yeah guess we arent logical You should send you resume to Konami and make these games happen (and man who would of thought of putting iidx on the ps3)


Seriously these type of comments and threads are expected from a guy whose named after a series of horrible songs (Go back to playing MAX 300)

Yeah okay making a IIDX dual release with one red and the other blue (or silver/gold) ISNT INSPIRED BY POKEMON AT ALL....yeah right. In reality, IIDX has customization options and you can just combine these skins into one SIMPLE game. Obviously, you've never played a IIDX style other than BMUS.

then why in the world would they do it? regardless of what you think or how you feel about bemani, konami is in it to MAKE IT MAKE MONEY

this thread needs more IIDX MAROOOOOOOON

Geez, A guy can't share some simple ideas without getting attacked by a flamethrower? Fine, it's gone, just use the thread to discuss the likelihood of another Beatmania US Mix (but looking at your posts I can see you guys don't expect or even want another BMUS mix)

Your simple ideas = fucking ridiculous.

You know, if it's just themes you want (I even read your post in the feature requests/submissions section about having a red bemanistyle), just change shit around yourself to match your needs instead of having some ridiculous wishful thinking shit.

WHAT'S NEXT? would've been awesome for beatmania US but instead we get songs like Manmachine Plays Jazz. holy shit konami you're the best you even included V and colors omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

[bansatalus]

serious for a moment: v and colors are songs that are likely to be recognized by people in the us that have played other bemani (and by other bemani i mean ddr). in the case of v they should recognize it if they care about music AT ALL

they tried to put on a good number of ddr songs but honestly, as much as i'm sure everyone hates this, if they wanted it to actually be SUCCESSFUL they needed more dumb american licenses, just like home version ddr

bmus was great for my first iidx, it had the cube and a bunch of other favorites from playing alot of stepmania

should of had 5key hysteria 2001 T.T

What the heck does this have to do with my theme post? And don't tell me you haven't imagined something or wished for something in your whole life. You're the only ridiculous thing I see here. You make no sense, you just want to flame people because you have nothing better to do.

But back on topic, a lot of gamers think just because a certain game company hit a bump in the road means they totally fail. So BMUS didn't do a good job. Does that mean they can't come out with something better? I personally think if Konami tried and appealed to both the Hardcore and Casual gamers with its most popular franchise (well, in Japan) Beatmania could be really successful. If Konami showed Americans how unique and intuitive Beatmania is, they'd buy.

They did. And Americans went "LOL TECHNO IS FOR RETARDED PEOPLE. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, DJ SIMULATION?"

Are you one of those types of people who think Guitar Hero has mainstream popularity for reasons beyond pretending you're playing already popular songs?

[Jeff Paine]

Um, Konami DID try again bringing IIDX to America. They did location tests for GOLD and everything. But there's still practically no interest in the game aside from people that are already fans of the series.

At my arcade there's a Beatmania III, I've had plenty of people watch me play and show interest in the game, but they're all put off by the complexity of the game. The fact is, unless people are already fans of the series, they're probably going to be intimidated by it and they'll never try it.

As for future home versions, that's not gonna happen. DDR's popularity is solely because of its arcade presence. DDR was successful in arcades because it's interesting and simple enough to get you to try it. IIDX in all honestly looks confusing and intimidating to someone who's never played before.

And released a retarded PokeIIDX Red/Blue certainly isn't going to get people interested in IIDX.

Uh, no. I'm talking about how ridiculous your idea is.

Like everyone else in this thread.

Because it is really ridiculous.

Mr max freak, im just letting you know (cuz you seem new to the internets) that people online are critical and rude and thats just how it is, and dont take it to heart. Its the internets. Its a whole new world.

[Milk Chan]

I think BMUS would've been more successful if they removed V from the game and added . Profits increased tenfold!
