Rhythm Games?!

Does this warrant its own thread? Maybe not? I tried to find one but didn't get any results.
I love rhythm games a lot and if anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear.

I've always wanted to try jubeat. The setup has always seemed like it would be satisfying to play with-- kind of like a launchpad.

Yesterday I had the great opportunity to go to an arcade and play some rhythm games there. It was a first since there are none in my area.

pros

It was really really fun. I would want to go back.
10 dollars for roughly 2 hours of gameplay was worth.

cons

Very loud. I noticed some machines had a headphone jack which would be helpful and if I return I will be prepared.
I can’t read Japanese and that made it hard for some of the machines, especially since I have to navigate the menus on a timer.

games

In order from most to least fun:
1. Groove Coaster: I loved this game. Each beatmap has its own feel and gameplay is super satisfying too.
2. DDR: I’ve played pad stuff very few times but I picked it up pretty quickly while I was there. A lot of fun.
3. Sound Voltex: I had the most trouble with the menus, and nothing really stood out to me. Still a fine game.
4. Project Diva: I dislike that button placement on the machine is not intuitively matched with the beatmap (theres no intuitive way to know where the X button is on the machine, for example).
5. Beatmania: 7 key fits really awkwardly between my fingers and that was a big hindrance to my enjoyment. The DJ spinning is not satisfying enough to not be annoying.

Me and some friends are planning on going to a (different) arcade at some point.
I still want to play the Taiko game, jubeat, and I want to get better at beatmania so that I can actually pass hard songs.

I’ll keep an eye out, but I didnt see it there.
I can see how beatmania would be appealing and definitely want to get better at it. But dedicating that much of my energy doesnt seem like the right move considering I dont own any of these games and would have to spend my limited amount of credits into it.

I played the DS version and thought it was a lot of fun. I've always wanted the Wii version.

it's a lot more rougelike than rhythm
great music

This was my primary issue with the game. I wouldn't call it a rhythm game, more of a.... timed roguelike. Aside from a few boss battles.
Agree on great music.

Anyone play Thumper? If so, was it worth?
