I'm not actually sleeping, although my clock claims it's 5am. I asked him how much shipping would be to my location and I'm waiting for a reply. Chances are he'll reply within the next 4 hours if he keeps a normal sleeping pattern (unlike myself).
Oh man.. I really want this, but like, I have barely any space. I'll have to move the chester drawers out and keep my clothes in the storage room instead of my own. I'm tempted to ask him what stick/buttons it has too, and whether it's restricted to left/right movement, but I think that's just a restrictor that can be removed. I know some Puzzle Bobble cabs are like that at an arcade here.
Apparently Puzzle Bobble 4 isn't all that pricey. 4000 yen.
link. I actually have fond memories of this game, at least the N64 version which I think I still have somewhere. If it's not too hard to rotate I'll most definitely have to get Batsugun again, that game was really fun. Hmm, I don't want to end up like lukemorse1 though, I'd rather just have a select few PCBs and that's it. I'm more likely to play them that way.
Anyway yeah I'll most likely get this if everything goes according to plan, in NZ you'll see Japanese style cabs but almost never for sale, and when they are, they look like this:
I have fond memories of playing this very game on a cab exactly like this, but I'd rather not own one personally.
