went to the trafford centre on the 6th of april 2023 and saw stepmaniax in here. (follow me on the smx tracker app btw, my username is keiron)

maybe it'll be back?
mitth-bev-nuruodo4 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
bastards. they can't say it gained no interest, we saw others on it continually, and all sorts of people :,(

We've only been just before closing so far, and the people there at the time, had no clue about either how long it'd be there or any problem with the platform (and seem dis interested about it) I'm off tomorrow and will go be there much earlier, so will try and catch any techs working!
tedward6184 years agotedward618
yo have they been asked to fix the platform yet
DDRshane4 years agoDDRshane
thank god it isnt supernova ;)
tedward6184 years agotedward618
the rumour is that its the other cab from london, still awaiting confirmation on that though
mitth-bev-nuruodo4 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
We dropped in after I finished work as we're just across the road. It's VERY loud at the mo, and the platform rolls around badly at the mo, wheels still down under it.
lmaosamsddr4 years agolmaosamsddr
It took 2 years, but DDR A is back!
lmaosamsddr6 years agolmaosamsddr
It's in London now and I was in the area it was in on Sunday! I could've played! :C
mitth-bev-nuruodo6 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
lmaosamsddr, a few staff said it was there last week, said it would def be back in a few weeks. Stopped by today, and still not back, so maybe next week...or the following hopefully. It won't be long there before someone notices for sure anyhow!
lmaosamsddr6 years agolmaosamsddr
I think it was at EAG. I saw pictures of an A cab at EAG on twitter.
Highflyer6 years agoHighflyer
Technician couldn't say but said it would be back. I presume that it's been taken to EAG and may be back afterwards
lmaosamsddr6 years agolmaosamsddr
What?! Why was the DDR A removed?
lmaosamsddr6 years agolmaosamsddr
mitth-bev-nuruodo yeah the arcades in Hastings are pretty good (mostly). Just avoid Flamingo Arcade and you should be good to go. I really hope they can get DDR A in Hastings considering they got X and X2 near launch when they came out.
mitth-bev-nuruodo6 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
I'll ask at work tomorrow if anyone knows, if someone here doesn't already know and responds first anyway! :) But as far as I 'think' I heard, it's part of trialling it here, going from when in London a while ago, but I don't if that's true or not, or if Namco has actually leased/bought one. I'm wondering as well obviously! I was down south coast in July, and went all around, but didn't go to Hastings, as weren't any arcades listed here...then soon after, you listed them and I was like, darn it... Wish I'd gone through there too! Even if the machines aren't great, I just like to check out any and all arcades :P
lmaosamsddr6 years agolmaosamsddr
mitth-bev-nuruodo is there any news of other locations getting it? Doubt Hasting's will get it but it's always nice to know of other areas that could get it.
mitth-bev-nuruodo6 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
dunno for how long though. It's nice, the pads are a bit slippery to me though
mitth-bev-nuruodo6 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
Yes they do lmaosamsddr
lmaosamsddr6 years agolmaosamsddr
Apparently they have Ace here now. Is this true?
nara-cy@8 years agonara-cy@
Popped in after work to try the machine again - Left side left pad still bad, works, but bad. Right side back pad also bad, very loose. Sigh.
mitth-bev-nuruodo9 years agomitth-bev-nuruodo
Namco arcade needs to sort the X2 out. Surely a place like this should keep it in good working order, it aint Towyn or something! Left side was well annoying (06/08/2014) left arrow pad loose or something and would clonk everytime and was very hard to get freeze steps to hold. Volume is too low to boot, bah!

Riakodoadm managed a few full combos and AA's on the right side. I had to play without shoes as my shoes were too slippy, and am light on my feet as it is, but the buttons were much better. The guy in there playing said someone had adjusted the pads after he asked, seems to have helped a lot! I'd still say it's a push to say it's moderate, as seems on the brink LOL But would def not say it's broken and unplayable anymore. First good time we've had on it. ~~~previous comment.....
