Fanime Arcade 2010 Request Thread

[KusanagiShiro]

If you guys could get a hold of it....iDOLM@STER.

Weird request, but what about Free Play arcade?

Weird request, but what about Free Play arcade?

I'd endorse it if it were toward certain times so the con doesn't lose profit. At the same time, being in the arcade, I'm most likely to spend $50 downright there which'll kill my wallet almost immediately. :\

[KusanagiShiro]

This is another odd request, mostly because I'm just so damn old-school...but what about retro arcade games, such as Asteroids, Defender, Space Invaders, DK, Mario Bros. Centipede, Galaga, etc.?

A very very VERY special request is Gradius, the original arcade game. That holds a special place in my heart.

(Side note: I know for sure that XEVIOUS, Salamander (related to Gradius), and Galaga all had anime spinoffs.)

[Xepherian]

I demand a stomp-the-spiders game.

you know, the kid equivalant to DDR?

You mean Spider Stomp?

yes.

that.

all 100 of my dollars go to that, i won't even pay my share of the hotel bill after that game.

I second this notion. From like 1 AM to 5 AM or something like that...lol. But not all of the games obviously...

[abcbadcat]

When will there be a definite list for machines?

Our contract specifically forbids this. Tourneys too.  :-X

[otakuapprentice]

So.......we still haven't seen/heard what games will be available for the arcade; any chance of getting a list up before next week?

I'd love to play Gradius in an arcade cab, but from what I've read, the hardware for it isn't quite built to last. *sigh*
From http://gamestone.co.uk/gradius/games_games.php?system=AC&local=Japan&game=01&page=1

Back in 1985 Konami decided that it was going to try a new state of the art program storage system to replaced ROMs, it was called "Bubble Software".

Other manufacturers had already tried other magnetic media (disk and tape) instead of roms with some success, so Konami decided to make a modified version of their own new G400 BIOS system.

Bubble memory is non volatile electromagnetic writing/readable memory and was thought to be, at its inception, as a direct a quick replacement for floppy disks.

Unfortunately Bubble Memory proved to be extremely susceptible to electromagnetic fields (not great for something in a arcade environment) and were also more quite a bit more expensive than standard ROM based boards. For this reason the project never got beyond its first couple of games. Anyone who still has one of these systems in their possession and still has it working today is incredibly lucky.

You can tell bubble soft games by the startscreen "wait while system heating up", because the Bubble Memory needs to be heated up to between 30-40 degrees to work properly that's why you get the warming up section before the game starts, they even emulated this "warming up" on the Gradius Deluxe Pack on PSX and Saturn.

Question would be, what would you do with all those tickets you'll win?

[otakuapprentice]

So.................................I'm guessing no list for what machines will be at fanime this year?

This.

[Tony]

Sorry guys - sometimes the arcade company doesn't know what they can bring until the last minute. We also asked for the list later than usual... ^^; Hopefully we'll get it before the con. But, we did increase the number of games, and we're hoping you enjoy.  :)
