Comment: The pads are not very sensitive, but worked enough to clear a 16. R.I.P. Dodgems DDR, you will not be missed even slightly

Comment: From what I can tell there are no card readers, meaning you can get new cards but you can't use them. I have no explanation for this because it's really weird.

Jurassic Park Arcade (2015) (International)
Location: Left side, against the dodgems railing on the right
Comment: The motion doesn't work and it has a 'Motion Stopped' message that doesn't leave through your whole play time. They have the volume pretty low, so it's quite hard to hear what's happening over the other games. Also the guy did come and recalibrate it for us, but the guns completely stopped working the first time we tried to play.

they really shuffled the place around, looks like they have a big chunk of the side cleared out for something-or-other? DDR being in a quieter spot is nice but they pushed the pads way up against the screen to fit it so lol equivalent exchange. no idea how it plays i came in to use the gacha and was simply incredulous enough at them finally moving it at all to go looking

At least they finally moved Hungry Hungry Hippos lol

me pad-missing through my whole set to the sound of the loud as fuck dodgems starting siren like "at least it has the touhou folder tho"

i love not being able to my rhythem game instead i love hearing the dodgems
TOPHERTHEPB1 month agoTOPHERTHEPB
They can't even work out how to change the volume lol the staff know very little about the games they have
juneibyou1 month agojuneibyou
yeah lolll. at this point i spend less time playing it and more time partaking in the rite of passage of walking in to see if it's still on hokey 2021 datecode A and walking out. i actually tried emailing once around when the A20+ kits were coming out and never got through lol. judging by the general state of it i doubt they care much

That one is borderline unplayable at this point. You literally can't hear anything over the dodgems. It's also getting pretty unsensitive I've noticed

this DDR cab is what got me into the game and now i just look at it like a bitter ex every time i walk past it to gan to HMV or something. i'm too spoiled by all the other cabs i've played where i can do things like "play even remotely new songs" or "hear the music in a rhythm game". then i remember they nuked the touhou folder in euro A20+ and i relapse

Namco has not confirmed that they’ll be upgrading all cabs after the location test. This info is false.

lots of places to eat in this mall too. Free parking, a good day trip for some DDRA
