This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. D&B is actually testing Maximum Tune 5. Pic is linked below. Location is in Woburn, MA btw.

Looks like a seller on eBay has up for sale a used Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune dual cabinet.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/182564696029?redirect=mobile

I've played on that specific cabinet over 10 years ago. Didn't know the guy still kept it after all this time. The cabinet use to be in our local arcade and was purchased when the arcade cleared up some space for newer games.

Oh damn. Hopefully that means it becomes more widespread in NA.

I might check my local D&B to see if they have it, but even if they do I'm still using my local Golfland to play the game. I'm not sure how quick they're rolling MT5 out here.

Edit: Just checked D&B in Roseville, CA and they dont have it. I figured, since Roseville isn't a very populated place and the nearby Golfland already has MT5.

I spoke with multiple a D&B locations and they said they wont know if the game arrives untill a week before they ship it. They get their new games at the time school is over as a summer program to see how well it does and if they will keep it. Odd though since the WMMT5 originally came out in Dec, 2013. If anything they should be getting 5dx+

Does the American version of 5DX even exist yet? I really have no idea why we get our own version that's two updates behind and not just join the international versions instead.

So they can prolong the game and gradually update it rather than have all the content of international server and people lose interest

So far it looks like west coast is very, very active, the players in most of the other states need to commute to their local arcades that have the game because of the low density of arcades with MT5 elsewhere. South eastern US is very sad. Currently two known Bulldog VS Aura holders with a few more likely popping up soon.

Canada also need some love especially since the only locals that have the game are at both ends of the county.

Is 5dx and 5dx+ plus an upgrade to the cabinet that needs the update to be pushed or an actual whole new cabinet that needs to be swapped out? Or maybe exchanged motherboards to keep using the cabinet?

It's just an update I believe, otherwise it'd be more difficult to distribute the games if they were separate cabinets. Not sure about the hardware but they seem to only change on major new games

I might be wrong, don't take my word for it

Minor hardware update I believe, since the game does change from ES1 to ES3 from 4/5 to 5DX.

Yes, they will just update the software version from MT5 to 5DX+ in the future. theres no need to change the whole cabinet just like International version. The only changes on the cabinet will be the banner & the LED colour lightings based on the colour theme such as now MT5 is yellow next update to 5DX is purple lighting...

What other location in the Southeast has it besides Georgia?
Texas is considered Southwestern US.

Atlanta has maybe 100 registered cars, 20 are full tuned, of those, 9 are in the B rankings and 1 A ranking. 2 battle auras, one 1st Hawk and one 2nd Hawk.
But hey, we have 8 cabinets that rack in a lot of plays from guests.

Hey guys,
For WMMT 5, are we not able to play against players online live? Is it just battling uploaded ghost of players from in our region and Japan?

No live online battle (yet hopefully). And you can only battle ghosts from the North America server, can't battle International or Japan ghosts (unless Japan Challenge).

So, from what I've heard, the D&B Location Tests for WMMT5 are over. (At least Woburn, San Diego still seems to be going on) All we do now, is wait.

Another update, it seems that the cabinets at San Diego are going to be removed. Though, some people are already saying the test was a failure and D&B won't get the game. I'm skeptical of those people. I'll only believe what the officials say. I just hope to god that the test wasn't a failure.

Damn that sucks... I really wish the game is main stream but not many people either know about it or can't afford it... but yeah hopefully they don't remove the game sad.gif
