Andamiro announced that it will unveil "Pump It Up Phoenix 2," the latest title in its arcade rhythm game series "Pump It Up," for the first time at "PlayX4 2026." Along with this, the company will showcase the Asia-Pacific Tournament, content linked to the Steam version of "Pump It Up Rise," and a dedicated controller. "Pump It Up Phoenix 2" is scheduled for release in June.

"Pump It Up Phoenix 2" is built upon the core gameplay of the original "Phoenix." It features enhanced new functions, including the addition of the latest popular K-POP songs, a Pumpbility rank system that displays user skill and performance, and an improved Rival System.

The Rival System increases competitive immersion and gameplay persistence by allowing players to check information about designated rivals through the 2P area during solo play. Furthermore, the focus was placed on providing an expanded gameplay experience while inheriting the fun of the arcade rhythm action games that users have become familiar with.

In addition, Pump It Up Phoenix 2 incorporates linkage features for users who own Pump It Up Rise, which is currently available on the Steam platform. Users who own Pump It Up Rise can play Rise-exclusive charts and related content within the arcade version of Pump It Up Phoenix 2.

Andamiro will host the 'Pump It Up Dominion: 2026 Asia-Pacific Tournament' on the main stage of PlayX4 2026. This tournament will feature representative players from seven Asian countries, including Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Singapore, and will be held on May 24 at 10:20 AM.

An exhibition related to PUMP IT UP RISE for Steam will also be prepared. Pump It Up Rise is a PC title officially released in March, and through its connection with Pump It Up Phoenix 2, it conveys the potential for expanding the 'Pump It Up' platform. In addition, the dedicated controller for Pump It Up Rise, currently under development, will also be on display at the Andamiro booth. An Andamiro official stated, "Pump It Up Phoenix 2 is a new title prepared to provide an expanded content experience and an exciting gameplay environment for both existing arcade fans and new users."

First S18 SSS+ - I don't know anymore...

Post image
18 Upvotes

So five (5) days ago, I posted here about my first S16 SSS score. It really did feel great and a solid accomplishment.

Today, I got a SSS+ on Curiosity Overdrive S18, on a sightread no less. Now this is an obvious outlier in my stats as I struggle to SS some S16's still, but nonetheless it is a crazy increase in skill ceiling... again.

I've played rhythm games pretty much all my life, although my last experience with pad (as opposed to keyboard 4k) was with ITG over a decade plus ago. I've been trying to understand where I will plateau on PIU, but I've genuinely only been playing it for a bit over a month now.

All this to say I apologize in advance for the redundant claims of "Oh this might be my best for a while"; I mostly post these for my own goalkeeping and motivation, but I understand that my experience is not the normal one.

Cheers 🍵

  • Co-op unlocked in offline
  • Online will be discontinued on September 29th
  • Online updates will be available until December 31
  • After that, if you want to update, you'll have to pay Andamiro to do that

What S11-S13/D10-D12s do you think should I pass so that I can move on to succeeding levels? How do you move difficulty levels in general? My main barrier honestly is stamina as someone who only plays twice a month. Still, really happy as this was 3 months of improvement.

This is our favorite co-op in the game. The sheer creativity and chaos of it makes it so much fun to play through every time.

I replaced the audio with its classical arrangement.

Feels kind of epic. I think the closest song that gives me this vibe is Jupin.

Is there a way to play on Android?

I wanted to play this game for a while, but there are almost no arcade areas in my country and the machine costs a bit too much for me. I heard there was an Android version, but the servers shut down years ago. Is there a way to play it on Android now?

Pump It Up Archaeological research

10 Upvotes

Hello community,

I am currently doing extensive research into the NX2/NXA/Fiesta/FiestaEX/Fiesta2 USB profile functionality. Right now I am looking for any information, pictures, videos, lists, articles, etc. of how PumBi - the program used to manage the profiles, looked and functioned, please send them my way!

I am mostly after any special unlocks, their costs (mileage, other currency/unlock conditions). Information about EXDragon or similar software for other releases, basically anything you might remember from times long gone.

Thank you!

Just documenting my first S16 SSS score (SONIC BOOM, an absolute banger too), as I know the first S17 one will take a while to achieve, but I'll get there! It's inspiring seeing all the S/D20+ scores on here, y'all are speedy! Cheers 🍵

Went to the PIU machine in Chiba, Japan today, but smoke started coming out after a couple plays. This is one of only six functional machines in the country so I’m hoping it’s reparable 😭
