Today is the official release of the new PIU arcade machine called Pump It Up Next Xenesis (NX2). No one expected this. Many people thought that Andamiro will continue with the “one country sees the game first”. This we thought that it would be hosted by Mexico but it did not happen. The game was released earlier than we thought and it was released for the whole world at the same time.

Some songs from PIU Pro will be available, one of them is ZigZag’s Energizer (I wonder if the BGA flowers will be there too^_~).

Also there is the possiblity to use your memory card. You can see how many calories you’ve burned and such^_~.

The default noteskin is different. Now it is really blue and red.

Today I was going through PPAllstars VCDs and I came across this routine which I actually like so I just took a video of it. I messed up twice the same thing but anyway I think it’s not that bad anyway^_^.

This time it’s the whole routine not just the half of it.

PIU NX2 Demo was held in Seoul, Sinchom Area at Enter Arcade which is owned by Andamiro itself. People got the chance to try the beta version of the new Pump. There will be New Tunes and some favorite songs revivals. Harder missions are promised.

Some Korean people let out some of the information regarding the songlist but these people were caught by Andamiro and taken to Andamiro meeting. People aren’t supposed to spread the information about this new game.

In two weeks time this machine should be 100% complete and shown in Mexico (were the premiere of PIU NX was held last year).
I guess that when the machine gets to Mexico, we will finally get the expected information. The game itself will be released later for commercial use (maybe January?).

The rumored name of the new machine is 2NEXT or NX2

Also the grading is supposed to be more strict. I’m not sure if they will change the timing windows or just the grading scale.

It consists of the exercise program itself, a dance pad and a motion sensor belt. A person can choose what kind of movements he wants to do for example yoga or martial arts. After the selection the person just follows the “notes” on the screen and performs the predefined moves (at the right time). The belt calculates the score and calories burned so the game keeps you post it on your calories burned and if you are the best at this kind of exercise. Could be fun don’t you think?

You won’t believe it. I was just looking for Join the party CZ stepchart so I could show it to my boyfriend and you know what I found?

I found out that in a city named Rybnik (pond^_^) there is one Shopping Center with the (in)famous Fantasy Park (FP). FP usually has at least one music game machine so I wondered if there is one there in Rybnik. And you know what? Last week a PIU NX machine in GX could be found there!

It feels like one big joke…

Actually the machine is there for like a half a year but anyway…I gotta go there and see for myself.

I took this photo of DDR Extreme machine at Megazone, Oslo last year.

A friend of mine built two PIU pads and the only thing he needed then were the PIU decals so I decided to made them. I have to say that they look cool. I couldn’t believe how well it looked. So if anyone interested you may ask me for them^_~.
