Right now the current public knowledge is thus:

- BZN's test cabinet originally thought to be returning to Naperville is now in fact going to TGA in Massachusets

- Betson is skeptical about a release because the target of 200 machines (maybe 100?) hasn't been met

Ryan, do you have any official word on where this leaves BZN in regards to a IIDX machine?

If you guys get snubbed I can try to fix up my beatmaniaIII and lend it to you!

Man, what are they gunna do with IIDX over there? That's like...


...


What are they gunna do with it up there?

TGA is actually THE place for Bemani in the States. They have every game, all with the latest version installed.

I'm heading out there at the end of June for Bemanifest, it should be one hell of a trip!

That it will be Chrisy-Poo

Ryan told me himself that GOLD is coming to America, and that it was just an internet rumor saying that the game was not going to come out.

I just hope hes right, because its LONG past February, and its nearing the end of the year.

I also was thinking it may be DJ Troopers, because it the new beatmania game, but KONAMI MAY have to test again because of it, but I dont mind!

Well, back when I posted it wasn't a rumor, it was a very real possibility that IIDX was getting canceled due to a lack of interest. It's good to hear that everything is on track again.

Though, GOLD is going to be less exciting because so many people have the "home version" now . . .
