EAG 2010

Not much new from all companies this year.

Highlight of the Konami stand was probably THE BISHIBASHI which is expected to come out in the middle of the year. DDR X and GUITAR HERO ARCADE are also there with not much new in all fairness. GTI Club made another appearance this year. DDR X2 did not make an appearance; neither did anything from the GF&DM, pop'n, IIDX and jubeat series.

DJ MAX TECHNIKA was also present this year. Network support is now enabled for Europe and will work on any DJ MAX TECHNIKA cab.

Other suppliers such as JNC Sales had DDR EXTREME and PIU NXA on show. Crown Direct had a DDR X on show however it seems like they deliberately unhooked the pads to prevent anyone from actually trying it out.

SEGA had a few good offerings such as SEGA RACING CLASSIC, which basically is Daytona USA with better cabinet and screen. They also had TETRIS GIANT which has been in Japan for quite a while. Tons of redemption games there too.

BANDAI NAMCO GAMES were showing games the likes of TANK! TANK! TANK!, H2OVERDRIVE, NIRIN and other redemption games.

Photos coming soon at the end of the day.

Isnt Bishibashi already out?

We got 2 machine linked to e-amuse at our arcade. They've been there for nearly 2 months...

---

UK release? Incidentally I wonder what the UK sales are for Bishi Bashi Special.

---

Did you also take pictures of the redemption games by any chance?

---

A few apparently.


That's because you're in Asia. We don't actually have the newest Bishi Bashi here at all. The one we do have is still the one from the 90s that was on the PlayStation 1.

Tetris Giant has been out in the States for a few months too. They are wanting $8-10k for a cabinet

Cool. It's the first time I've seen them in the UK.

I don't think I'll be able to get the pics uploaded tonight as I only just got back on the PC and got to shower followed by work in the morning tomorrow, so at the earliest the pics will be up by Thursday evening.

The event overall was a bit better than 2009 but not the greatest; as there were no surprise BEMANI games for the most part.

Bump: Pictures uploaded.

The only Bemani games present were 3 DDR cabs each on different stands.

What's with the easy medium hard thing in the screenshot in this photo?

Exactly what we're wondering about.

Maybe you can pick a difficulty in the EU version.

---

The text there is Italian, so it might be in the Italian version only.

UK and France machines do not have that menu.

Well the text in brackets say "only in certain modes".
I'm guessing maybe CPU battle?

Bit late but here are Konami's leaflets:
