is the phoenix cab 1 or 2 credits for premium? 1 year agoDrinkMicrowaves
I'm planning on visiting this arcade for the first time soon. Is the rhythm games section usually busy? 2 years agoDeadCake
All online Chunithm cabs in North America and Europe are on the same network. Please don't say that data will be local to the cab only 2 years agoItagirisu
Is there a reason the maimai cab is 1P only? Is it some requirement of using a priv server? 2 years agoItagirisu
Do any of you know what that plush is in the Jubeat cab? What's it called I wanna buy one 2 years agoDeadCake
The owner doesn't update this page actually it's mostly the people who own arcade cabs here. 2 years agoItagirisu
Additional question : do the owners edit this arcade page? I posted that comment with the PS and then I was like "ah shit what if they don't look at it or anything" but before that I saw the "we have moved" ting so I thought "oh they know about this website cool" just wanted clarification I'm dumb sometimes💀💀💀 2 years agoDeadCake
The cab is on 4MAX, the marquee is just not updated 2 years agoItagirisu
Are y'all sure the Groove Coaster is 4Max? It says 3 on the cab
PS : love the little replacement box art for the games you guys have, the shaq fu one was really funny 2 years agoDeadCake

Initial D Zero is now for play. Cards are available up front for a limited time 3 years agospherical
Man am I so glad I live near an arcade with so many cool-ass rhythm games. They recently got a maimai cab and I think you can get Aime cards from them now? 3 years agosespis
place is pretty much a haven for rhythm gamers, just be warned if you come early hours the owner might be in the back of the building and might take a while to come back up front 3 years agospherical
This place is dope lol 4 years agoTDash
My dad and I would visit Game Underground all the time. We became regulars ever since their original (actually underground) location by Worcester Road. We stayed with them even after they moved to the Natick mall, but they had to keep switching locations in the mall and we only visited their final Natick location once. We were devastated when they moved to Waltham, as it was now 30 minutes away instead of 5. We've only visited them once since their Waltham location, and that was when they just moved in so there were barely any games set up at the time. I really miss them, but now that Covid restrictions are slowly being lifted (and I'll be fully vaccinated soon!) I'm excited to see the place be as lively as it was in Natick and I hope that I can visit it again soon! 6 years agoDelve

Forgot to mention in my comment below that this is an awesome spot and the owner deserves props for supporting the rhythm game scene so much. You should definitely come here to support this small mom and pop shop keeping dance games alive in Boston 6 years agojcrowe

I believe they're working on getting a dedicated ITG PC for the SN2 cabinet, so I wouldn't expect it to stay that way for too long.
