Why do they get all the really cool stuff that we never get in America... or if we do its always 5 years later..

Dont get my wrong i love japan.. never been there, but its my #1  country to visit if i can ever find the money to afford it, but this just pisses me off.. i know i will never see this in the US..

First i love gundam (if you dont know what it is its a japanese cartoon (anime)) but this just looks so freaking awesome

I love the Bemani series.  I've been saying this for years now.

A list of Bemani arcade games released in the USA:
*Dance Dance Revolution (1.5, USA, Supernova, Supernova 2)
*Guitar Freaks (1st mix only, and may have only been a location test)
*beatmania (as Hip Hop Mania Complete Mix and Complete Mix 2)

The series as released in Japan:
*beatmania (1st, 2nd, 3rd, Complete, 4th, 5th, Complete 2, Club, Dreams Come True, Core Remix, 6th, 7th, The Final)
*Dance Dance Revolution (1st, 2nd, 2nd Link, 3rd, 3rd Plus, 4th, 4th Plus, 5th, DDRMAX, DDRMAX2, Extreme, Supernova, Supernova 2, Solo Bass, Solo 2000, DDR X forthcoming)
*beatmaniaIIDX (1st, Substream, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, IIDXRED, Happy Sky, DistorteD, Gold [loctested in the USA], DJ Troopers, Empress forthcoming)
*beatmaniaIII (6th Append, 7th Append, The Final, and some others)

*pop'n stage
*eeMall (1st and 2nd Avenue) - Not a Bemani game per-se, but goes with pop'n music mostly
*Guitar Freaks (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, V, V2, V3, V4)

*Keyboard Mania (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
*Dance ManiaX (1st, 2nd, 2nd Append J-Paradise)
*Para Para Paradise (1st, 1st Plus, 2nd)
*Toy's March (1st, and supposedly 2nd, though I've never seen either)
*DDR Kids
*Dance 86.4 (I've also never seen one of these other than on Konami's website, but they claim release)
*Jubeat (rumored to be coming to the USA as "youbeat")

I've played all of these except for the last 4 and pop'n stage (though not every version of the others).  I pretty much spent about half my waking hours in arcades when I visited Japan a few years back.

The Japanese also have these nifty combinations of collectable card games with video games.  I've never seen one in the USA.  I'm not sure how well they'd do, but I know some of the major CCGs such as Magic do still enjoy a following.

And of course, then there's the candy cabinets...

[darkomen64]

well heres proof about Toy's march and Dance 86.4 being released



but i  agree japan gets SOOO much more then us.. no wonder US arcades are drying up there isnt anything new being put into them

Japanese arcades are drying up too. Just not way slower and behind the curve of North America.
