Andamiro’s Pump It Up Prime 2 due to ship from January 9
The first batch of Andamiro’s highly anticipated Pump It Up Prime 2 acade dance machines are due to start shipping on January 9, 2017.
Andamiro planned to ship its new LX cabinet, the 15th instalment of the popular and renowned dance series, on December 29, 2016.
However, due to a “big burden” from its factory, shipping of the Prime 2 has been delayed a week.
Some of the most notable features in the new cabinet include the addition of than 100 new songs, simple and easy card login, a “How to Play” introduction for beginners and a new auto velocity mode.
The card login, called AM.Pass, is part of Andamiro’s card login system called AM.Net.
Andamiro also has the PIU Mobile app. AM.PASS and the PIU Mobile app give core players “continuous play” and a chance to earn higher income. The pass and app aim to drive core players back to the game.
Full songs on the Pump It Up cabinet are shown when players login in using a card, USB or input full mode code.
An Andamiro spokesman said the USB login system would be removed from cabinets within the next year.
“We support login by USB and card, but we have plan to remove login by USB system soon,” the spokesman said.
Andamiro will follow up its successful WPF2016 (World Pump Festival), which was held in Bali, Indonesia in July, with an Asian Championship in 2018.
A South American championship will be held at the same time.
Both events will be held using the Prime 2 LX Cabinets.
“We are planning a continental competition first and then a world-wide event,” the Andamiro spokesman said.
