Chunithm[1] (stylized in all caps) is an arcade rhythm game developed and published by Sega. It was demonstrated first in some Japanese arcades in November 2014,[2][3] and was officially released on 16 July 2015.[4] The game's title of Chunithm is a portmanteau of "chūnibyō" and "rhythm".[3]

A reboot of the series,[5] Chunithm NEW, based on the original Chunithm, was released in Japan in November 2021 and worldwide in March 2022.[6] Along with Chunithm NEW, new cabinets are also released along with the new game. Many new features and improvements were made to the new machine, such as:

  • 120fps monitor
  • Upgraded speaker, earphone jack, and touch panels
  • Digital payment support
  • Avatar and arena battle
  • Level adjustments, extending from level 14 to level 15

These new cabinets are called "Gold Model" while old cabinets are now called "Silver Model". Old "Silver Model" cabinets can be converted using conversion kits to run Chunithm NEW.[7]
