Beatmania Da Da Da!! Info - Beatmania Da Da Da!! Information - Beatmania Da Da Da!! Release Date
I saw this for sale at a local store for around $35 with a keyboard. It's a typing game, I gather, but is there anything special about it? I'm probably gonna pick it up this Friday regardless, but I was just curious as to what specifically the game entailed. | |

As far as I'm aware it's pretty hard.
But yeah it's just Beatmania but with typing, kind of like Typing of the Dead but there's no zombies and the letters play music I guess. So, completely different.

Yeah, it's a typing game. Some parts require you to hit arrows on beat with sound effects like you would with beatmania, while others are kinda like typing of the dead where you have a set amount of time to get through a word, if I recall correctly.
There's some stuff in beatmania Da! Da! Da! that doesn't get repeated with other games, like a remixed version of Renai Revolution 21 by Morning Musume.
Kinda cheezy, kinda cool, not sure if its worth the $35 since we've progressed so far in the IIDX realm. At least you'll have a cool Konami branded USB keyboard. | |

I remember seeing a thread about it, all I can really get is that it's really hard and really outdated as far as bemani games go.
The way it was recieved on the boards here made it sound less of a solid entry into the BM series as more of a neat little collector's item, more or less. Kind of like Typing of the Dead with music, isn't it? | |

The songs are a bit different from the usual mixes, but you will never know due to the fact that when you are spelling the words out the announcer sounds them out. I have Hell Scaper and Earth Light... samples you can listen to. | |

And after a google search for it, I couldn't find anything at all about this game. Is it just a beatmania-themed typing game?

If anyone's interested (ASSUMING THAT IT HAS NOT VANISHED SOMEHOW BY THE TIME I GO BACK TO PICK IT UP D: ) I could record some gameplay and upload it somewhere.

i would love to see how this works. is the idea of it to be a straight up typing tutor of sorts, or really a game?
in my mind i just see 26 columns for each letter to drop down in, but that would probably be impossible.

You won't see 26 columns, but there are parts where notes are falling with letters above them. Like in beatmania, you must time your key presses of said buttons with the line at the bottom. This will be happening about half the time.
For the other half of the time, you'll be given a phrase to type out. You have to finish typing it out in the allotted time (a measure? two measures? it's been a while) to get credit for it. Yes, the lyrics are in Japanese but it's romanized so don't worry too much about that.
It's pretty much Typing of the Dead with a twist. A MUSICAL TWIST~ | |

Ok. I have the game. Here's the scoop.
It looks.... old... really old.
The songs are ok, but some of them sound looped and stuff. They're right. Half the time it's letters, the other half, it's words.
There aren't that many songs either.
It's on a CD, NOT a DVD.
What makes this game cool is that you can actuall learn some Japanese symbals off of it. I'm not sure if it's kanji, hiragana or what. But it's still learning something. If you learn all the symbals, then you can look at the symbals instead of the letters below ehen the words scroll down. I should just see if I can do a direct feed of me playing the game and just talk over it as a video review. ... I should also do the same for Keyboardmania as these games are kind of hard to find indepth info on.
For gameplay... not quite worth it as far as beatmania.
For a coloector's item, yeah, it's worth it a bit... It's not really true beatmania though.
For a learning experiance, yes. It's quite worth it. I wish they would come out with something like this in the US. That'd be SO AWESOME! Better than Mavis. ... Anyhow, yeah. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and I'll see if I can help. | |
