maimai DX

maimai DX

What is the front-loading washing machine looking arcade game called maimai? Early advertisements and promo materials had different joke catchphrases sprinkled in, such as "It's not a washing machine!" and "No water." At its first deployment test, maimai had "NO WASHING" written on its cabinet.

Various notes appear on the circular touchscreen. Tap, hold, or slide on the touchscreen or buttons in time with the music. 5 types of timing judgments range from 'Miss' to 'Critical Perfect' and indicate if they are 'Late' or 'Early'. In-game settings allow display customization for player preference.

The types of notes in the game include:

• Tap: A pink ring that needs a tap at the screen edge.

• Hold: A pink hexagonal bar requires holding for full length. Releasing early or midway lowers score/accuracy, resulting in 'Fast/Late Perfect', 'Great', or 'Good' rating.

• Slide: A star followed by a path. The player must tap the star and then trace along the path.

• Paired: Combination of tap, hold or slide notes; colored yellow for simultaneous taps.

• Touch: A blue note (yellow with multiple notes) in screen center needs a tap when arrows close in.

• Touch Hold: A multicolored note in the middle of the screen that requires holding for the entire length.

• Break: A red-yellow ring/star, requires tap for bonus score/accuracy. Needs 'Critical Perfect' for full note score. Breaks can pair with normal Pair note or another Break note. As of maimai DX FESTiVAL, new songs can also include Hold and Slide paths that are Break notes, carrying extra accuracy.

• EX: Non-Touch/Slide path notes (including break notes) that glow brighter than other notes. Any non-'miss' judgment is a 'Critical Perfect', unless it is an EX Hold note that has been released early, which results in lower accuracy as per usual.

Many players wear gloves for better button control, smoother screen sliding, and reduced friction injuries at higher difficulty levels.

Initial D the Arcade

Initial D the Arcade

Initial D The Arcade is a 2021 arcade racing game based on the Initial D series. Despite not being a part of the Arcade Stage series, it is the tenth Initial D arcade game. The game uses Unreal Engine 4, as opposed to earlier titles that used proprietary game engines.

In contrast to the Arcade Stage games' prior one-on-one experience, Initial D The Arcade allows up to four players to race at the same time. There are still one-on-one battles available; many of them referenced in the story. In addition, the game was the first to use a new avatar model rather than keeping the ones from Arcade Stage 4 to Arcade Stage Zero.

Game Nest Arcade in Las Vegas, NV is one of the first in the United States to obtain the newest version of Initial D The Arcade. There are the set of four in order to experience all that the game has to offer. The community often holds tournaments as well for Initial D The Arcade so follow Game Nest’s social media for all the latest updates.

Bishi Bashi

Game Nest has two arcades from the Bish Bashi series: The★BishiBashi  and BishiBashi Channel. All games in the series comprise playing through a wide variety of competitive minigames against other players. The★BishiBashi uses the yellow button (start button) in most mini-games to finish the mini-game before time runs out or to score additional points. The arcade game controls are very simple; each player has a red, green and blue button, positioned left, center and right respectively. Each minigame explains its controls before play commences. BishiBashi Channel replaces the green button with a larger one that can be rotated, and some mini-games require players to rotate this button.

Bishi Bashi is a great game to play against your friends, and the silly mini games will make you want to keep going to find out other games it has in store.
