I have been sitting on two press releases for upcoming rhythm arcade title, ReRave by Step Evolution and Coast-To-Coast Entertainment. Not because I wanted to but it’s been crunch time for me at the arcade and today in fact we are closed and will be moving machines. That’s another story but I’ve been so busy with that it led to me having little time to update the site with a new story. I guess I can let these press releases speak for themselves but a little prelude. ReRave Arcade is a new touchscreen music title that is available this month for purchase in North America. I got some hands-on time with it at IAAPA and I thought it was an enjoyable game, easy to get into. There was a lot of excitement surrounding the game at the show and it’s been enough to go overseas. The first press release deals with the game heading to the Phillpines ; the second is for the appearance of ReRave next week in London at EAG. Bandai Namco Europe will be showing off the game there. I’m not sure what else will be at EAG next week, I’ve been waiting to hear more on that front but at least we are sure of this particular game being there.

Sayreville, New Jersey: Coast to Coast Entertainment, LLC, manufacturers of today’s most innovative video, crane and redemption amusement games announces an agreement with LAI/ Timezone for the exclusive distribution rights of Rerave Arcade in the territories of Singapore and the Philippines.
About Rerave Arcade:
From the highly experienced game developers at Step Evolution LLC comes “ReRave”. ReRave is already a hit on Apple iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone. This new arcade version, which was a collaborative effort between Step Evolution and Coast To Coast Entertainment is quickly becoming a worldwide hit, just like the iOS version! ReRave combines music rhythm, as well as physical dexterity and accuracy to create a innovative gaming experience that is both fun and challenging for all ages and skill levels. ReRave gameplay breaks the barrier of “old fashioned” scrolling and matching symbol play typically found in music rhythm games with its unique, fun and “revolutionary” game movements. ReRave is the first music “interaction and reaction” based arcade game to feature a huge 46″ multiplayer color touchscreen monitor in a internet-enabled cabinet, combined with a real-time global interactive player ranking network with frequent music and software updates!

been following this for awhile, going to be cool if one day i get to test it out 🙂
This game is pretty decent as a tablet game ,but as a full blown out dedicated arcade game I think it’s got a chance. Going head on against Technika might be a challenge. For the causual music genre fan this might work.
