I love Initial D hence why I am on this forum and if you are in the North East Coast area you know that it is hard to not only find Initial D machines but also to to find versions higher than arcade stage 4 this arcade is in Dunellen NJ and its one of the few arcades still alive and one of the few with Initial D still in it. From one Initial D hound to another lets not keep Initial D arcade stage a Japan only thing I have been itching to play arcade stage 7 and I am sure some of you are too. P.S. I had no clue what to type before hence the advertising look to it I just copied and pasted Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand) |

About the same time from where I am in NY. In contrast Nanuet is only 5-7 minutes away from me. This post has been edited by joesushi on Nov 27 2014, 06:17 PM | ||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 28 Member No.: 43,716 Joined: May 25th 2014 Location: Update Profile | Also keep in mind that ID8 has limited story mode and no tag mode offline. I think that ID7 would definitely be a better (and CONSIDERABLY cheaper) investment. There may be a few more ID7s popping up in 2015 as well... |

This means you cannot drive the ER34 Rudy :c This post has been edited by dummyinthecity on Nov 26 2014, 09:22 PM |

So far, nobody outside of Asia has gotten network access. SEGA didn't allow it. | ||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 28 Member No.: 43,716 Joined: May 25th 2014 Location: Update Profile | Yeah, it's not as simple as connecting the machine to the internet. SEGA does not allow anyone outside of Asia to use their online services. |

Nagao Fanboy Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,068 Member No.: 36,182 Joined: Aug 27th 2010 Location: The Internet, DUH | For offline machines yeah, it's unfortunate in that regard. I'm curious on why they did this though (considering the things they did in previous versions), even if offline arcades aren't their target market.

Their target market is Asian countries where arcades are relatively more popular than in the US. Or we can even be more specific, Japan-itself where arcades are probably more popular than anywhere else in the world. It's not that Sega does not have these abilities of offline play, they just chose to unlock them later. I agree that it's a stupid move though but the amount of arcades that does not have online is way less than the ones that do from their point of view. My guess is that they haven't even thought of the repercussions these have for offline machines, ironic given that they were more thoughtful in D6. My guess is part of the reason they disallow certain regions is because of the potential time difference of arcade operating hours. It probably doesn't help that some of the machines that are being used overseas are JPN machines, which are not meant to be exported in the first place (even arcades games from 1994 has had that "not for use outside Japan" label on them). Sega isn't below creating region specific servers for a specific country but they also need to have the demand there in the first place. China I believe have their own exclusive servers and have the game translated locally there. These are seperate from the Japanese servers, which are shared with JPN and EXP machines. At least as far as IDAS is concern, the nice thing about online battles is that you're matched up against people who are your skill level (most of the time anyways). D8 screws this up a little bit with since its way easier to purposely stay at a lower matching group but it still works for the most part. You also don't have to worry about whether there's anybody actually playing at the time. Save for circumstances like a new version has been released or arcade's Internet being bad, they'll always be somebody online you can fight.

Nagao Fanboy Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,068 Member No.: 36,182 Joined: Aug 27th 2010 Location: The Internet, DUH | There's probably like a few more over D3, but I don't think much more. D4 removed a lot of courses so they slowly added those back in addition to a few new ones. Usui and Myogi are replaced by new versions while you should have Nagao, Tsubaki Line, Tsukuba and Sadamine as new courses. One course is missing but as someone who's never played the arcade D3, I can't seem to remember what it's called. Personally I've never felt like D7 was short of courses, even not counting the ones that are added later on via updates (Tsuchisaka Snow and Tsukuba Snow). Though maybe other people can answer this better about the specific number of courses. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Nov 29 2014, 10:38 AM |

When's Shomaru? (On topic) 7AAX did have the best offline experience. 6AA comes pretty close. | ||

Back from the dead, baby Group: IDP Admin Posts: 1,327 Member No.: 43,254 Joined: Mar 31st 2014 Location: Singapore | This is how I think about the maps between Ver. 3 and 7AAX. Ver. 3 Myogi = Replaced by Lake Akina as beginner map Ver. 3 Usui = Usui (New Layout, not real still) Real Myogi, new map Akagi Akina Irohazaka Happogahara Tsukuba, new map Nagao, new map Tsubaki Line, new map Sadamine, new map Tsuchisaka Nanamagari, new map Akina Snow That is a total of 6 new maps Shomaru pass, which is Wataru's home course, is now removed. Northern Saitama Alliance home course is now Sadamine |
