Those who go to arcades frequently would probably know that the Virtualand@Bugis arcade is pretty popular. They are located at Basement 1 in Bugis Junction. There, games ranging from the music genre, like Jubeat, DrumMania(DM) and GuitarFreaks(GF), to racing, Maximum Tune 3DX and Initial D (3/4/5? I'm not sure what they have currently), shooting, the latest Razing Storm which has the theme of ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION and of course, not forgetting fighting.
As you readers know, I'm quite the fan of the fighting genre, playing games like Street Fighter 4(SF4), Melty Blood(MB) (series), Sugoi! Arcana Heart 2(AH2) and the newest Blazblue(BB) (trailer here). Well, the arcade near the area I stay in, Virtualand, has recently got a cabinet of Blazblue. Unfortunately, the more 'exotic' games like AH2 is only available in Singapore at the (somewhat) newly opened shopping center in Bugis, i.e. Iluma. And note that the arcade there is not run by neither Virtualand nor ZoneX, but a never-before-heard-of operator (at least I've not heard of them), Arcadia.
While SF4 is the easiest out of these games to access, other games like Melty Blood(only at Virtualand@Bugis, Arcadia@Iluma and Lot 1 so I;ve heard) are somewhat rare to find in Singapore..
Well, fortunately for me, the arcade here has a cabinet of BB here and there's not many people playing it (no idea if they're flat out not interested or if it'll take a while) while the 2 SF4 cabinets are frequently occupied...
So, those interested in trying out/training BB, Sembawang's a place to play it. However, if this 'ulu' outlet of Virtualand has the game, I can't help but wonder if Virtualand has a cabinet of BB at every outlet. So far, AMK's and Bishan's Virtualand has them too, though last I saw, AMK's still under repair......
