the buttons help with the timing of each note.

Just started up Heavy Rain. A lot of quick-time events in this one. Not sure how long I am going to be enjoying this game.

that thing is wicked sick!

Last week, I finally acquired Sonic Jam for the Saturn.

Even I'm surprised that I'm still playing it heavily, considering I have been playing the ol' Genesis Sonic games over and over since 1993. The unique features in the Saturn ports really do keep me interested. In my opinion, it's a much more interesting compilation than the Sonic Mega Collection rom-pack that Sega gave us on the Gamecube and PS2.

Also... it's great for relieving stress.

QTE's is pretty much all that game is.

Hmmm, good to know. I borrowed it from a friend, so it's no biggie.

愛 · 05-11-2012, 04:16 AM

The game is more for the story than anything else. Gameplay is, well, QTE's and that's it. It's a shame that the story kinda sucks, too.

**Barkworm** · 05-11-2012, 05:24 AM

I never played it and have huge prejudices against it for various reasons. I'm sure I'll pick it up sometime this year though just to see if I was right.

BAXTER STOCKMAN 19 · 05-11-2012, 06:25 AM

today i bought STREET FIGHTER X TEKEN and started playing it! Awesome game so far!

Funny you guys mention Heavy Rain. I dreamed up a "dream game" of mine the othher day relating to HR.

I want Quanitc Dream to develop a game based on the manga/anime, "Akira", in the style of Heavy Rain.

Will never happen, but I can dream.

*Cure* · 05-11-2012, 01:38 PM

I just beat Xenoblade. It was pretty good and a lot of fun. I dunno about all the "best RPG ever" stuff, though.

I've also gotten into Minecraft with my dawgz on 360. I know why people dig it now.

**Barkworm** · 05-11-2012, 01:58 PM

How many hours did it take you? I was about 45 hours in and had only beaten about one third of the game.
