I've waited patiently, way too long, for Beatmaina to get a US release. If it weren't for the hefty price tag associated with importing it, I would have gotten it long ago. Only 14 days left until I can finally have a little turntable in my hands. I don't even know how to explain how desperately I want this game.
It all started at a Warped Tour in 1999 (maybe 2000). My friend Nick and I happened into an out-of-the-way gaming tent with some free arcade machines. There it was, nestled in back; Beatmania. I played over and over, even opting to skip some of the bands I went to see. $45 to spend most of my day playing a video game? Doesn't matter when something is that good. I even had a little competition going. I kept returning to see my high score beaten by the same person, to which I replied with an even higher score. This continued all day until I talked my friend into going back for one last round. There he was, my mysterious nemesis. We played a few rounds, and I'm happy to say that I wiped the floor with him. For the next few years, I searched every Warped Tour in hopes of coming across another machine, but to no avail.
Soon enough.
