Groove Coaster: An Overview and Why You Should Play

The fact that I needed to do a lot of work to find good footage for this video should be enough to tell you that this game isn't played as much as the others. With that said, here's another video where I basically talk about why you should play a rhythm game for 7 minutes.

gc is for sure one of my most favourite arcade rhythm games, its easy to learn and hard to master we stan ad libs it rewards keeping in time/ghost tapping

[@twilightexabyte]

God I love the aidlib feature. It’s great when there’s songs I like and I know just when to press to get bonus points even if I’ve never played the chart. It’s always fun seeing where they hide them. Great video by the way, been waiting for this one for a while

[@luigifan4585]

I know exactly what you mean The first time I played Remote Controller once I found out there's a chart for it, I instinctually hit the boosters on parts I felt like mimicking the song on and got like 75% of the hidden notes on my first playthrough

[@petey5009]

Groove Coaster is definitely one of my favorite rhythm games, and one of the most accessible for new players. It's on switch, mobile, and has an arcade cabinet, with a simple input layout and note types. Most people I know who see me play the arcade version can figure out what I'm doing almost instantly. Also side note but 0:59 the newest release is Groove Coaster 4MAX DIAMOND GALAXY, which came out in 2020 (idk why they haven't just released Groove Coaster 5 at this point lol)

[@Mao0039]

Because the gc community was memeing too much and taito must have found out if they make gc5 and like past iteration they'll add an EX at the end which make GC 5EX

[@anticycloner]

Nice take on Groove Coaster btw! Really liking your explaination on this, GC needs more recognition on other rhythm gamers!

[@faereman]

This series is one of my favorite rhythm games for sure, there's just one thing I kinda have a love/hate relationship with, and that's ad-libs. Those are a great idea on paper and when you're a new player, until you realize pretty soon that they're ALL mandatory to get the perfect score of 1 million. And while a lot of them are fun and intuitive to find, a lot of them also aren't that fun and even obscure sometimes, which makes me want to either look them up or use the "visible" item instead of searching for them. Great game nonetheless, just not very "sight-read" friendly if you care about actual Full Chains.

[@Taneuma_563]

It's sad they discontinued the arcade version, and it was really sad when my local Round 1 got rid of the cabinet for it.

[@bkbroiler1697]

Very cool, I've been playing Groove Coaster for quite a long time now and it's good to see the game starting to get the attention it deserves. even if it's through vtubers and sans

[@HProtagVtuber]

[@peachgeek3835]

Glad to see people talk about this game on KZbin! It's really fun and I'm really happy other people enjoy it too, I definitely have a groove coaster addiction lol

[@prplpunk2499]

I'm glad someone is making an effort to make others play more~

[@IPODsify]

Glad I watched this video, I didn't realize ad libs were "hidden notes" I thought it was literal ad libbing like in dj hero or something

[@DracMazoku]

Great video! Groove Coaster has become my #1 rhythm game. I just can't get enough of it. And have spent way too much money on getting all those DLC packs on Switch :( I have yet to try the arcade version, but I wish I could one day!

[@DieselJT]

Groove Coaster is one of my favorite Rhythm Games. Right tafter Taiko no Tatsujin. Unfortunately I have no arcade cabinets anywhere near where I live. 😔 I have been trying to get my hands on one of the arcade controller but they do not seem to be sold anywhere anymore.

[@HyperTeddyBear]

4:28 That guy in the background is absolutely killing it on Dance Dance Revolution.

[@JasonRasmussen]

That's not DDR, and if one has to hold onto the safety bars, you're not playing it right.

[@jackdroen6832]

other than guitar hero, no other rhythm game has captured my attention more than this one. since my first introduction to it during november of last year, i’ve literally played this as many chances as i possibly could. luckily my local round 1 still has the cabinet and i was able to play is almost everyday since then. groove coaster has become one of my favorite games of all time and it’s nice to see that some people give it the attention it deserves. it’s going to suck having it go offline forever on march 31st but offline play will help keep me coming back no matter what. thank you fnweeaboo for making this amazing video about an amazing game.❤️

[@lotus4129]

Thanks for this, I went on a 10-minute search for this game after I played it at my local arcade. This is honestly one of the coolest rhythm games I've played in a while

[@ARDIZsq]

On my first ever trip to a Round 1, I played Project Diva and Groove Coaster. This game was really fun, and having Cruel Angel's Thesis just made it even better in my book. Sad that it was in Vegas, and the closest Round 1 to me is in LA. A city super close to me is JUST getting a Dave and Busters, so MAYBE they'll get a R1 some time in the future? I doubt it, but it'd be AWESOME if they did.

[@mogakizenshin8254]

just got home from my first try in this 😆 i had so much fun!!🔥 my cousin's the one who's supposed to be buying the fun in the arcade but oh well it's my first and it's very worth my time. the track choices are very limited actually. all are vocaloid tracks which i'm not really familiar of a lot but i do know some and i played it. only one cabinet is available (it's an old version i guess, from where i'm located at). so i had this one person who's switching with after every 2 tunes(?). he thought me how to operate it hehe. thankful for him! but srsly i really had fun with this. as a shut in person, i'd like to go out and deal with the crowd and noise for this ✨✨

[@Sam-yp9mk]

Tried my hand at a gc cabinet yesterday after only playing the mobile version, i'm honestly delighted this game has the recognition it deserves

[@user-nb7qb5vp4n]

I'm a Japanese Groove Coaster player, and I was impressed with the video, which is very interesting.

