MAGFest 2015

Roll Call, I know there was a thread for this last year but I didn't really want to bump it since it would have looked as if it was the 2014 event, not next year's/month's event.

Booked my flight three days ago, hotel and weekend pass secured, I am actually going to stay there the day before and the day after the event.

Last year's event I met Bolt, Sponge, DJ OMiY, and I passed by Daiz, any other ZIv members coming for the next event? If not, you should. All of you. Except a few. Orpheous Kirby ITG Pit/hamsand Amir

If you don't know what MAGFest is, get educated

Guests this year include:
- Hot Pepper Gaming
- Ninja Sex Party
- Game Grumps
- JonTron
- brentalfloss
- Smooth McGroove
- Yoshihito Yano and Yuu Miyake, who will also be performing music from Katamary Damacy.

Bemani Invasion (now Tokyo Attack!) is confirmed to be going with their entire line-up of BEMANI/rhythm arcade machines, including (but not limited to):

- beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL.
- 2x jubeat saucer fulfill cabs.
- Taiko no Tatsujin 13.
- Pop N' Music Lapistoria (and a Sunny Park I believe).
- DanceDanceRevolution 2014.
- A hybrid DDR/ITG machine playing DDR EXTREME and ITG2/3 on the same machine.
- Pump It Up Infinity (possibly Pump It Up PRIME as this was recently announced, but not confirmed to appear at MAGFest 2015 yet).
- DJ MAX Technika 3.
- Dance Maniax 2nd Mix Append J-Paradise
- Sound Voltex Booth (It is unknown whether they will be bringing their setup for this coming event, unless they have a full blown machine this time around).

Outside of Bemani Invasion's line-up, there are also going to be other arcade owners/companies bringing their own rhythm arcade games to the event. Games such as:

- GF/DM 7thMIX
- KeyboardMania
- beatmania COMPLETE 2ndMIX
- Guitar Hero Arcade
- NeonFM
- More Pop N' Music machines.

If you guys want to see the scope of how big the Game Room is, along with the BEMANI games that were at the previous event, check out my video here:

is there bemani/any music gaming at all? if so im probably going

i would just, you know, check the site, but for whatever reason my school is blocking it as "Web Logs/Personal Pages"

Hhhhh it seems last minute but it doesn't look like the preregistration price was ever any cheaper? o_o

Can you describe the event to someone from Small Con Land? I went to A-kon once but missed half of it because of lines I wasn't used to. :'D

@Papersak: I'll just say it right away, this event is not your typical 'anime + gaming + etc convention', the atmosphere is VERY different from those kinds of conventions. You'll basically be either partying in a hotel room, playing arcade/console/indie games, seeing special guests, interacting with random people, and listening to live music inside a specific stage room and around the convention halls. Plus, this event is pretty much the gathering of a bunch of East Coast BEMANI/rhythm game players I have ever been to so far, and it's really something that draws me to this event every year
