No, I have the opposite reaction; where I think it's pretty awesome that I'm on a pier and playing arcade games. I am also much lighter. heh

Anyone of you guys still come here anymore? I've only recently started frequenting this place again to refresh my PIU skills after many months of not playing seriously.

I just updated the thread again. The DX monitor died and has been replaced with an LCD. Oh well. Machine still works fine. There's one NX2 USB drive left for sale if anyone wants it. Just ask up at the counter.

Talked to the staff here, they're gonna get Fiesta EX.

Is Pump still making them money?  That's awesome!

Probably not as much as they'd like (they did skip upgrading to Fiesta), but they're fans of the piu series, so they like to keep it current when they can. They'll also switch screens with the ocean hunter, which is a much larger vizio tv than the one on the piu machine now.

YES

Probably about 75% of it comes from my pocket

I was just popping in to see if anyone knows if they did ultimately upgrade to Fiesta EX sometime in the last three months.

Still awaiting that glorious day...

Oh my god, PIU is amazing there. The pads were flawless and I had an amazing time doing doubles. Best game I've played in Seattle.

If you ever get the chance, head over to Power Play in Bellevue; they've got PIU Pro 2, and that's where the majority of us hang out sometimes too.

The word from staff here is that upgrading to Fiesta EX is not definite since usage of this machine is declining. So, everyone should come to this place more often! It'll be easier to park nearby once tourist season ends. Pads are in great condition, I don't think the replacement monitor lags at all, and the K-pop tracks are compelling.

I would recommend against them upgrading to fiesta ex right now.  By the time they get the kit, Fiesta EX2 will be out by then (or soon after).

So the arcade can suffer huge financial loses when the machine only causes rapid fan interest for the first 3 months, leaving it to collect dust soon after.

I'm joking, of course. But I would feel bad for the establishment if they invest in something only a handful of people will use for a limited period of time.

I see the SWA manager just joined our forum, too (arcadeboy). Cool!

Fiesta 2 upgrade coming very soon. The little monitor was also replaced with a really big LCD.

Source?  Last thing I heard about this place was that Fiesta EX was "on its way", and that was about a year ago.

I went and asked the owners last night.

What's the statuses and availabilities of their machines these days?  I want to go there for the first time.  Do people play the machines often?

Hulk likes to play there every summer. Hulk hates autumn and winter.
