    So we dont have FT yet? Well, I dont mind writing to Bugis' management, but I doubt its gonna make a difference. VF machines have always been more expensive than other games yet they dont generate as much/more revenue as the other games (think KOF series).

    You have their contact details? I'll see what I can do.

    Oh btw, you cant blame singaporeans for being passive about everything, most have been conditioned to act that way after yrs of mind numbing education and 2.5 yrs of brain-washing national service.

    Apathy is pretty much the norm in Singapore.

    Hey Andrew, I've written them but I think the most effective way of getting our point across is to call them and speak to them directly. I've been in Tokyo and Dubai the past few weeks, so haven't had the chance to talk to the people in the arcade, but when I return this Tuesday I'm going to push for that.

    I think there's NO QUESTION they can make money. Can they make money if they buy 20? I don't know. Can they make money if they buy 1 and put in Bugis Junction? Most definitely.

    u have a pt. I think super or funland might have a better chance of getting the game. Besides, if other arcades have, might as well migrate ... en mass! Make the bugis management feel the pinch, if there was ever one....

    Good ideas...how do we contact these arcades? Do you guys have an inside track to one of them? I don't mind migrating, but I do wish they would also get a card reader. Ahh, actually I'll be happy enough with just the game...

    Well, I don't think we have much of an inside track nowadays, but I did manage to find the URLs for two of the bigger (not to mention surviving and successful) arcades around.

    Superbowl Arcade
    Zone X Amusement Centre

    how's the singaporean gang doing?

    so you guys dont have FT yet? aiya... hope something will happen on your side soon la.

    one of our aracdes in macau has FT, but i think they are slightly losing money. (because not too many VFers knows about that location.) maybe you guys can get it off that arcade lol

    I was speaking to a little bird

    topic of conversation goes along the line of

    'gah! i am so sad! no FT

    bird : 'i am training akira now

    'gah i quit..no FT'

    bird ' let me give u a hint...relax'

    'gah, i don't give a shit anymore'

    bird ' lol, i already said..relax *wink*'

    Funland used to be quite consumer oriented, until something .... happened, i think. Not sure what that is. Pity that those with the cash ain't moving.

    As the line on the film "Hitler: Rise of Evil" went, "The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing." sigh...

    If u r thinking of asking bugis arcade
    u can continue

    coz all i know is...Zone X might have plans for FT...
    'might'

    But, i've got my own stuff to worry abt...

    so whether FT makes it or not is the least of my concern atm.

    Cool, but that doesn't mean you can't share what you know to others who DO care...

    SummAh Well-Known Member

    when did I not share?

    stop judging me.
    I might be in a foul mood now due to lack of ciggies..
    but when have I not shared what I know?

    RIght now, I have alot of things to work out ..regardless...if I do find out which arcade has it..danny n urself will be the first person that I will ring.

    Hasn't it always been that way though?

    Thanks

    Ice,

    Don't be bothered by this senseless psychological "wizardry". If an arcade has the game, u can be assured that the guys at gamersquare.com will know it way ahead of anyone in this forum.

    Even if he ain't concerned, why should we be concerned with what he knows and may not wish to reveal. Its his business, isn't it?

    Besides, I'm sure the chaps at gamersquare are already looking. And, they were the first to spot evo at Bedok. Let us not forget that. There are other people looking out there, not just him... or for that matter, you. Let us try not to kill each other, before the game is found in singapore. -_-

    I think you guys probably took my post the wrong way. I'm excited, that's all, and just wanted to know what's out there. I interpreted Summah's post as if he knows something is definitely coming, and I would have preferred he just say where and when it's coming, instead of just that he knows it's coming. Do you guys know what I mean? /versus/images/graemlins/confused.gif

    Then Freddy clarified he didn't know yet, which would explain why he didn't post it in the first place, and when he did know, he posted.

    Sorry guys! Didn't mean to sound like a jerk!!!! Dui bu qi!

    But the most important thing is...FT is coming!! No need for us to quit! Hooray! I can stop the full press campaign with TKA world now...

    look, what i am abt to ask u to do is kinda 'asshole-ish'

    but, can u don't take the foot off the TKA campaign?

    I'm thinking of the ' oh you know what? it's gonna be delayed'

    or

    'we decided it's not profitable..so..'
    scenarios..

    kinda like..asking u to buy an insurance policy maybe? kekeke

    Come on, u know insurance is for life!~~!!~~!!

    hohoho~~!

    (in other related news, I am leaving singapore soon..possibly for a few mths..so jeff, let's meet up b4 i fly kay? i haven't seen u since like..Feb)

    Sheesh... I have not logged into this site for such a long time that I have totally forgotten about my password. I just got a temporary one from myke.

    Anyway, I have emailed Bugis about FT too and this is the reply they send me today :

    [ QUOTE ]
    ....Yes, we are geting at lease 1 unit of Virtua Fighter 4 - Final Tuned. Please be patient. We need to get the PE licence clear before purchasing the game.

    Great to have your point of view.

    Thanks for your mail.

    Abel

    So... " Patient " is the word /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

    Locke, GREAT NEWS!

    On a side note, Locke, do you know the staff? I didn't get a single reply when I e-mailed and posted on their message board!

    Summah:

    I can't make it out today, but would you be free on Saturday? We should have give Evo one big last hurrah and have a big session at Bugis in the evening.

    The msg board is a grave. I don't think the administrators read the stuff on it.... regularly, I mean.

    Locke,
    Not sure what PE is. Since bugis is planning to get one in, hope that they won't set an obscene price per game for it.
