Which exa kits do you have dude?
Are you the Asian guy? I Think I met you years ago at an insert coin event.
Too many and no.
Ah sorry dude. God knows why I had that idea
I really like the look of air gallet, the pcb is crazy money, so there is some financial viability to this one.
Love the exa idea, I only learned about the system last year, after more than a decade out of the scene.
There is an exa cab and sdoj exa at the arcade at Leeds apparently, I keep meaning to take a trip over and have a game.
Which mode have you been playing most? I saw a video of the exa label by a uk guy called retro tuna and it looks really fun.

That was part of my justification for buying it. I'd never played it. The original is good, Exa Label is exceptional. @trap15 has a knack of making these games feel more modern, frenetic, and fun.
It has a Raizing style medal system and the thunder drive bomb is now a chargeable weapon that creates a multiplier that is applied to the medals for as long as there is at least one on screen. Chaining with medals, basically. So if you get your medal value up high and manage to keep charging the thunder drive, you can increase the multiplier further with huge scoring potential. Easier said than done. Lots of plates to spin but it's super fun when you start to piece it all together.

It looks really fun, I read that the exa mode was more of a remaster of the original formula rather than a totally different mode altogether.
It's definitely the pick of the exa catalogue for me, good choice!
I've been enjoying the daily announcement vids, The Rumble Fish 2 Nexus is a very welcome addition, and I'm so happy to see some news on The Fallen Angels.
I think it's an awesome choice myself, definitely an interesting curiosity and one I'm keen to play. I'm a sucker for a nineties Mortal Kombat clone. Am I right in thinking there are a few prototype boards out there? I seem to remember Galloping Ghost having one.
I have some general questions I (mostly) asked about a year ago, but as I finally prepare to pull the trigger I wanted to confirm a few things:
is the Hawt Pink Club motherboard functionally identical to the current Exa motherboard I would buy directly, in terms of performance?
Does this version have the same warranty as a standard Exa motherboard? Will Exa (Japan) service this unit (assuming a good warranty)?
is the only downside to having a motherboard with the internal CMOS battery a voided warranty if I open it to change it myself, or are there other notable hardware changes?
where can someone in the United States buy the pervert games published by Hawt Pink Club (RumbleStorm and Bad Rump Babes)?
is the LE Air Gallet currently for sale on Exa's website the "1st edition"? IE, if I order today will it be the version autographed by Junya Inoue?
Is there any type of release date set for Tattoo Assassins, or other games recently announced? Apologies if this is in front of my face somewhere.
Youre proboably gonna need to email exa directly to get an answer.
I cant believe they picked up tattoo assassins, WHY comes to mind, there must be a million dead IPs to choose from, i guess infamy counts in the grand scheme of things too..
