games that scroll downward: osumania, o2jam, djmax trilogy, beatmania iidx, pop'n music, reflec beat, sound voltex, guitar hero, rock band, deemo, and yeah basically every other rhythm game ever. that's not to say that there aren't exceptions, like djmax technika and taiko no tatsujin which scroll sideways, and other games like jubeat, rerave, groove coaster, osu, and cytus that don't have a defined scroll direction.

the only arcade games to ever have a default scroll direction being up are literally those three games you named (itg, piu, and ddr).

lmao

Sincerely thank you for correcting me because I have no knowledge of a majority of rhythm games other than the several I mentioned and I learned something from this post

I figured afterwards that I might have misused the term Cabinet but I didn't have a better word for it at that moment in time
