[AC0 Asia] May We Interest You in a NEW Arcade Business Venture, Greater Asia?

I don't think we need to do an elaborate separate post about how the three songs soon getting axed in the Japan March 2020/Nijiiro ver. cabinet is also taking leave from Green ver. 2.0 (Asia). We will link to the relevant Facebook announcement for those who want to express their feelings there.

Instead, there is a business venture that I think a lot of you across greater Asia might be interested in. Can I book you in for an online presentation seminar this Friday, September 4 2020?


No, no, it's not some shady MLM spiel. Bandai Namco Amusement (i.e. the arcade business arm) recently put up a simple page (in both English and traditional Chinese) onto its website mentioning a "New Asian Version" (新アジア版) for Taiko no Tatsujin, with Don-chan and Kat-chan in their Nijiiro ver. garbs at the bottom. Curiously, this is neither directly nor indirectly linked from the BN Amusement homepage...

With no concrete information about the product, the page currently only mentions an online presentation at the above date starting 13:00 (JPT). Interested operators appear to have a chance to discuss with BN Amusement's sales representatives starting from 14:00 after the presentation.

Thanks to Nekomimi from the Taiko no Tatsujin Discord for the find!
