Why not more console music remix's in IIDX?

[Quantium]

I was wondering about this the other day. We have the Metal Gear Solid song in BMUS, the 2 Gradius remix's in 10th Style, and the Castlevania remix in 13 Distorted. Why aren't there more of these per release? Konami not only has a huge game library, but I'm sure they could get music from other franchises. Do some from Contra, more Castlevania (some SOTN would kick ass), Silent Hill, etc.

In due time, my friend. beatmania I/III/IIDX series has to keep its good reputation for not whoring out certain kinds of music at certain intervals of time. Balance is the best. =)

^truth

i would rather have them focus on newer CS songs first, THEN if there is a little time they could be like, "hey i remember this theme, lets pay homage to it".


i have to admit though, the gradius remix on 10th ended up well.

[misterCQNZR]

if you want more video game remix stuff play popn.

there's the castlevania medley, another gradius cover that isn't on IIDX, goonies r' good enough, the Zone of the Enders 2 remix on 8 CS, and the Suikoden stuff

[afex.racer_X]

Yeah, I was just going to say that you're forgetting the Code of Arms theme in 10th and the Suikoden theme in Red. Also, wasn't Beyond the Earth a theme for something? I'm probably wrong, but it reminds of something I can't put my finger on.

Or you can play some GFDM, with some songs in the MODEL DD series.

Let's see, Bemani songs from other games:

Bloody Tears (IIDX EDITION)

A-JAX (3-WAY MIX)
Gradius -Full Speed-
Burning Heat

Goemon
Akumajo Dracula Medley
Akumajo Dracula Medley 2 (whatever it's called in Pop'n 15)
Admiral of the Seas (IIDX RED CS)
The Queen's Knights (Pop'n 13 CS)
Your Rain (Rage Mix)
You're Not Here
Super Mario Bros. (from Pop'n 14)
MODEL DD6
MODEL DD7
Satellite187493298 from Coded Arms
Zone of the Enders whatever from Pop'n 8 CS
Metal Gear Solid big beat remix
EE AIR KUNG FU or whatever it's called from KBM

Model DD6 and DD7 are remixes?

DD6 and DD7 are originally from a game called "Metamorphic Force." There are videos on YouTube if you search for "MODEL DD6 Origin" or "MODEL DD7 Origin."

[OrangeRight]

It's not a remix, but IIDX Gold had The Smile Of You, the credits song from Elebits.

If we're counting medleys, Pop'n 13 Carnival had medleys of Rumble Roses, along with Quiz Magic Academy and Mahjong Fight Club.

The song Salamander Beat Crush mix is videogame music, right? Isn't music from the game Salamander? I haven't really played the game itself to be honest.

[Monster in a box]

Doesn't sound a thing like it if it is.

And I agree that more video game music would be a good thing, but not a ton more. Just a little bit. MGS2 theme should've been in IIDX or Pop'n, not DDR.

Actually, yeah, that one too. It's one of the level themes IIRC.

It was in beatmania THE FINAL first if that counts.
