Right now, I'm happy to announce that all racing, music and fighting games as of today are functional! (9/26) There are currently no known arcade game outages or issues at the Eastridge location! I would also like to announce that crossbeats.REV is now back online! Turns out, there was a HUGE update for all Round 1 crossbeats machines, so now everything is updated and playable! Additionally, Pump It Up Prime's 1P down-right arrow has been repaired!
PUMP IT UP PRIME 2015 is now Online!
As of yesterday, September 25th, our mechanics team was able to finally put PUMP IT UP PRIME 2015 online! This has been widely anticipated by the Pump It Up community here in Northern California and many players have been very eager to use Pump It Up's online capabilities! I was able to talk to long-time dedicated player, 29-year-old Mark Lee, about the newest Pump it Up update and the benefits of Pump it Up Prime being online!
Sue: So why is having Pump It Up online a huge deal? Does it give any benefits?
Sue: So why is having Pump It Up online a huge deal? Does it give any benefits?
Mark: The fact that Pump It Up Prime is online is huge! It's because, number 1, it will save your scores. Number 2, hardcore players can play Rank Mode for added challenge and competition, and number 3, Pump It Up Prime is actually the first mix of Pump It Up where every single month has a new update. That means every month introduces at least two new songs, more missions for people to play, more charts for people to try, and so, basically, without it being online, you lose a LOT of material.
S: So apparently there is a new update or an event that is going on right now! Can you tell me a little bit more about it?
M: This update (9th update) was a big surprise to all Pump It Up players because it's actually starting to include Japanese songs (because Japan has a completely separate mix of Pump it Up Prime)! And this includes Japanese songs that are very popular and well-known even amongst western audiences including Bad Apple! from Touhou. So people are really stoked about the updates, especially since these updates were so unprecedented! Nobody thought we'd ever get these Japanese songs. The updates are the reason why we will continue to be really excited to have Pump It Up Prime online - any arcade with Pump It Up Prime will have a lot of people asking it to be online.
So there you have it! I hope this encourages Pump It Up players from all over California to come play at Round 1 Eastridge!
