Thank you!

Love Bust a Groove, along with the Nana-On-Sha games it's the number one reason I could never part with my CRT - emulators and LCDs just can't get the timing right. Shorty a cute. CUTE.

What the fuck was with that sequel, it was garbage. I even got the JAP version with the ending interviews, but it was still shit. I even got good at it (took a while) and it was still shit. I unlocked stuff (took forever) and it was shit. HOW? All the songs in the second one are mediocre!

If I could ban you I would. You sir are an idiot.

THE HEAT IS OOOOON!!!

Got sand in your vagina? Wouldn't want some poor bastard to play an inferior game by mistake. Pic related: it's your favorite character!

Nobody's mad, you have your right to your opinion and all that. You're just objectively wrong, sorry.

Dance Summit 2001 is legitimately garbage though.

Man, this game. I remember playing this back in 98/99 in a gaming house (it's a place where you pay by the hour to play on a console). It was the japanese version (Bust-a-Move), and no one knew how the hell to play the game. I sank a good two hours in before I found that the different music had different rhythms on the blinking bar (I only played Beat's and Gas-O's stages, because they were faster). Once we learned how to play, we even got a small tournament going. I went with Hiro and lost in the final round to a Gas-O.

I also remember renting Bust-a-Move 2 in 2001, and when I went to return the game, the clerk told me: "You know, no one ever rented this game. They don't even know how to play it."

My favorite music is Flying to Your Soul (Robo Z's theme in 1).

*Heat, not Beat. I always confused the guys.

This is so fitting. I got a one stage demo of the game from a magazine as a kid and couldn't figure it out at all, years later I tried to play it on an old epsxe version and still couldn't wrap my head around it (possible sync issue), finally when I came across an copy for decently cheap last year and played it on actual hardware it clicked for me and now I love both games.

Isn't there a practice mode right in the main menu? Christ. I myself remember being completely clueless with the demo, though.

>>3988880
The practice mode shows a bar at the bottom with the timing, which is never present in the game itself. Now tell my 13-year old self in 1998 that every song had a different timing, and I had to look at the blinking bar for the rhythm. It still took me 2 hours to get the hang of it. That's why I said I only played Heat and Gas-O's stages - their songs are pretty fast, so the rhythm was easier to manage. Every other song is slower.

Are you me? yesterday I remembered I loved the hell out of this game and had forgotten all about it.and went on a binge. what the hell.

>>3988906
I WILL NEVER EVER RUN AWAY!!! I'LL BE HERE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!!! I WILL MAKE YOU REALIZE, I'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE. NOW OUR LOVE IS SANCTIFIED. I'M HERE TO BUST THIS GROOVE!

Loved this game
Kinda weirded me out when a Homestuck fanartist I liked dropped Homestuck to make more Bust-A-Grove fanart.

>>3989226
Whelp, looks like they cleaned their deviantart account but not their Bust-A-Groove hentai tumblr.

>>3989225

I rented the first Bust-a-Groove in the late 90s because the art looked dumb and I thought it would be a dumb game I could laugh at and I'd rented most of the other interesting-looking stuff. Goddamn was I wrong. I really miss rhythm games before the Fisher Price toys took the genre over.

I remember playing to the point of knowing every song well enough that you could launch your disruption attack at exactly the right time to fuck up the other guys solo. You either force them to dodge so they can only do 3/4 parts or they eat the hit and only get 2/4.

Got them around the time they released. There were local importers, online stores (NCS, Tronix, BuyRite, etc.), friends, and a toy shop in a Japanese mall/grocery chain.

Damn, this is another PS1 game I played the hell out of that I haven't thought about in awhile (I must have played over 300 PS1 games over the late 90's and early 2000's). Bust a groove was great.

I love some of the older rhythm and dance games of that era. Has anyone tried Cool Cool Toon on Dreamcast? It was made by SNK (?!) and it's fun until they add this weird motion you have to do that I could never understand even with guides and youtube videos:

That game was so weird. It wasn't exactly about rhythm, because sometimes you had four or five inputs and sometimes ten or so and all in the same four beats.
Which is probably why I was actually good at it. I sucked at real rhythm games.

If I'm not mistaken there is a free camera mode or something like that. I remember using it a lot. It was the equivalent of the new Dead or Alive games for me back then. Good times.

Was a fucking god in this game as a kid. Tried it again a couple weeks ago, couldn't get more than a 3 combo
10/10 soundtrack though.

>>3993079

Dance View, yeah. You can create your own routines using each characters animations and control the camera, had a lot of fun with it.

>>3989271

Adds to the charm for me, "You gotta be crazy nigga!" always makes me laugh. Wish there were some patches to put the censored stuff back in, the Jap versions are there of course but I like some of US songs better. It's especially bad with BAG2 which cut out every ending video.
