REFLEC BEAT colette (AC) (Japan)

Not "officially" though

Neither is the one in UK, but since blehe pointed that out..

It's amazing how, in that sense of freedom, that jubeat and Reflec Beat machines are so hard to come by outside of Asia.

The only public known Rb in North America is in Vancouver.

And I can only think of four jubeat machines in the entire US (hopefully there's more).

Believe me, there will be more jubeat machines in the US in the future. I H O P E.

Reflec Beat I honestly have no idea, it's not that popular enough to warrant a machine to be brought over, but at the same time there is a need for ine over here, and you can bet Bemani Invasion will be the first ones to get it.

Any BEMANI Arcade that has been released past 2013 is essentially Japan (and Asia) only, if you see it in Europe or NA, they were brought over from Japan/Asia and installed with 'bootlegged' equipment. That is if it didn't come already installed, but you would need like Programmed World and the such to have the machines updated to the latest version and to even play on the machine.

I feel this post should be pulled up every time someone asks if XX machine is in Europe, US, South America, Brazil pls, and even Canada.

Not happening lol,. They have no interest.

Oh I beg to differ! Reflec is extremely popular. Bemani Invasion will one day get it. I have hope.

Maybe you should try talking to Sherl0k and Anthony, and they'll tell you how they feel about Reflec Beat.

I know exactly what they're gonna say, the game is garbage right? Haha yeah I figured as much. Not a lot of people in the community honestly like Reflec or understand why it's good. But I enjoy it, and quite a few others I know like it and wouldn't mind seeing it appear.

Which means they aren't going to support it...unless someone else possibly donates it to them. Hell, getting the arcade games cracked has been a low priority for those involved in that kinda thing. Which is too bad because AC Reflec Beat should run perfectly on a Windows Tablet, provided someone can make a driver for the game to accept the tablet's touch screen input.

*shrugs* oh well. Yeah a windows tablet would be perfect for it.

I know; I was just pointing out that DDR 2013 exists in Europe, too.

Reflec Beat will probably be over here eventually, but it most likely won't be in more than one or two places (considering jubeat's been around two years longer, yet it only has a handful of machines in America) Unless the iOS/Android apps become so popular that Konami is forced to make some sort of app-based arcade machine for both jubeat and RB (which would inevitably be absolute crap and have its own cruise ship of problems, but we'll get to that if it somehow happens)

...........

Or, they could just import jubeat and Reflec beat from Japan.

I think you're getting the impression that if they wanted to make the arcade version of jukebeat/Rb+ that it's going to be handled by Betson or whoever, well I honestly don't think that could be the issue. I don't really think that importing the arcade machines would be just as much as some arcade distributor making them, and if that were the case, I don't think .betson is going to be the first place Konami is going to call if they want an 'American' version of both those games.

Since Konami isn't doing jack shit about their BEMANI AC line-up outside America, let other people handle that part. If for some reason Konami ceases the opportunity down the line to actually make a version/import, then well we have that option available.

Also, remember UBeat?
