While a majority of Japanese Arcade Rhythm Games on the market right now are made by either Sega or Konami, WACCA is a rhythm game produced by a company that had never entered the rhythm game space before. Come learn about the history of this circular rhythm game!

WACCA WILL REINCARNATION ON IDOL GAME.
It’s hard to compete against Maimai’s popularity in asia. That being said, Wacca hit the hearts of the western audience. It’s a great introduction to people who don’t traditionally play rhythm games. To us crazies that aren’t scared of stuff like sound voltex’s controls, this is less daunting for your average westerner to try. I see it all the time. It’s a good inspiration moving forward

Speaking as a Japanese player who started playing wacca since the location test, I really liked wacca and used to play it all the time after school. Well, until covid hit Japan that is. While I think bad timing plays a big role in the death of Wacca, I personally think Marvelous also missed a huge opportunity by locking the Expert difficulty. As someone who's already actively playing 5 other rhythm games at the time, unlocking songs sadly just became too bothersome for me to continue playing (in the context of 2020). Yes, I know, there were login bonuses and like chunithm you could purchase an EX ticket on the in-game shop, but that uses the in game currency, which is also used to unlock songs. which might not be as bad under normal circumstances (I think it's as bad as maimai pre-dx' unlock system) but think about it, say if a sizable chunk of people who were playing wacca regularly come from other games, they'll probably prioritize their main game first in the limited time game centers were allowed to operate in 2020. Which reduces the time slot for playing Wacca, less time unlocking stuff, leading to less play. This is all speculation but that's what happened to me at least.
That said, I really hope Marvelous consider making a successor someday. RIP Wacca, You will be missed.
its okay, theres a fan successor :)
on locking difficulty, I've been saying this for quite some time! I also enjoy multiple games in the genre and it comes across so anti player.
@@CraftyTheFox what, waccvr? or is there something analogous to museca plus?

Don't worry for dead rhythm game WACCA about one year ago, WACCA will be back to idol rhythm game now.
I guess one reason wacca is so popular in the U.S. is due to the inaccessibility of maimai cabinets in the West. Both Wacca and maimai are designed to be more casual experiences that also cater to die-hard music gamers (through insanely difficult charts and commisioning famous rhythm game artists). But maimai is already too popular in Asia for wacca to challenge the market by the time of wacca's entry.
Now let's pray sega actually spend the effort to bring more chunithm and maimai cabinets to North America. :/
I like Wacca more than Maimai but they are both two completely different games in every regard other than ring controller. It's a shame Wacca is offline because it honestly felt like a breath of fresh air in Rhythm games that merged the worlds of hardcore rhythm game and casual rhythm game alongside a fantastic soundtrack and song list. And it had the production power to boost. Everything from the UI, characters and general feel look fresh and great. It was like playing pop'n or bemani for the first time all over again
the first arcade rhythm game i touched was wacca in april 2021, and it was during a scary time while i was recovering from a surgery and under a lot of stress. wacca brought me into the community, and it became something so dear to me; the art was beautiful, and the aesthetic grabbed me, and all of the amazing music kept me coming back. it was very loved and cherished at me round1. even though it is offline there, i still play it and continue to get better. wacca forever

In the final message and in Dive with U, they say things along the lines of "See you again" so I think there's a fair chance that, though it of course won't be Wacca, Marvelous (maybe partnered with Tano*C) will come and make another rhythm game. Hopefully they use what they learned with Wacca so it starts on a better foot and hopefully the world situation is a bit better for its run.
Anyway, good video!
WACCA will be back on idol rhythm game now.

If Wacca is dead, then why is there one in my living room? 🤔
You have a wacca cabinet in your living room?
Yep, you can just buy one if you really want to. I have a Wacca and a Project Diva cabinet in my living room.

