Well, the game’s being around for few days and people are really having fun to play this game. I wonder how popular this game will get.

Anyway more to the game play mechanics. You already know that you have to confirm the panels that light up with music but I guess everyone wondered when exactly the panels were supposed to be confirmed. People could think that it needs to be confirmed as fast as possible, but those playing BEMANI games were like “there has to be something like ‘just great’ window”. And there is actually one. The just perfect window is at the time when the panel is full lit.

Starting yesterday and ending on 23rd of July Japanese people have the chance to try the new DDR arcade game out. As you may know this mix is celebrating the 10 years of DDR’s existence and thus should be innovative or revolutionary.

The cabinet itself looks different. It has bigger and wider screen and more lights next to the speakers. Also the banner is bigger etc^_~. Anyway the platform has changed quite a lot. At least the looks of it (no pink/blue panels, red bar). KONAMI asks the player what they think of the panels (playing-wise) so I guess they changed more than just the look^_~ (hope it is better than the SN platform). In overall the cabinet is more western urban styled and I’m quite afraid of how the game will look like.

All songs have been rerated to 1-20 scale. So most boss songs have different difficulties now. (So max300 or TLOM are rated 15 and FELM and FAXX are 18s)

KONAMI also introduced a new type of note. It’s called a shock arrow. When you step on the arrow you will get a combo breaker, you will loose a bit energy from the lifebar and the scrolling arrows will vanish for a while.

Today KONAMI announced 2 big and long awaited news. ….

1. DDR X is going to be an arcade release! (as well as the CS one, but everyone knows that already).

2. Jubeat is going to be finally out! Site is opening on 24th July so it’s going to be soon!

After the first L.E.D.’s album released under the Beatnation Records we can now enjoy the first stand alone album of Sota Fujimori. The album is named Synthesized.

People enjoying PNM16 Party in the arcades can now purchase the PNM 16 Party Original Soundtrack.

If you are a registered user to KONAMISTYLE and you buy something from the shop you will earn KONAMI points. You can later exchange the points for some BEMANI related items like bags with BEMANI logo, cups, t-shirt or customized memory cards.
