    Default Which Pachislo should I get? thinking Devil May Cry 3

    Hello!
    This is my first post here, and I'm probably about to buy a Pachislo machine to add to my other various coin op machines.

    Looks like pachislos are about twice the price here as they are in the usa but anyway, the ones available here that are in my price range are:
    Battle leaguer
    Spiderman 2
    Mask Rider
    Thunderbirds
    Devil may Cry 3
    Marvel hero's
    Godzilla

    Anyone got any suggestions as to which i should choose?
    I have a video game collection as well, which is why i'm leaning towards devil may cry 3
    Regards,
    James

    Hello, when you say pachislos are twice the price here, are you perhaps from the UK or someplace else??

    (sorry your flag is showing USA at the moment, it can be altered in your User CP if you wish)

    Hi and welcome to PachiTalk!

    A good rule of thumb is to purchase a pachislo with a theme that interests you. Out of your list of machines, the Godzilla and Marvel Heroes has received great reviews. Godzilla was our #1 seller last year and Marvel Heroes is our #1 seller so far this year.

    ohhh, yeah I havnt gone through my profile yet.
    I'm from Adelaide, South Australia

    Outdoorenth,
    thanks for the reply,
    I'm assuming you'd have played them all, how does devil may cry 3 compare to those two? theyre all the same price (about AU$550)
    Really, DMC3 is the one that suits my collection and my own interest, but I'm after something that all my friends will want to play, and they arent all necesarily going to be gamers.
    if i had the option of a bioshock pachislo, thered be no question.. but i dont like my chances.

    ah ok..
    Does anyone have any gameplay videos of marvel heroes? thats the only one I'm looking at that I havnt found.

    also, has anyone played DMC3? I'm after a first hand opinion, It's alot of money and I want to make sure I get the right one.

    Thanks for the welcome

    Congratulations on your first pachislo. I have not had the opportunity to play it, so glad to hear others enjoy it and it's good you went with something that interests you.

    BTW, I was told that Australia didn't allow pachislos through port anymore. Has that changed?

    I hadnt heard that, but if it's true, then I sure hope there are already some beatmania pachislo's that have made it over here..

    there are a couple of small distributors with pachislo's for sale here still though, so it's either a very recent change or theres some way to get them in here..

    no modify post button here? I hope nobody gets cranky over double posts then..

    I just heard from the guy who's selling me mine, and the way he was talking he hasnt heard of any such ban on pachislo imports, I didnt actually ask him, but i asked about beatmania and he said they should start being available as refurbs next year as it typically takes two years after launch before they get sold off second hand. i dont think he'd have said that if he was no longer able to import them..

    Yes next to the 'Quote' button there is an 'Edit' Button that allows you to edit for a short period of time after the post, not sure what the timescale is though...

    Good to hear you can still get them in. We were told last year that we couldn't ship anymore there.

    He just posted explaining that the two year wait is by law, I dont know why, and I'm not sure if that's Australia's law or japan's.. but apparently pachislo's cant be brought here until they're two years old, which explains why the one I'm buying was used for 6 months then put in storage for a year and a half.

    Ah, thank you for the clarification on the law.

    I'm glad you have a good pachi source there.