Me and a co-worker were talking about rhythm games recently and I brought up WACCA as I used to play the game a lot, especially in 2020-21. He then told me about this video and said I should watch it. Very good video. Really brought back some memories. Figured I tell my story.
It was October 2020. A Round1 location just opened up in Deptford, NJ which is where I lived at the time and was even there for the grand (well, soft) opening. Still have the Round1 t-shirt that I got that day for being one of their first customers. Anyhow, the game that made me want to go to Round1 at the time was Groove Coaster which I was playing a lot of on mobile at the time and I did enjoy playing it in the arcade… for about a month. I would’ve enjoyed it more if people didn’t break the boosters all the time. Due to that, I started to try out other rhythm games like SDVX, Project DIVA Arcade and Theatrhythm All-Star Carnival. However, one rhythm game stuck out to me and that was WACCA (WACCA Lily to be exact). I played it once and just like that, I was hooked right then and there. Every time I went to Round1, I would go play some WACCA, sometimes, it would be the only game I played that day at Round1. If an event was going on, I would play 10-15 credits in a single day because I wanted to unlock everything. Hell, I think I was actually the only person at my Round1 location to unlock everything from the D4DJ and Azur Lane events. Also, the feeling of getting an ALL MARVELOUS was great. I think had around 50 of them. I would go check but… you know.
However, times would change in 2022. I was getting more busy and when I wasn’t busy, I was spending more time dealing with the massive backlog of games I had at home which was created due to my constant time playing WACCA the previous year. I still did play WACCA in 2022, just not as much. However, when that announcement came out that the servers were shutting down, l couldn’t believe it. I refused to believe it… but it was true. To make it worse, the Summer of 2022 was an insanely busy time for me, didn’t even have much time to play games at home so I didn’t have much time to even go to Round1 and enjoy WACCA in its final months. I did at least manage to play it a few days before the servers were shut off. Played a few credits just to say goodbye. I’ll never forget when I played DIVE with U as my last song. The moment the song ended, I tried to hold it in but I couldn’t and I just cried. I did feel a little embarrassed admitting that originally until some other WACCA players told me the same thing happened to them. Some players even told me the moment the servers shut down, it felt like something that was part of their life was just… gone and I actually did find that relatable.
After WACCA went offline, I tried to fill the void that was missing at Round1. Groove Coster was still dealing with busted boosters and I could never get good at games at IIDX like I used to be or SDVX (in my mid-30s with carpal tunnel issues. It sucks.😩). Only game that did get my attention during that point was Chrono Circle… and then it didn’t anymore. I think the game has some potential but I don’t think it’s even trying to live up to it. In the end, I just spent more time messing around with the crane machines for the remainder of 2022.
And then 2023 came. I was getting ready to move out of NJ and move somewhere around Lancaster, PA. Saw they have a Round1 here which is nice. I been there a few times since moving here in July 2023. Played a bit of Music Diver which I do like quite a bit. However, I remember the first time I walked into the Round1 Lancaster location back in May during a break from doing open houses with my realtor and right there as you walk in from the outside… is WACCA. I did play a couple credits last month for old time sake. Still love it. Still makes me sad that the servers are shut off. I honestly do have to agree with you on thinking the pandemic played a part in the end of WACCA.
Nowadays, we see all these WACCA collaborations in other rhythm games which is always nice to see the legacy of that game continue to this day. However, one collaboration I would love to see is WACCA in DJMAX Respect V. It just needs to happen.
It's crazy how dedicated people were over here for this game. Our Wacca cab had a 5 person line at times, and when the news about EoS dropped our local R1 Discord imploded. One of the players has since bought a cab for their home. I liked Wacca, but for me it was just something to play while waiting for iidx or SDVX. It was just way too easy, within an hour of playing I had Stage X, and was playing 13s.
every rhythm game is easy if you have a freaking experience, as you said you're waiting for iidx/sdvx which are pretty much the same game instead you touch the tiles
I had a dude in my arcade who got 15k in maimai for 3 months but that took me a year lol

I think you should talk about Groove Coaster next. Unfortunately, they will be shutting down its online service on March 31st. It would be sick to see you break down all the different versions of this wonderful game. :)
Though the service is dead, the game's community and players will never die out...
seeing so many Wacca cabinets in Taiwan with burnt or miscolored panels is almost depressing
My local arcade has pretty much nobody playing it anymore lol honestly feel kinda proud to be one of the few people who still play this masterpiece
Me and my bf start getting hyped at Round 1 for it. I'm kinda glad we get to have two machines to ourselves and that sort of turns heads and it gets people into it.

