I'm just asking this because Konami has chose not to do anything to this series, instead they decided to seal the fate of this series. Why hasn't this forum gone to the graveyard, then? I'm just wondering why. | |

I think the best answer is that people still play it.

Either that, or censore all those ITG YouTube videos like they did with some beatmania IIDX videos. I just better hope the company didn't hear what I said, lest I get a lawsuit. | |

Pfft, then they should do the same with all the EZ2Dj (another game "killed" by Konami) related media...
Just let people be, man. People still play ITG, and Konami doesn't seem to care. | |

Konami can't force previously existing machines to stop existing. They can't make arcade operators turn them off or destroy them. They simply own the intellectual rights, which would prevent roxor from ever releasing an ITG3

Which does suck a bit. I had hoped ITG would force Konami to innovate some more (instead of just release a long overdue sequel).

That doesn't prove much though. The original banner was the title screen from the video, right?
And a song does not a game make, sir.

1) no they didn't
2) so? ITG licensed plenty of stuff that had been in ddr (bumble bee, typical tropical, sunshine, temple of love)
3) i doubt this

EDIT: Also it's Universe 3, not X. | |
