$15 seems steep for DLC packs but each one is 10 songs, 3 navigators, and 3 avatars, so that's actually pretty impressive. I'll probably buy the Denpagumi Inc DLC this weekend and the Touhou DLC in two weeks when I get paid again. After the lackluster port for PC I was worried I'd only play Groove Coaster once or twice a year when I could make it to Round1. The physical controls and notes that use directional sticks, wiggle, or rapid taps really add another dimension and degree of difficulty to the game that really made the arcade version shine.

I used to play the old iOS game back before it had any song packs and loved it, but lamented the overall lack of energy in the tracks and the shallow gameplay. It runs well and the timing feels spot on (playing on a Lite). The default song selection isn't bad at all, and it's good to see that there are challenge courses and the mission board to incentive playing songs and modes I wouldn't normally play at the arcade. Pulled the trigger on this last night despite the high price.
