PIU Pro 2 - Amusement Expo 2010

And it's over. Before few day there was Amusement Expo 2010. You can find there two new machines:

• Pump It Up Pro 2 (more here)
• Pump It Up Fiesta (more here)

Few news from Bemanistyle group:

- PRO2 is still very beta and is being constantly updated. Today only 20 new songs were available with more being added for tomorrow. Song list will be posted tomorrow.
- The projected/advertised release date is April 2010 with both upgrades and dedicated cabinets available.
- The online USB leader boards will not be available at launch and will follow shortly after.
- Gauntlet mode has a battery life bar with about 20? bars. Many of the songs in this mode are not available in the Normal mode list which includes long versions, remixes and new charts. Similar to Courses with multiple songs per selected Gauntlet. I'm disappointed with this mode at the moment as it doesn't seem very interesting, although its far from being complete.
- Progressive mode was not available.
- Routine charts are in the Normal mode listed with the difficulties for Singles and Doubles. Two arrow colours are used; Blue for the left, Red for the right. You will definitely be stepping on each others feet for a while until you get used to the song/chart.
- 3D noteskins are available for both rhythm and classic styles.
- Combo colours have been added, Blue for full superb, green for full perfect.
- A full combo splash has been added.

PIU Pro 2 news

There are info and features of Pump it Up Fiesta and Pump It Up PRO:

• * 80+ new songs are advertised some of which we have seen on the PRO forums.
• * Two new modes, "Routine Mode" sounds like there will finally be couples mode charts! and "challenging Guantlet Mode" not sure what this could be, possibly Battle mode since it was not in the original version..
• * Official USB leaderboards! again another long awaited feature.
