Virtualand at Bugis+

Century Square was being renovated starting this month after it was closed which required migration of the shop properties like some of the machines from that branch being moved to other Virtualand branches for instance but there's no way my goals will end in an incomplete way. There are still remaining tracks to complete as we speak. There might be Digital Hospital at the Bugis Junction part of Bugis+ where the laptop computers can be checked for repairs or what not as well as various computer and gaming shops. The main part of Bugis+ is located just opposite of Bugis Junction and to take the Link Bridge would be somewhere on the second floor.
There at Bugis+, there was the pool center, the bar cafe, Prize Station, cinema, video arcade and the list went on. It was a huge shopping complex that had up to seven floors compared to the Bugis Junction part which had like three when not counting the basement floors.
It was confusing at first when going to Bugis+ for the first time as I didn't prepare myself for that through Google Maps or some kind but there were hints like Link Bridge along with the interesting pictures of fun and entertainment indicating that I would have fun there if I took the Link Bridge from the Bugis Junction part.
Once inside the Virtualand arcade, I stumbled upon the new card reader device that was different than the one I was used to. Not to mention that I needed a new card that could be used exclusively there so I wanted to the previous one, I could have gone to the other Virtualand arcade branch. The way you start the game is different too. To do this, you slide in the card and press the left button on the device. There were three buttons on that thing but the only button you should press was the one on the left. By doing so, you were inserting coins by subtracting the amount of virtual coins you have in your card.
Other areas included the computer gaming room or some kind which is what I don't know of other than seeing the projector with Street Fighter V in action as well as the game shop which Toy Or Game is mainly all about.
If the rumors were true about some machines migrated from the Century Square arcade branch, then there were some machines that were proven to be migrated like the Beatmania IIDX machine with the HD* monitor and the better condition keys for instance. However, there was no way to know if the location information was changed for that machine by the time I started that game there again.
