Sure!

A meetup group sounds like a great idea!

registered just to let everyone know this is legit

i live in southern cali and the super manager dude players PIU a lot and has been down here helping open up new locations and confirmed that he will be working at the seattle location mostly

Hopefully they take good care of the machines going forward! Both of the DDR machines at the Round One I go to are in not so great condition, but the Pump machines have been okay.

There's an official date now: June 26. Doors open at 10am.

Anyone interested in a meet up on Friday or Saturday?

Thanks for the good news! I've been dreaming of the day that Round 1 would finally open a Seattle location for 4 years now! It has finally come true!

Will they have any TTT2 Unlimited machines there? Is it true that Tekken 7 will be location tested there too?

I actually just heard that the opening has been moved out to July 17th, unfortunately. No public source though (it was from a friend).

Thanks for the update! It would have devastated me to pay for a 4-hour bus ride down to Seattle on Friday only to find the arcade wasn't going to open for about another month!

Yeah, it's sort of frustrating that Round1 isn't being more communicative. I keep learning things from secondary sources. :\

This tweet from Round1 Seattle seems to imply they'll be open at the beginning of July, if not sooner (the tweet itself is about Tekken 7 being around for a limited time at the beginning of July).

Hulk ready to stomp to the beat.  Hulk getting bored running 20 miles per day.

They just deleted the tweet and Facebook post that mentioned Tekken testing in beginning of July. Their other tweet about "piano keys" game coming in mid-July is still there.

So I'm going to assume it's been pushed to opening mid-July.

 

July 17th, Friday, due to construction issues - subject to change

Looks like they did make a Facebook post about the delay to the 17th: https://www.facebook.com/Round1Seattle/posts/1598686720392346

Thanks for the confirmation.

So they announce the opening on Twitter, then change it on Facebook.

Someone needs to prod their social media person and tell them to be more consistent in where they're sharing their information.

According to southcenter mall its on friday : https://twitter.com/westfieldsc/status/616272764132007936

There's a reply on the FB post I linked asking for verification. If it is true (and they have AC), I think I know where I'm going this weekend :B.

Someone working there has stated they've changed the date back to this Friday.

We're opening Friday, but e-amuse services may not be available in time for grand opening. If you wish to play Taiko no Tatsujin, Pump It Up, or pop'n music, this does not affect you. If you're looking to play Sound Voltex, GITADORA, or beatmaniaIIDX exclusively, you might want to wait until shortly after opening once we've connected to the network.

A second confirmation that it's opening tomorrow:

Hurray, always-online DRM on arcade machines. :\

Saw a FB post from R1 themselves indicating an opening time of 2PM.


I thought PopN was also e-amuse only? Unless Round 1 doesn't have a version that requires it? Not that I've paid much attention to it.

pop'n music is Tune Street, which does not require internet.
