Default DJMax Portable International to be released

http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-...j-70-1ml0.html
DJ Max Portable (International Version) is completely in English and contains one new song "River Flow" (composed by Planetboom), not found in the original release.

They mustve realized a bunch of americans are playing this game... I wonder if I had anything to do with it...

BTW, the Korean version of this game in 99.5% english, and other than the new song I see no differences. But if you do not own this game, BUY IT NOW.

I would think Pentavision removed Dreadnought and replaced it with River Flow. Thus making it more accepted in the US...

Why was Dreadnaught deleted anyway? Did they get too wild with rabid, virtually meaningless anti-Americanism?

I'm Korean myself and I don't like what the American government is doing (both to the world and to their own country) but, Jesus fucking Christ. Stop. Now.

Well in the video (watchable at DJMAX:US on the front page), they also beat up on Osama and Saddam, so Im guessing the video is just about the hate of the current war.

With the international version being released, i don't understand why
they just won't release it here in the US period. Or do you think it's due
to Beatmania US's poor release here that they hesistate o_O?

Well, I think DJ Max Portable International version will be up to sale in America. Else there is little point in making it English... I doubt they really care about Britains, Australia and other English speaking countries, but anyway.

To be honest US largely is kinda peculiar to such genre. Whenever I make my friends listen to some of Drummania music, they never forget to say "LOL you are so Azn." Beatmania was one of the first of the genre, and it kinda proved it's not gonna really work in the States... or something.

It's kinda funny... IIDX and Pop'n, with arguably the best music in the entire music gaming genre, are ignored whereas DDR is/was a huge success.

I think in all countries that play music games, generic pop music is far more popular than trance, miscellaneous -- and in DJ Max's case, awesome Korean tracks - very awesome stuff if you have a decent sound system.

Mostly it's outta word of mouth and telling people to just give it a try. If they can get the courage to play DDR, they can surely play DJ Max in the privacy of their own home . . .

Anyway, I agree with an International version to be released locally, per country. And I don't really like the addition of a single song... Seems kind of a waste of potential.

I can easily see why that song got eliminated since 'Dubyabot' got beat up. However, couldn't they have just altered the video itself and kept the song on the game?

Yeah, its a good song, I dont know why they didnt just change the BGA and banners. I'm sure Earbreaker was mad, unless he agreed with Pentavision's choice.

Yeah, I defiinitely have to pick up this game before Thanksgiving. Looks like it could be a fun alternative to IIDX for that weekend (No TGA or PS2 to play the game on). The music I've heard is pretty good. Do you actually play the notes like Beatmania?

Yeah you do. DJMAX is more of a EZ2DJ clone than a beatmania clone, since EZ2DJ and DJMAX are both Korean games. Look on Youtube for some gameplay videos if you want.
