I went to a locke test of the latest work "jubeat saucer" of the BEMANI series which was held in Kobe Sannomiya

"BEMANI series"Music simulation game" jubeat "in which the fourth unusual example is running. Its latest work "Jubeat saucer"ofRoquet testIt will be held at the amusement facility "Argo" in Sannomiya, Kobe from Friday, March 30, 2012 to Sunday, April 1, 2012, so we decided to go to the scene on the first day.

Arrived at Dongmen Street, which is about a 5-minute walk from JR Sannomiya Station. A matrix is ​​already visible from the entrance of the shopping area.


About 20 minutes before the opening of the store, nearly 20 people are making rows even though it is a weekday morning. In addition, it is said that the first person came here from 5:40 early in the morning.


It seems that the shop side assumed a queue, and there was a paper that explained the way of arrangement.


If you write your name in the waiting table, you do not have to keep queuing in the queue so you can play other games in the waiting time.


At the entrance I found a poster "ROKETEST INTERNATIONAL !!" Also, I asked Konami people why this test was held at this place "Because the development base was Kobe." I tried testing in Kobe with dare to remove Tokyo etc. It seems reasons why I wanted to be able to quickly respond to problems and improve games.


People heading inside the store as they open.


There is a crowd of Kuroyama around the enclosure.


The person who was at the head of the column started playing.


There were poles and bars that partition the queue.


As I confirmed with the Konami people, the chassis used in the Roquettest is the same as the current one except that the word "saucer" is attached, the main change is that the number of tracks that can be played is increased by 8 songs It is said that. In addition, Uri of "jubeat saucer" is the point that the songs of other BEMANI series were transplantedBeatmania IIDX"Or"Pop'n music 20 fantasia"It seems that you can play songs such as.


This is a panel containing "saucer" logo. Please note that the design of the enclosure used in this location test and the content of the game are temporary, so it may be different from the time of official announcement.


There is a large caliber speaker at the feet, and the transparent cover in the table is emitting a bass sound which is powerful enough to vibrate and oscillate.


There is a bag on the side of the cabinet, so you can play it without worrying about the weight of the luggage.


The price for the location test is 200 yen per play. Konami's electronic money "PASELIYou can play up to 5 songs with cash, up to 3 songs in cash, and you can play at least 2 songs even if you do not reach the specified score.


Start with Chari and coins.


It is like this where you are actually playing.


The basic rule of the game is that there are 16 panels that emit light according to the sound, so competing scores to be added by tapping at timings.


You can check the state of playing while hitting the panel quickly according to the rhythm of the song in the following movie.

Gigazine reporters also tried the game and tried to sink with Level 4 of "DIAVOLO" as many players who came to the Roquettest and who were close to the beginning of the row and knocked out high points only. The impression of the person who played was "It seems like a mollet fitted to the sound. When you lean on the beat while tapping the panel in accordance with the rhythm, the sense of unity with the song was nothing, I was able to become nori."


There was a questionnaire paper beside the case, and answered contents such as "How do you feel like playing in an amusement facility?" And was put in the collection box.


A person in Konami watching the user.


Even after a while after the opening, the queue continued, and it was supposed to wait in order by filling in the name of the following paper placed in the store.


There are 25 people waiting for the order of play at 10 am.


There is always a crowd around the enclosure and the player, which shows the height of attention.


Regarding the time when it will become available at the game center nationwide, it is "formally undecided". However, there was a story saying "I'd like to start around September or October", so it seems to me that you will be able to play around the end of the summer. In the word, "jubeat" fans keep training from now on, please welcome the time with a perfect system.
