Starting tomorrow a location test will be held in Tokyo. Second location test will start the day after in Osaka. All the location tests will end on 1st of July. So wait for more information.

Obviously KONAMI wants the next game pink. I guess we can say that DJ Troopers was more aimed at male players and Empress might be aimed at gals. But anyway who knows what KONAMI is thinking?

HAZARD mode is available. If you get a regular poor on a note the game ends. (comes from GFDM)

Drummania V4 will be released in Europe in September 2008. There are many questions to be asked about this, such as “what about V5?”, “will e-Amuse be included?”, “will we get the unlocks?”, “what about GuitarFreaks?”, “where is IIDX Gold?”, “what about DJ Troopers?”, and, probably the most asked, “what about that US version?” Most of these questions may be answered when September comes. For me, I’m just glad they’re actually releasing another Bemani game outside of Japan, and I hope it does well.

In two weeks time KDE will release the European version of DDR Supernova.

The game missions are even easier than in the American version (which actually had quite equivalent missions to the Japanese ones).

The songs are different as well. DS SN songs are for example Baile! Baile!, La Bamba (slow version), some songs from SySF (quite a lot), Goldfrapp and some other random songs.

The thing which surprised me was that I could buy FELM from the shop after clearing it on light, reverse in maybe area E? Not to mention that the song cost me just 10 000 points.
