Are DDR machines starting to disappear?

1 at Westfield mall (Extreme) Whether this was for Brandon or Citrus, both are gone.

(San Diego)
Only machine in close range of me is a SuperNOVA at a movie theater and that one isn't fairly used so idk why the monitor on it has a messed up color palette and that's really the only machine I can think of that's in Chula Vista other than the Brunswick Bowling SuperNOVA.
A Dave and Busters has a SuperNOVA 2 but they moved that to the back so it doesn't get much attention anymore in replacement of the Pump It Up EX (i think) which took its place so I wouldn't be surprised if they sold the machine or just throw it out. (No one really even played it when it was smack dab in the middle)
The Sycuan mall has a DDR Extreme but I rarely go there anymore so I don't know the condition of the machine, last time I went there it seemed perfectly fine but that was when I was starting out and didn't pay much attention to the pad condition and monitor condition of it.
SeaWorld has an X2 that is literally perfection but it's SeaWorld so you gotta pay to get in and pay for the game card in the arcade. Only played it once and it's a dedicab too.

(Fresno)
The Sierra Vista Mall (idk if that's even the right one) has a DDR Extreme, they used to have a Max 2 but that most likely got thrown out. They have a GuitarFreaks and a DrumMania but that DrumMania WILL get thrown out eventually since it's been down last time I went.
Boomers has two Extremes, they rarely get played and aren't in the best shape, the Extreme closest to the entrance has the marquee of a 5th Mix and the pads just suck.
I think Blackbeards has an ITG and an Extreme but I haven't been there for a very long time so they're either still there but in really bad shape or thrown out completely.

(San Francisco)
I went to San Fran once and went to this arcade called Metro or something and they had beatmania and DDR, and quite a lot too but I'm pretty sure it got closed down. I loved that place as a kid and would visit again had they not closed down.

Buggu! You live in San Diego too? I do too, I've played at that SuperNova that is in the AMC you are talking about. The colors are so bad and the pads get weird. Have you been to Boomers in Clairemont? There's an Extreme and a Max2(monitor not working) up there

Dang, heh, one thing I always did when going down to visit family in Florida was go there - see they finally sold it off. it seems... Even with it being utter shit at times, it was fun playing right in front of a huge window, and getting a large crowd.

Wow, I thought San Diego didn't have many BEMANI players. Guess there's a couple scattered all over the city.
I think I've seen that Boomers once or twice but never got to go. Definitely will check it out.

Oh, the one at D&B is really getting worst, well it plays nice when it wants to. I went last night, they turned off the marquee sign. I've only met a couple of people, one girl who was getting her friend into the game and she was building back her stamina. But she lived up towards Poway, where there is an ITG in the nickel city, but good luck trying to get on that machine. It's almost always busy with people, like they must plan days that they play and go there.

Then, I met a guy and girl at that Boomers I said above there. They were really nice and I asked if they knew more people or if they had known of other good machines(that doesn't require you to pay admission like seaworld to play their X or X2, not sure which they said were there). I've seen plenty of machines in town, but they are so crappy! that I won't even put them on the arcade portion of this site.

I thought I saw a site called fun 4 all that said they had an extreme, I haven't checked out the condition of it yet. Do you want to plan times to play? It would be up to you

I'm from San Diego, and I've dropped by a handful of arcades across the city, and honestly, I'd say there's still plenty of functional DDR machines, as well as a decent community to supplement them. I'm pretty sure all of the Boomers locations in San Diego County still have their DDR cabinets, plus other places such as Parkway Plaza in El Cajon. There's an R21-compatible ITG machine at Nickel City (now in Miramar), which still attracts a lot of competitive players based on my recent experience there.

I agree the D&B Extreme is pretty bad. The ones at Boomers, at least in El Cajon and Clairemont, are much better.

Is there a good community still? I just see random people here and there. I have talked to a few and tried to make time to go out and do a session with them. Other than that, I don't see a lot of people around, I am hoping to meet random people who knows others that have private cabs where they do parties in the garage. I've known people back at home that did those types of events.

The Boomers in Clairemont has the only decent machine that I have experienced, their Max2 screen is still out. Parkway Plaza, the machines are downhill now, there was an really good extreme in Tilt and I went there about a week ago and the pads were trashed, which was disappointing. Then there's that one in the Regal area, which is...okay. The Boomers in El Cajon was bad unless they fixed it, I went to that one about thanksgiving/Christmas time.

I've been to nickel city and yeah, there was someone just recording themselves the entire time there. I'm not really a big fan of ITG and I can't really sure why.

I am going to LA this weekend, so I hope to find some good arcades to play at.