[@FNWeeaboo]

そうですか ありがとうございます

[@Spectei-and-Neraida]

Just got started on playing the game for Android, and honestly glad I decided to get this one and not the Steam version. It's actually really fun, and I plan to get the Undertale music pack soon-ish. Just gotta get good at my Groove Coaster game lol.

[@alibiisntreal]

more banger videos as always, maybe ill try the game again. whats your plans for the next video?

[@FNWeeaboo]

I dunno to be honest. I'm pretty sure I have something that I could do.

[@arantomoyuki]

@@FNWeeaboo maybe try reviewing chunithm or sth next?

[@Michikoiku]

Now that's a cameo if I ever seen one

[@shiro_nekos]

this is really help thankss, kinda confused which version should i get.. dont wanna to spend money with the dead game But i think this is good review

[@miomiomio56]

this game is so unique and i loved it as soon as i tried it out in my local round 1.. so i bought it on stem as soon as i got home i didn't even care, and shortly after i bought the switch version (wai wai party)

[@gravyarts]

o7 the only game i drive 20 miles to play

[@charlibiris]

I love this game I’ve been playing in on and off through the years and just two or three days ago I bought it on my switch and I’m enjoying it a lot. Likewise Tetris effect this game put me in a state of mind that only get to when playing shmups too

[@peepeepoopoo4386]

You sir are underrated

[@thegam3rcube686]

In some countries including my country they called it ‘Rythemvaders’

[@Akkonii_]

Played it at my local arcade out of curiosity with friends, one song and I had withdrawal cause my friends didn’t wanna play it anymore after one go haha

[@katsudon2048]

In the uk there’s a place called arcade club that has groove coaster but it’s in Leeds and it’s too far for me

[@liferejecter7450]

Hello, how do you purchase tracks in this game? It showed no response when i tried to

[@micweeb9333]

hi, I'm new here, just asking have you tried beatsaber if u have is it good? if u haven't do you plan trying beatsaber?

[@thatone_zergling]

first ever Japanese Aracee game I played, full of adrenaline and is super fun. Depends on the song though

[@Kuchito08]

It's sad that GC has stopped getting new updates for the arcade machines now.

[@heardofrvb]

I'm guessing the Steam version doesn't allow mods to add new songs and whatnot

[@MrSamiam08]

Welp, Groove Coaster goes offline forever on March 31 Sad 😢

[@jep6608]

Next: "Why arcade game machines are expensive, and how can manufacturers make it cheaper." Plss Konami, Sega, Bandai, make your machines affordable for arcade centre..

[@FNWeeaboo]

As much as I find that idea interesting I don't think the cost of machines are the issue rather the lack of interest in these types of games in the western market which is an actual topic that I might discuss. Besides, I'd need a good grasp of the entire process of manufacturing and distributing machines if I do want to tackle that subject.

[@darylloraye630]

we hab groove coaster here but i didnt know how to play it

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

played this my first time at Round One an then forgot its name right after oops my friend an I played Megalovania for our first song I have zero clue how I won

[@CyberLink70]

How did the Steam version become irrelevant?

[@kaiverse9568]

I just realized how wasted my tokens are for playing rigged crane games Groove coaster might not reward you tickets but it's sooooo fun and every arcade should have this

[@shuc1337]

Will you be making an overview guide to Taiko no Tatsujin?!

[@FNWeeaboo]

I would like to do an overview of Taiko someday however I don't have a reliable way to access it in the arcades. I know there's a version on Switch but I'd like to cover both versions. Also I'm not that good at Taiko compared to other games so I can't in good conscience cover the game right now.

[@itryen7632]

I played the fuck of this game at gamescom yesterday and my hands still haven't recovered.

[@ArcadeAwesome]

Is the steam version really that bad??

[@izofier5348]

1:12 No No, i have discovered this game through Arcaea collaboration pack :)

[@sailadun6603]

Why you should play iidx Edit, oh but you show cased iidx mmm yummy

[@mitrikgaduk347]

Yeah, those are some huge downsides given how accessible some other games are (like Muse Dash). So if you don't live near a rare Arcade in today's world (or if you don't live in Japan, let's be frank), you'll have to fork over $600 on Switch. By comparison to other offerings, hell, open-source and free-to-play offerings that have custom maps, it's a hard bargain. But if you really enjoy the gameplay, over time you'll probably spend that much money if you keep coming back (especially if you want specific songs in your library). Like if the price point on Switch wasn't so terrible (again, compared to other games in the same genre), I think this'd be a good investment if you really enjoy it, but unless you are in for the long haul, there are other options that have a better business model. But hey, if you play Rhythm Games, you are probably a gacha gamer with a rather large expendable income (given you likely play on mobile anyway).

What’s a tip to get good at rhythm games

[@FNWeeaboo]

Shadow the chart, you can find charts on KZbin and then pretend as if you are playing the game.

[@FLracing597]

[@jgn]

this game has the best reason for stopping updates, they ran out of disc space

[@AegisXIII]

Groove Coaster is my 3rd favorite Rhythm game, Beat Saber in 2nd and SDVX in 1st. I first played it at a Round 1 and loved it ever since. Bad Apple!!! And the Undertale/Deltarune charts were fun and i want to play it again so. Bad.
