ノスタルジア -NOSTALGIA- FORTE (AC)

This arcade's title is only giving me one clear message...

I'll remember it, so you don't have to!

Interesting video...the guy playing didn't smile at all. I wonder if he is also a real pianist. This Nostalgia must be completely reminiscent of Keyboardmania, as playing it would probably make one remember how it was like to play that game in the old days. I would suspect piano arrangements of many Konami Originals being created for this game; since this could pretty much be considered the next iteration of KBM, I suspect that some KBM songs could be transplanted into Nostalgia.

Keyboardmania, even for its time, was pretty decent but was plagued by its tough learning curve and by the machine's design itself, which resulted in keys getting broken often. Nostalgia seems to be the polar opposite; the machine's design would less likely result in broken keys, and the learning curve would be beginner friendly.

BUMP FOR A REALLY GOOD REASON:

Nostalgia has a website now: http://p.eagate.573.jp/game/nostalgia/p/event/index.html

I guess that means we can expect location tests soon!!!

---

And it's indeed coming soon!

Running from the 22nd to the 31st.

OMG! This is soooooo exciting! I can feel the hype rushing through my body!

Finally nice to hear more news on this game. It's been five months since it was announced.

Location test songlist, in one convenient video:

Two songs that were present at JAEPO (Scorpion Fire and the original song from Nekomata Master) are mysteriously absent.

Nope, the Nekomata Master new song is still in the loc test (maybe as a secret song)

Also it seems they change the keys and the cabinet compared to the JAEPO cab

The JAEPO cabinet for comparations

Ah, I just thought it wasn't there because the post indicates that I was an unlock and so I figured that would be the only song to unlock.

Just when we thought this game wasn't going to have Vocaloid songs or anything like that...(sigh)

At least it's a cover. Fingers crossed that it'll be sung by ALT like the FutureTomTom covers of Vocaloid hits.

---

I'm looking forward to how Alstromeria plays!
I wonder if this game would come to us in the United States?

---

Wait, that was a thing? And don't quote me on this, but if my Japanese is right it's a karaoke version.

Two more secret songs:
morning music / Bubble System
nostos / Setaria Virtuoso

ルカルカ★ナイトフィーバー and メルト from Vocaloid were both in FTT, but since seiya-murai was, like, sound director or something of the game series, they were covers sung by the beloved A.I. angel (|[>U<]|)

A karaoke version of the Vocaloid song in this game is fine too in my book

---

Do we know if the Für Elise arrange is the same one that was in KEYBOARDMANIA 3rd?

---

I guess you took that from the music comment below the song title, right? It says something like "A popular song from the Internet and karaokes".

---

Then there is a chance it'll be a cover maybe sung by ALT! I'm hyped to find out!

---

I sure did. I only realized that it just meant "a popular karaoke song" after posting it, d'oh.

A new location test started, and they brought back an old song:


It's seems there's a possibility to more songs from keyboardmania makes an appereance to Nostalgia

Aw, man, I had a feeling maybe Midori no Kaze would have its crossover into this game...and here it is! Wow, I must be some kind of psychic wizard.

---

It's honestly rather exciting that they've remembered Naya~n exists
