Products

[edit]

Andamiro previously used to craft electrical appliances. and is most well known for creating amusement arcade machines, and the Pump It Up series[8][9], a five-panel take on dancing games, with it being their first line up of arcade games. They are also well known for crafting the In the Groove 2 dedicated cabinet. Andamiro has also published numerous miscellaneous arcade games, such as "Shaq's Garage"[10][11] and "Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom". Occasionally, Andamiro will partner with RedOctane to create home releases of arcade games, primarily the Pump It Up series. [12]

Controversy

[edit]

Within the community of dancing games, Andamiro has faced controversy, due to the comparable nature of Pump It Up to Dance Dance Revolution. This has resulted in a lawsuit comparable to the Konami and RoXoR lawsuit[13], in regards to In the Groove 2 and Dance Dance Revolution.[14] Most arguments usually stem off the fact that both games follow similar gimmicks, and use similar controls.[15]
