maimai DX BUDDiES (AC) (International)

I can see why... There definitely was more hype in the Los Angeles test, I know this because when I came for the location test, all of the machines were full and I had to at first play with another person. However, it was also pretty early on in the location test period, and a Saturday afternoon, so that might've affected how many people played it. They should've done the East Coast for a location as the recorder for the footage I saw for the Los Angeles test came across the coast to play it, so that must mean there is some demand for it on the other side.

2nd maimai cabinet arrived in D&B Dallas!

maimaiDX confirmed for Amusement Expo

Got a Google notification of all things, apparently maimai dx is now on the Sega amusement website: https://segaarcade.com/games/maimai-dx-twin
It's actually happening?
Edit: Official confirmation of Amusement Expo appearance here: https://segaarcade.com/news/sega-amusements-ignites-us-rhythm-game-scene-with-maimai-dx-at-amusement-expo
Apparently the listing mentionedls annual content updates... Could we be skipping Plus versions? At least we get online.

Gosh I hope this comes to the UK and my local place gets at least a location test, I know some of their games are distributed by sega amusements already so I'm feeling kinda hopeful too.

I submitted an "enquiry request" and got a SEGA Rep's contact, but another local called and they pretty much said what was public (which was nothing), and that after the expo they'll have more info.

I sent an inquiry too but I got 'sorry, not available for EMEA yet, only us and Canada, but this will change in the future' The guy also said 'We know the EMEA has an appetite for maimai' appetite? I have what Banica Conchita has but for more rhythm games lol, I also know this one person in the Kurdish region who LOVES MAIMAI, but they never have a chance to play; no locations nearby lol.

Stickied thread, thanks to recent developments.

Any new info? Since it's April, the amusement expo has definitely ended. For example: Is there a new location test?

Made its rounds on Twitter but Maimai will be 31k + monthly fee for arcades that want it in US, we'll see how many decide to make the investment...
