Anyone excited for the US release at the end of the month?

I got the bundle preordered, I can't wait.

Fucking fuckers didn't bring it over in '98 like they should have.

it sounds like it's gonna be really weak relative to the japanese releases, but hopefully it'll at least serve as a good introduction for the new player. despite a small effort, the japanese releases are TERRIBLE at this; they need to make the beginner shit even easier than it already is if they honestly hope to catch someone who has never touched a beatmania controller. for these people, failing 5.1.1. beginner over and over again is not a good introductory experience. the songlist being so short is really dumb, though. they have hundreds of songs to draw on, here.

That's Konami USA for 'ya.

Well, this could just be a chance for me to get a controller for cheap and then import the IIDX games.

I'm sick of Konami's blatant disregard for making money off of the US.

Konami knows IIDX is hard for beginners, and it's getting harder in every release. Why they don't make it easier, we don't know. Pop'n Music is more beginner friendly though.

Looks like Konami wants to feed the high elite of the bemani players with 2DX, not the beginners.

And beatmania US is made just for money. It's probably going to be easier.

Why should they make the IIDX series easier?

If you want to learn the game, go pick up the first dual disc release of Beatmania on the PS1.  Go learn on the Cat song or papaya bossa.

As for the American release, as long as the controller  is decent, I'll probably be picking it up for the sims.

beatmania is very easy compared to online games such as DJMAX or O2JAM

Should I buy every previous version for Ps1 and Ps2 so I can be an import completist snob?

Really?  You mean they didn't fuck it up?

The only thing that really sucks is you have to buy two bundles if you want to play 2 player. Either that or import a spare controller.

Isn't it cheaper just to buy another bundle than it is to import one controller? :o

Waits for collection of every song in one box set localized for the US unlike DDR which is like only four games in the US.

I've been waiting for Amazon to ship my miss priced bundle for a while now (39.99).  God damn asses.

is this game actually any good?  i want to pick up a copy, but all the reviews i've read on the web say it sucks.  i'm torn between either believing everything i read on teh intarweb or believing that professional game critics are full of crap.

the base game is still intact and fun, but konami US took the japanese version, gave it a bad songlist and made it ugly. critics rating it low have good reason to do so. that said, it's easily the cheapest way to get into the game and i would recommend buying the shitpile anyway

CAT SONG THEME OF UPA IS THE BEST SONG EVER.

I guess people should buy this, cause no matter how shitty it is compared to the originals, it's STILL IIDX.  And without modding your PS2, it's the best you're gonna get.

It's not bad if you've never played IIDX before `~`
