It'll probably be a CD shipped with your order. 2000 downloads of something could get a little bandwidth intensive, depending on size.

I'm so glad I earned mad money this summer, first the DA IIDX controller somewhere between this and next month, Star Fox DS at the end of this month(drools), Final Fantasy XII end of October, and finally HS in November(Hopefully earlier...) I love working XD

+Why do they like V so much as to keep it on almost every home version?

Alonso · 08-10-2006, 10:38 PM

Awesome, can't wait for the release date.

b00geyman · 08-10-2006, 10:47 PM

Electro Tuned is back!, about fucking time, it's the one 3rd Style track I've been waiting to see revived for God knows how long.

factorx1112001 · 08-11-2006, 10:21 PM

I'm glad VJ Army is returning

, I really wish they would revive 19, November too...But then there goes the a LITTLE novelty to 6th Style. Maybe in DD 19, Nov. will show up...ALONG WITH MARMALADE REVERIE!?!?! ....that was subtle of me D: *Shrug*

I'm rocking the hell out of Rakuen the second this mix gets home and smoking a fatty with it.

DKW · 08-12-2006, 05:45 AM

Wow. So soon. November, December, whenever, that didn't take long.

Cool. In the three months or so I've been playing this in the arcade, it's become one of my all-time favorites, and because it's so bright and cheerful and colorful. Not to mention an astonishingly diverse music list even for Bemani (Toe Jam! Little Little Princess! Sigsig! Rakuen!). I never understood why Beatmania was supposed to be this miserable, colorless experience, nor why it needed to avoid any comparison to Pop 'n Music, assuming that's even freaking possible.

The fact is, cuteness and listenability and melody always has been and always will be a part of IIDX, and this has always been one of its main draws for me. I'm not the least bit ashamed to admit that it took me a while to get into Red (even 10th didn't take too long) precisely because it was the "technically best" or "most musically correct" Style at the cost of diversity. There was no instant grab; no 19, November, Still My Words, Rislim, Fantasy, Sweet Lab, Everyday Lovelyday, or Honey. Happy Sky is full of them; heck, the barebones no-unlocks-whatsoever list had at least six.

The only sad thing is that I won't have much of a reason to go to HB's anymore unless they decide to upgrade to Distorted, and that's doubtful. Other than that, this is going to rule like nothing other. I think it's wonderful that Konami finally did away with all the pretense and BS and made it just a really fun music game again. And yes, I feel exactly the same way about Distorted.

(P.S. I know that the notecharts are getting way too freakin' hard, but whaddya gonna do at this point.

Haha, Happy Sky has many many hard notecharts. But just wait for DistorteD.

pvcRiot · 08-12-2006, 11:46 AM

I'm really sick of V being in every mix. They should just make A the new V or something. I hope when they announce the rest of the revivals (assuming there are more) there won't be anymore that are older than 6th, plus these don't really scream expert courses to me.

k.i.s.a.m.a. · 08-12-2006, 04:54 PM

Oooh la laaaaave. that's kida a shocker. Dr. Love?

mariomario · 08-14-2006, 10:06 AM

This songlist has me pretty excited. All the new stuff from Happy Sky plus some of my favorites are revivals. This game can't get released soon enough.

Don't forget that V wasn't in RED. We at least got a one game break from it. Still, Konami should realize that anyone who owns a iidx style after 5th thats not RED already has V and doesn't need multiple copies of it.

DKW · 08-14-2006, 11:31 PM

It's not the preponderance of V that bothers me, it's all the songs that get repeated to death, especially since these tend to be incredibly tricky, annoying beasts. There was a while that I thought I'd never see the end of Get On Beat Wild Style. Or Presto. Or B4U. Meanwhile, 19 November still has yet to see a second game, and still no word on any of the really worthwhile 9th Style numbers. (You'd think at least Bad Boy Bass would warrant the time of day...)

Dr. Love? I have to go with the consensus here: Where'd that come from? My guess is a dancepop-themed Expert course. It's usually those damn Expert courses.

red shoe paul - Believe me, I hope they take their good sweet time porting Distorted over (and pity too, since there are some really nice songs that nobody ever talks about). To their credit, they at least released Distorted at the right time...i.e, after a whole bunch of easier installments.
