Roxor and Andamiro have officially announced their partnership to release their collaborative effort, Pump It Up: In the Groove 2. The official release on the Roxor Games website mentions the new Andamiro cabinets and discusses the returning features, not the least of which is the inclusion of all 71 songs from the original ITG release, and the newer features (such as freeze rolls) and modes (such as Survival). Also, DDR enthusiasts will also recognize a pair of songs in this new release: "Bumble Bee" by Bambee and "Sunshine" (formerly "Follow The Sun") by Triple J.

I knew there was a reason I wasn't in bed 2 hours ago when I should've been.

Now I just have to manage to get up in 4 hours. Ugggggggg.

If anyone wants details on ITG2 from someone who's been beta-testing it, leave questions and I'll try to get to them this weekend. It's a little busy for me, but I'll do what I can. Thanks.

I bet Andamiro makes a pimpin' cabinet. I don't know about the Pump it Up name being attached to In the Groove though, it seems pretty bizarre to me

but hey, you have to give credit where it's due. And that big screen makes me drool

So Roxor is making partnering with Andamiro?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
It will at least keep konami from being complacent and feeding us repetition.

I wish them all the best, Konami, Andamiro, and Roxor. Competition is alway healthy.

If it will keep the 5 arrow style from pump, I have no problem playing it. Now if any arcade around here will get it is another story.

So this is a new ITG mix and not a new PIU mix?

I'm just guessing but I think this means people can buy an old PIU machine ($1,000) and upgrade it to ITG with a pad and kit... I mean if you think about it getting ITG2 spread without those boxor units for DDR machines is going to be extremely hard with the new machines costing $9,999.. so an upgrade for a PIU machine instead of a DDR machine would work since they are reasonably priced unlike DDR cabinets.

A freeze roll is a new type of arrow that looks like a spiky freeze. You have to hit that arrow every 0.3 ms I believe it was.