I completely forgot that covid was a thing while thinking of reasons why WACCA died. I never had to experience the game in person as we don't even have Round 1s in Russia anymore, but I absolutely love it nonetheless. I hope at some point that "see you somewhere next time" would be WACCA's return....
Also dear god I wanna sing Ouverture on some local anime convention while cosplaying as Luin so badly D:

Wacca being dead is still devastating to this day, its really really fun. I hope we see a continuation or something similar in the future.
I've lived in Shibuya for about a year and the local Sega arcade had 2 Wacca cabs and in the entire year I've not once ever seen someone playing it. I see more people playing Nostalgia and Dance Rush which says a lot. Heck, I see more people playing Groove Coaster
I'm Australian and I've never played a WACCA before because we don't have any here. I knew of WACCA especially from crossovers and rhythm game artists that I follow and it looks like a fun game. It's sad to see it go though, before I even got a chance to play it.

Very good video. Made me cry. I was at my local r1 when it went offline and i will forever remember seeing the game reboot after the update missing the online marker at the top. I hope wacca continues to live on and I hope it gets revitalized one day.
No, Wacca will imagined by someone and Circlet collect unit rhythm game Sera Flolight Eyes Song Master Of Diva was born on Tokyo now.
Big F for Wacca. I’m lucky my local arcade has 2 of them on a private network.
WACCA was down to Arcade but prepare to second Collboration to Arcaea.
I'm quite lucky I have access to a cabinet running on a private server. No new releases but at least I can unlock what's already there.
Covid def killed off the game :( I'm glad I got to play it in September 2019 and I'm hoping I can still find some offline cabs around Japan in the upcoming September trip (WGC hopefully and other places). Pity that a lot of the good songs were removed with the offline patch :(
man out of all the games i was hoping to never see here wacca was one of them :') thank you for the coverage
Hey guys! I know this isn't related to the video or to wacca (its more like a suggestion actually) but did you guys know that bandai namco actually tried to make another rhythm game in 2015? Its called synchronica (シンクロニカ) and right now! Its literally gone and you can no longer play it because bandai namco pulled the servers for synchronica in september 2019... making it a dead rhythm game.
Also if your wondering, the gameplay for synchronica was similar to beatstream which means you have to hit the notes using your hands which also means that most of the time you CAN'T see the notes so... something tells me that making a touch screen rhythm game ONLY works for mobile games and NOT arcade games... or maybe bandai namco was aware of synchronica's future because 2019 will be the year where covid-19 will make its first appearance and will ruin everyones life!
Great video and I like how you touched on no English support likely being a contributing factor (i agree)
I'd also like to add that another factor was likely due to them developing the game using SEGA hardware and network instead of their own inhouse hardware/server, which likely increased the costs to run the game substantially...
I think comparing it to Groove Coaster, which is also a dead game at this point, but is still "online", is important to see how it could've ended if they had been running the servers themselves instead of through SEGA.
While Covid was probably the biggest factor, ignoring EN speaking players and licensing SEGA hardware/network was likely also quite large factors that could have prevented it from outright failing.
I love WACCA and I hope I can continue to play and keep it alive (in my own way) here in America
Don't about that sad for Wacca, Wacca will imagined by someone and Circlet Unit Collect Rhythm game Sera Flolight Eyes Song Master Of Diva was be born now.
I just discovered Wacca when I went to Round 1 and it's one of the best- easiest to pick up Japanese rhythm games. I absolutely LOVED playing Overdrive - IOSYS on Hard 💖
RIP Elizabeth and her frilled lizard friend, you will be greatly missed! ;-;
I just found one of these cabinets at an American arcade. I am highly considering buying one. It's the best gaming experience I've ever had.
Good reminder, i have to grind for Luin as Arcaea Partner and his Awakening since it might be the last chance to get him😭
As a former player, the lack of English translation sucks because it had the most spread out menu options when adjusting for gameplay with very little English or visual to figure out which option is which.
i feel like wacca will come back soon, especially if more Japanese arcades pop up in NA
i'm a new rhythm game player as of this year - wacca and maimai are my favorites. wacca has the best characters too 💔 hope they at least leave the offline cabs around for a long time
pretty sad to see honestly, since i'm from germany, and our arcade scene being basically dead, i have decided to buy a wacca cab myself. Hope that the R1 arcades in the US decide to atleast let them run on offline mode or on private servers, because wacca is a great game!
02:22 If we're counting all the platforms they developed with, they did develop IA/VT Colorful for the Vita - AFAIK that would be their first foray in rhythm game development.
I feel like i missed out on an era where rythm games was on their prime. Idrk today 2024 if its still alive but im just catching up on the progress
WACCA is the first rhythm game I had serious interest into getting into, but I didn’t discover it until after the series died off 😢 I can still play at my local round 1 at least but it still sucks that there’s not going to be anything new again
So many dancing and circlet rhythm game never revive again to Japan. Many Japanese Arcade Rhythm game want simple also.
2022년 8월 22일 짧았던 아케이드 서클릿 리듬게임 왓카의 전성기는 그렇게 막을 내렸다. 일본 아케이드에서는 댄싱이나 서클릿 리듬게임이 부활할수 없다.
반대로 우리나라에서는 테트리스물이나 SRPG물이나 메카물이 부활할수 없다. 우리나라는 상당히 심플한 장르를 요구한다.
Dude, I loved wacca so much. Like, it was the only rhythm game that made stop playing pump it up for a bit. I wish I could of supported it a bit more, but my local r1 stopped getting updates for a while during the pandemic, stunting its popularity over here. The cab is still here, but it mostly just makes me depressed seeing it in such a state.
Wacca is my favorite arcade rhythm game. I discovered it from Tano*C songs being added to D4DJ and and from there I started listening to USAO specifically and then Mobius released. It said "from wacca" and I had no idea what it meant so I went searching and fell in love with the music and became mesmerized with how unique and fun the game play seemed. Its like the game was made just for me mixing Lam's art and Tano*C's music. I finally got to play the game some time last year after going to round 1 for the first time. Sadly Round 1 is over an hour from where I live so I don't get to play often unless I plan a whole trip there or happen to come across a cabinet at a convention, although luckily I've been seeing Wacca cabinets at cons lately so that makes me really happy. I had no clue I started playing the game after it died tho...
Played this game for the first time yesterday at Round One arcade. Probably my favorite rhythm game there. I think the offline play was really good! I’m hoping to see it in more arcades even if it’s offline only.
wacca had another collaboration with arcaea a few days ago which really surprised me, I was so touched when I saw Luin as an obtainable partner and also with the new addition of Wacca's iconic song, Ouverture, into Arcaea.
just played this at round one today for the first time. had a blast
Highly informative and well put together! I wasn't aware of this game before.
After Wacca was ending to service, Taito's dram rhythm game Music Diver now. So Sega's three captain arcade rhythm games vs Taito's three captain rhythm games two mountain war now.
2022 year later, Wacca was ending service on Aguest 22. Wacca was service ending, Music Diver instead Wacca's seat. Music Diver was Taito's dram rhythm game and Sega's Geki Chu Mai rival rhythm game. Taito's Music De Groo will fight with Sega's Geki Chu Mai.

