Of all places, why Anime Expo?! That is the last place you want to hold a test! You expect people to pay $25 at least just to try out the game? I don't think so!
Bring it to Arcade Infinity! You will get lots of people to go there! Now, that's a location!

It makes alot of sense to premier the game at an anime convention. The convention will be made up of thousands of people from all over the states who are the exact target audience for the game. They can reach more people within a day at the convention than probably a month at any arcade. I think its a really smart move!
The thing is that not all game fans are manga/anime fans and not all manga/anime fans are game fans. Many game fans will think, "This isn't Halloween you know," towards the con attendees or to the cosplayers rather and that's your kicker. That's why I don't like this move at all.
quote:
yeah, it's a captive audience with lots of pass-through. Personally I wish they would do it somewhere I would actually go, but more than that I wish it were a different game being location tested in the first place, so there you go!
Exactly. Cons don't do much for me anymore. I went to Anime Expo once to end up having an experience that's way too much of a mixed bag for me, but now these days, I only go to Fanime to see a friend I only see twice a year at most outside of AOL Instant Messenger.
quote:
BTW Folks, just a heads up, you don't need a badge to actually go to the location test. I found out you only need a badge to actually go into the exhibit hall and/or participate in the tournaments. But to go to the location test and just play a few rounds is free to anyone that's willing to make a trek out to Anime Expo this year.
That should make many players happy.
quote:
I forgot... but isn't AX arcade games usually on freeplay? That may make it worth the trip, but it may get kinda crowded if there's only one cab.
Not last year.
