I took the liberty of re-encoding the video as a WMV and reduced size and quality to make it a faster download. This should also help out the people who don't want to deal with a RAR.

I'm definitely excited now that I've seen it. It looks like they've finally fixed the interface issues that have always been my only real complaint about Pump in general. I know being able to see and select the difficulties for each song more easily is on most Pump players' wish lists--including mine. And splitting difficulties between the two players is most certainly a long time coming. That seems so obvious that I can't believe it's taken them this long to include it.
But otherwise, it looks like more of what I love about Pump and I can't wait to play! It certainly seems like Freevolt Team is staying true to form in delivering incredible eye candy...and even more incredible engrish!

I'm not sure what the new game has to do with you playing alone. I'm still more than happy to play Exceed 2.Yume_Taira wrote:^_^ I don't have to play alone anymore! Huzzah!!!
But of course this means Ho's gonna have an old machine. Ya think they have upgrade packs for this one? (Relax, I'm kidding.)
According to recent communication I had with Andamiro, the system I have is the newer MK-6 (Exceed/Exceed2 debuted on MK-5). I was told that future upgrades would be released for MK-6 hardware, so I should be able to get onboard if I'm willing to pay the price.
I have not confirmed upgrade availability since this announcement, and I doubt they've released upgrade details just yet anyway. But I don't see anything in Zero that the MK-6 hardware shouldn't be able to do, so a software-only upgrade seems entirely reasonable.

She meant that she can play with someone else on the machine and choose a different difficulty.Ho wrote:I'm not sure what the new game has to do with you playing alone. I'm still more than happy to play Exceed 2.Yume_Taira wrote:^_^ I don't have to play alone anymore! Huzzah!!!

Thanks for the clarification...from both of you. Makes good sense. I think this feature alone will do wonders for helping Pump to gain in popularity by making it more accessible to players of all skill levels.Yume_Taira wrote:Exactly!

Without knowing anything other than what was in the clip, it seems more like something I'd expect to see on a console version than an arcade version. However, I think it would be fun to have some different types of challenges at the arcade. I'm looking forward to seeing what they've cooked up.BakaOrochi wrote:I really want to see how they're going to put out Mission Mode.
Andamiro released the preview video on their website. It's much higher quality than the ones that have been circulating previously...although the file size is pretty beefy at ~36 MB.