Ouch, bad timing I suppose, that date for those who don’t know already, was when the 2nd Chinese coronavirus outbreak has been confirmed outside of China. It took less than a few months to ravage the United States as soon as one was confirmed in there.
Thanks for the video on WACCA, very concise, good length video that can introduce just about anyone to it.
I started playing WACCA only earlier this year and completely fell in love with it. I used to play rhythm games more when I was a lot younger, strictly BEMANI titles, mainly pop'n (evident from my profile). As someone who never consistently played (because I just couldn't as a teenager with restricted options back around 2010~2016), it was pretty hard to get past any significant barriers because the scoring on BEMANI games tend to be pretty strict. Lead to a lot of unhealthy mentalities over what is just supposed to be a game to enjoy, by the end of the day.
WACCA and Chuni both can get really challenging, but what I liked was how incredibly nice it is in scoring their players, lol. Kinda brings relief to me and plus the play style is super fun, using your arms kinda allows you to be more expressive during play if you wanted. Getting S's easily and having the characters praise you does stuff to the brain. I think Nostalgia is probably the only KONAMI game that is similarly friendly to new players or casuals, which I also largely enjoy, but it lacks the same kind of UI sense and music genres that I think the current generation is more into right now.
I sincerely hope WACCA makes a return, because for sure I've only heard positive reactions from people on the Western side. And it's clear how much the dev team genuinely cared. You don't see that a lot anymore, esp with KONAMI's current state. Here's hoping.
For the longest time I still thought Wacca was still online!
I wanted to play wacca, but when I got into rhythm games, wacca was already offline, so I never got the chance to play it. So far, I’ve played Liminality, which is a clone of wacca for iPhone and android, but I still want to play wacca.
im new into wacca i visited gamescom 2023 loved it. so sad to see it go down the drain
I remember going to Australia and seeing a Wacca machine and kinda just being disappointed that it was offline. I still tried it out and I absolutely loved the game. I hope it'll make a comeback sometime in the future.
Wacca is literally the greatest Rhythm Game ever made. When I have a compatible space i AM getting a machine so that I can die from a heart attack while in front of it.
damn i just discovered wacca at a convention and played it at my local arcade. feels like one of the most beginner friendly rhythm games i've tried so far, managed to figure out how to play without a tutorial while at the con.
the official twitter account is still active, most recent collab was last month surely there's still a chance of wacca coming back.
...right?
My local arcade (shoutout to GamePlay in Glen Burnie MD) is an independent arcade that has some used import rhythm games in there (A lot of the Konami games set up with Eagle and a couple others) and they got a Wacca cabinet in there earlier this year, I definitely have to agree on the point that it's approachable if you're familiar with other rhythm games because I usually try to ease my way in when trying out a new rhythm game but so much Chunithm had me prepared to play on hard and expert the first day it was in there lol
Thankfully one of my local-ish arcades got a Wacca in a couple weeks back... I am hoping to acquire one for my home at some point. It's a great game.
Great video! I discovered Wacca just recently at a local arcade and I love it! So sad to hear it didn't catch on and is already considered dead, because I think it's still really popular among the rhythm fans

