Dance Dance Revolution X, attendu pour la fin d'année dans les gamecenters, était pour la toute première fois en location test au Japon.
La borne d'arcade est complètement refaite et rajeunie. Exit les spots lumineux, place à des néons sur les cotés. Bonjour aussi à l'écran plat LCD (une première dans la série), qui aurait toutefois tendance à faire légèrement "laguer" le jeu.
Voila le report dans un anglais simple, et une photo de la borne.
