おといろは / Otoiroha (AC)

And it will be 5 bucks to play 1 round.

Or maybe we'll get lucky and we can play 5 rounds for 1 dollar.

(People waiting in line would be pissed if that really were the case. XP )

People waiting in line to play OTOIROHA would already make it a bigger success than MUSECA.

Details on Otoiroha from JAEPO are out.
Unfortunately, it's not really like DMX. If anything, it looks more like Sound Voltex; there are four buttons and two vertical sliders.
Screenshots can be found right here.
Interestingly, it also has a headphone jack and the option to upload line-outs directly from the game.

and, according to the screenshots, of course the Nadeshiko Rock song/Rin to shite hana whatever is in this game.

Of course, that means we're going to see FLOWER in it sometime too

Gameplay video (fucking lol of course the person picked FLOWER)

I think there's a federal law in Japan where you have to play FLOWER once a week/month. ;I

Not sure if I see Round1 realistically picking this game up for the US; it looks pretty similar to Sound Voltex if the knobs decided to imitate Tony Hawk and constantly wallride. Don't get me wrong, it has the potential to be fun, but it looks a bit too familiar if we're going by this video.

I can't read this without imagining a BEMANI game themed around skateboarding, thanks

The folks over at BEMANI Daily have a songlist spreadsheet.

Looks like Jubeat and Museca combined, with some SDVX in it.
Not DMX, but more orginal than museca.

CALLED IT

And it's funny how the only BEMANI crossovers so far are Nadeshiko Rock and FLOWER

---

Looks alot like Sound Voltex.. With that Sega game they released. Forgot the name..
Doesn't look like it would be successful to me.

---

sound voltex version 2, basically

---

I feel like this miiight live on if it were a mobile game because it definitely seems portable to phones, but it probably won't last in arcades.

Y'mean Chunithm?

---

Yes! Thank you.

---

Oh really nice but it seems like 【CHUNITHM PLUS】 lol

---

We've gotten a decent amount of hype and a loctest for Nostalgia, but all of nothing for this. What happened?

---

I expect location testing (and hype!) to begin at the end of August.

---

I mean this could have just been scrapped. Like RAP FREAKS. That's always still a possibility,

Seriously, Konami should have just focused on their existing rhythm games instead of inventing these flop ones