- From Korea User, Jack
that's wild. I literally didn't even know of its existence until yesterday at a convention. Obviously, I have nothing even resembling an arcade for dozens, maybe hundreds of miles from where I live. but I tried out Wacca and it was much more fun than I thought it would be. the touch sensitive controls are very fluid and addictive, more satisfying than the button based games I tried.
I never understood why WACCA flopped the way it did. It is so different and unique that the first time I got to play on a machine in august this year at Gamescom, me and my siblings (all 3 of us avid rhythm game players for years) got so hooked that my sister working at Gamescom even when to the hall earlier just so she could play. It was exciting to see how, even though there were DDR machines and other rhythm game machines this "new" thing was what people were queuing for like crazy. Sadly, due to how insanely packed gamescom was i could only play one song myself, but it was fun. Only later the person in charge for it told us that this was discontinued.
I remember how we had accidentally crashed the thing and joked between us how, maybe because of Gamescom, the machine isnt online - and the guy just flatly went "No its never online" :(
I'm pretty sure that the online service for it ended literally one month after Round 1 opened near to me (well, "near", it's still a long-ass drive).
Did WACCA ever have online service at R1 in the USA? I know Chunithm doesn't (very annoyed about that, the game is super fun).
it did, yep. Same service as Japan
oh man literally yesterday i was thinking about this potential video...
i feel like Wacca could've survived a bit longer if it wasnt locked to only a few asian countries and the usa, I understand there are unofficial machines outside the few official countries but even then very few. There are last I checked like 10 machines in the entirety of Europe, a huge market that they just didnt touch.
I played it a few times it’s really fun I loved it. I’m too far from any arcade but would love to play more if I can
WACCA'S DEAD??
MAN I NEVER TRIED IT TnT
I wish more online games would patch themselves to still have most features available after they go offline. Looking at you, future Dead Rhythm Games candidate DJMAX Technika.
Id like to know the songs in the background. Enjoyed hearing them lol
well, here it finally is
i really wonder why they shut it down, but i hope wacca makes some sort of comeback in the future
This is my second favorite rhythm game behind IIDX (SDVX is 3rd and Chunithm 4th) even though I only played it for the first time after it went completely offline (I didn't know it had). I find it far more approachable and aesthetically appealing than Maimai. My Round1 (brand new as of March) opened with a single offline cabinet, and there's another location nearby with one on free play. Great time every play. I could spend hours on it.
interesting to hear of a R1 that just opened still put it on the floor despite it being already shut down
I literally played Wacca just now and almost all the machines were filled. Wacca never dies ❤
Marvelous has rhythm game experience in the form of IA/VT Colorful on the VITA.
It's still alive, we got a tournament going on next week
Played wacca reverse at my local arcade and found out the online service was dead and i am still sad
I'm european and I got to experience wacca at a game convetion this year. I'm a big fan of rhythm and i completely fell in love with the experience wacca brings. I'm so sad Wacca is dead but I don't think I would've been able to play it if they didn't close down the online service. I'd still love to play it on its original glory so i hope I can see it again in the future, or something like this
Thank you for doing a video like this. But lets turn it positive what about the talking about the growing popularity of other rhythm games? And why they are? Especially mobile rhythm games
Really sucks to hear this. When I first went to the arcade knowing nothing, the fact that I knew Ado or Babymetal on there really helped me get into everything else. It’s a really lovely game.
WACCA well be back to idol rhythm game now.

