The giant list of home version Bemani games and controllers

Jeff Paine · 01-04-2008, 06:29 PM

Anyone here remember me? I did a list like this like a year ago, sort of lost interest in Bemani for a while, then my local arcade got Beatmania III (closest thing to anything besides DDR except for Tokyo Game Action which is an hour and a half away) which got me back into Bemani

Soooo, I updated this list and fixed some things, so here ya go, again

EDIT: Hmm, I initially overlooked Pop'n Music Be-Mouse as simply another piece of Pop'n merchandise but apparently it's a full-fledged game. Who knew?

EDIT 2: Added information about DDR Famimat cartridges

EDIT 3: Didn't realize My First DDR was released in Japan also

EDIT 4: Added some more notes

EDIT 5: Whoops, Japanese Karaoke Revolution isn't Bemani

EDIT 6: Thanks to the extreme helpfulness of the owner of DDRers' Stompin' Ground (Japanese) he led me to a site that shows which drumsets are officially supported for the PS2 Drummania games. He also confirmed that Aerobics Revolution and Diet Channel are not considered Bemani games. And I also got a bunch of info about obscure Japanese DDR games from his site too (DDR Famimat, My First DDR JP, etc) So extra-special thanks to him and his website

EDIT 7: Completely forgot about the yellow Pop'n controller

EDIT 8: Well, you learn something new every day, apparently a Dreams Come True CD can be used as an append disc for Dancing Stage feat Dreams Come True

EDIT 9: OK, I found out that there are a bunch of officially supported controllers for Keyboardmania II, but so far the only one that I could find was officially supported was the Yamaha EOS BX (due to it being sold as a bundle with the game on Konamistyle) If anyone could help me out with getting a complete list that would be great.

EDIT 10: Found out the list of supported keyboards basically amounted to "all Yamaha synthesizers, all Yamaha keyboards, all Yamaha digital pianos and all Yamaha organs" (thanks littleviking81), so the only "official" keyboard is the EOS BX. So, I can finally call this list 100% complete! (except for some as-of-yet unreleased games which I will add when there's some concrete information on them, other than the fact that they exist)

Yamaha EOS BX Keyboard (JP) actually, pretty much any Yamaha MIDI keyboard is supported, and pretty much any MIDI keyboard period will work for Keyboardmania II, but this one was officially endorsed by Konami via a Konamistyle bundle, so that's why it appears on this list.
