Actually sooner than that as it just says December 2025 (In the report, it's formatted as Dec '25)

Have some footage of the current location test. Still no clue if this will have a language select option (or SDVX-style baked-in translation), but I still can't believe we're just a few short weeks from actually being able to play this in an official capacity!

The song select menu kinda reminds me of Galaxy Wave Delta in that you're encouraged to use the touch screen, but the banners are on the main screen. I have to wonder how this is gonna work on the English version, since a good chunk of the songs/genres are in Japanese. At least the mods menu looks a lot more intuitive and easy to cycle, compared to how it used to be!

Release date in Japan: December 18, 2025


The new cabinet is called "Shiny Pop-kun Model" (ピカピカポップ君モデル), by the way.

i guess that didn't end up happening, does anybody know when/if it'll actually be coming? or any guesses. it seems when they brought the arena model it took around a month. so hopefully this month or next month

I have talked to the head tech at the round 1 near me and last I heard was it was either late this month or in February. Take with a grain of salt, but that's what I know.

Time for another day trip to America...

---

I heard next year. I mean to be fair it just released so we gotta wait since the US is like HUGE

---

oh no, not next year


oh no. not next year

Given that the Gitadora Arena Cabs got in about two months after the expected North American Release date to the location I frequent, I'm gonna believe the tech is right in saying it should show up end of month or next month. Next year sounds absurd.

i literally can’t wait for this!!! i’ve been asking for pop’n music to come to the states for a long time and im super excited about it!!!

---

other people have told me it would be either february or march, and if that ikigai arcade announcement is anything to go off of i wouldn't be surprised. not sure if that gives any more closure. i guess we're closer to the release this time

I heard the first American Round1 it made landfall at was in Utah... Of all the places...

---

not just Utah, some LA locations as well (believe it was moreno valley)

hope it comes 2 the eastcoast as well sooooon

Fun fact: The RGB lighting on the sides and speakers seem to be US-exclusive, so we have the opposite of what happened with the Japanese DDR X cabs when Raw Thrills made the US ones.






So... the game's left untranslated???

Haven't seen it brought up here, but the U-region High Cheers changed "Playable only in Japan" to "North and South America" as well as it has an English UI (song titles and character bios aren't translated though) + so far the only noticeable song removed is テトリス (Tetoris).