Best rhythm game ever made if you ask me (I know the really hardcore fans would disagree with me though, it could've absolutely used some harder charts.)
Geki! Chu Mai vs Music! Te Groo Sega's trio rhythm game vs Taito's trio rhythm game who is win?
After Wacca was ending to service on Arcade, Geki Chu Mai vs Music Te Groo trio rhythm game rival were survived. So, Wacca will imagine by someone and Sera Floright Eyes Song Master Of Diva born by Tokyo.
Wacca will imagined by someone and Sera Flolight Eyes Song Master Of Diva will available on Tokyo now.
Wacca will imagined by someone and Sera Flolight Eyes Song Master Of Diva will be born by Tokyo. So Wacca will become Sera Flolight Eyes Song Master Of Diva.
1:00 no bandai namco 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
sad to hear this is dead. I was really impressed by the game when I was in japan in fall 2019.
At here at least in my city, people tend more to play maimai.
I've been playing Wacca in VR with WacVR, but it just isn't the same. I miss real Wacca and offline Reverse sucks. Guess I'll have to spend $3k on a cab someday lol great video btw
i knew tano*c would be featured in the video, big fan of the people there
Local arcade just got a wacca cab and it’s super fun to play. Thanks for the overview
Touching note by the producer 😢
Where? :o
@@katsudon2048 freeplay in MA/RI got wacca
i had a feeling WACCA was dead when i saw their songs on d4dj
WTF! I discovered this at Round 1 and it became my favorite ever arcade game. So sad it's dead now?!
Obnoxious comment: the label name is pronounced "tanoshii", it's a play on a japanese word for something pleasant
(Thanks for your videos!)
im so excited to play this at my local arcade!! im using my bday as an excuse to go with my friends 😭 theres one about 15 mins away from me with a reverse wacca cab, and sdvx and chunithm im literally so excited 🙏 i went before but i was so new to arcade rhythm games and embarrassed myself, but im excited to return as a pro gamer😈🔥‼️ (thats a joke im *not* a pro💀)
I live in Nagoya and go to arcades almost daily and I have never ONCE seen anyone play WACCA.
I’ve seen more people on Museca cabs than this thing
Hello nice vid btw what music is at the start of the vid ty 😊
Sad that it is a dead game. I still play it at my local arcade though lol. It's super fun
Besides covid and maimai/chunithm, the unlock system was a bad design that made players like me eventually chose other games. I don't know whether this vip system in chinese version was different from japanese and international version. Some songs were only available for vip (not just expert levels, all difficulties of those songs), others had the expert level lock for non-vip. With price per game higher than maimai (at least here), you can't even get the full feature without that vip. No wonder there were usually fewer people playing wacca despite its unique design.
It's lucky that wacca partially survives in China. Online mode remains, but almost all vocaloid and anime songs are gone due to copyright. No idea how long the agency here can maintain this on their own.
Breaks my heart that WACCA is dead when I was just on the hunt to find a machine near me :(. Also would anyone happen to know the song name in the beginning of the video?
what is the background music?
Wait so surely i can buy a cabinet
Wait- it’s dead? I really enjoy Wacca ahhhh :(
me just getting into rhythm games only to learn this is why my ic card didnt work on my favorite cabinet (sobbing)
Rock Band just put out its last DLC as the devs get shuffled off to the Fortnite mines, so unfortunately it seems like you have a steady stream of content to work with.
Please do STALIGHT next
The only reason i remember thus game is because i loved the artist
Looks like it's Mai-Nythm
