WACCA Reverse (aluminum can) cabinet overview and inspection

This game deserved a better end than it got. Much like CROSSxBEATS before it, WACCA was a third-party game on SEGA hardware, and only lasted a few years before getting canned. While it's not the only capacitive touch game, nor the only circle game on the market, it is different enough to be uniquely enjoyable. Gameplay is good, music is good, theming is good, very approachable. Really nothing much about the game I'd really say I don't like!
This game got a lot of attention in overseas markets (USA), but they didn't bother finishing a proper English translation, and they made player accounts region mutually exclusive. Not the greatest decisions IMO, though with the latter, there could be other factors I don't know about. It's just a shame, since according to the demographics on the WebUI, they didn't really pay much attention to the market that was getting the most use out of the game.
At the very least, there's a good offline version of the game deployed so that these cabs can still see use in arcades today.

I don’t know how you did it but in the span of a week you’ve gotten me addicted to these kinds of “cab unboxings”

[@manamaster_]

I hope to eventually get one of these one day!

[@therpi720]

Hope hard

[@mistaecco]

Fantastic! As someone currently on your shipping list for wacca, I'm gonna be studying every frame of this one to be as ready as I can be when the day comes.

WACCA is offline now.

[@cowgba]

Oh wow, only 300 cabs in Japan is a lot lower than I expected. Admittedly I don't know what the typical numbers are for other more niche rhythm games, but I definitely would have guessed higher than that.

Great video man. It's a shame companies like Marvelous and Capcom have to negotiate with Sega because no one else will even consider leasing network service. (and Sega while they agree to it, has no incentive to make a deal that doesn't benefit them long term). Glad to see the reproduction LED boards are being tackled so early on by several people. Some info for you: 239 songs in the offline version total Apparently Taiwan or Singapore region can set the game to 4 songs/credit, even in offline mode Navigator is also random, but much more restricted (Elizabeth, Lilly, Luin or Demon Luin) so it can feel like it doesn't vary as much

This is so cool, I really miss this game. thanks for showing this off!

KZbin being youtube showed me this video on my timeline and being a wacca fan I watched it though I think I've watched it before. Anyway... I learned a good amount of fun facts and finally what that rectangle with the arrows meant. In the market of replacing those failing panels is it only first party replacements sourced for yahoo auction and such when parts show up? Or have people found reproded any of the boards? (EDIT: Later you showed them. This answers that question.) Funny that you boot the cab up to play and you get awakened luin. Nice that in the offline one like mentioned in the video it'll give you a random profile, banner and navigator. While in previous versions guest just gave you no profile/banner and (normal) luin. At least on the cab I tend to play on. It cycles between luin and lily mostly. Sometimes Elizabeth and every so often awakened luin. I really enjoy the range of music that was left in the full offline version. Which is surprising. Chunithm and MaiMai... Well at least lost paradaise offline has a good amount of songs if not all original. But man offline maimai is just depressing. Anime pop is now just Azurlane µ and a hololive song. Though there is also Marine's cover of a Touhou song which is nice. Ah that you got awakened twice. Not sure if that is just a good chance or if there was a setting to only have them.

I want that WACCA lol

[@GameSaru]

You know what to do

[@JogosMofados]

Nice, is the offline version covering all available songs? Can any cab turned to work offline? Or is there a server that can be installed home?

[@GameSaru]

Offline removes all licenses. Final version enables offline and does it

[@HiLordReilo]

One question bugs me for a long time: does console uses touch sensors, buttons or some sort of pressure sensors?

[@GameSaru]

Capacitive touch

[@pachifever6532]

Is there any hope that any of the online songs will be eventually made available somehow on the offline mode or are they gone forever?

[@GameSaru]

Can't really comment on that. All I can really say is that there is a very strong and positive community that keeps these things alive.

[@splugereport]

Wait they won't release the dongle? Even though they are done supporting the game?

[@GameSaru]

Hm? Most cabs come with the dongle now
