Tetote x Connect (テトテⅹコネクト) (AC)

From the makers of Groove Coaster. Basically looks like Dance Evolution with a touch screen interface.

Touch your idols face to face. Hope R1 imports these lol

Well, my location missed out on getting a DanceEvo cab back when it was relevent, so maybe they can try again with this one (hopefully it's like WACCA where there's little to no licensing fees).

We get to see what the game plays like.



I like the BGM. It looks like it would fit for a lighter & less edgy Stepmania 5 theme.

As for the characters, theres only 3 playable partners in the location test.

(Also sorry about the big images. I don't know how to size it down...)

We got the cute & cheerful Dorothy




The cool & sexier Fieru




& the crossdressing male named Yuhata

---

Fieru is Sunset Shimmer's Japanese cousin.

This game looks interesting in that "widget series" vibe.

OMG I want to play this game!

---

So it's basically Osu! but with posing. I'd play it. XD

I can see R1 getting this game by next year.

Location tests will start from June 21 up until June 23.

Miku confirmed.

W H A T A S U R P R I S E !

The game just arrived at MVM; Best way to describe it, now that I've played it, would be if Osu! mingled with ParaParaParadise... and added in waifus/hasbandos.

Reading notes is very tricky because some of them barely give you any time to react, or the notes with a track will move faster than anticipated. Otherwise, it's pretty fun to play. Also helps the interface is in English, and you can adjust your height to better accommodate seeing the notes easier.

What I don't like, however, is that unlocking costume pieces are ridiculously expensive. Also wish that there are more songs to unlock, since the songlist, as it stands, is a tad on the small side (especially considering there's a lot of great Groove Coaster original songs they could easily port over).

This game has potential, and unlike Chunithm, this game is online and will be getting updates (there's going to be a 1.07 update coming out in a few days).

Just tried it out at Round 1 Lakewood, honestly pretty fun! Usually I just go there to play Wangan Midnight (Lilly if you ever wanna race ), but I gave TETOTE X CONNECT a try and it has my attention! First ever rhythym game I played, but I'm glad to be a newbie to the community ^~^

Song removals

Sad to see this go, but I know updates have been kind of scarce lately so I guess the writing was on the wall.

Them having plans to remove songs from an offline game, three years after the game goes under, is insane, though.

First Groove Coaster, and now Tetote?! What a shame Taito seems to be annexing all of it's online rhythm games...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

---

I find it very odd how after they decide to shut down the game they’ll still remove the licensed songs as time goes on, it just feels wrong. If a game like this goes offline and the licensed songs are still on em, they should well, still stay on the game regardless, at least to me.

Just found out today that SQUARE ENIX owns Taito. Well no wonder they are pulling out of the arcade rhythm game scene. Low-key scummy of SQUARE ENIX to do that tbh.


I guess they are removing stuff because licensing.


SQUARE ENIX back at it again proving that they are only good for Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
From what I've seen them pull with GC and TC, they seem to be laser focused on GC's Switch game. It sucks, but hey, it's better than nothing.

---

SINCE WHEN WERE THEY OWNED BY SQUARE ENIX?!

No wonder they always fail, bruh. They're probably focused on AI junk now I'm gonna go up to Square Enix and tell them to not discontinue them for 3 pennies and a rubber ball
