Why the HELL would they remove the banners??? I'm not a huge fan of pop'n music like that, but still, the banners have always been a main thing in the series. I could understand if this was a brand new generation of pop'n music and they wanted to overhaul the look of the interface, but this is stupid.

Does KONAMI plan to replace them with cover artwork?

---

same reaction.

---

Nothing surprising at all, since they suppress the BGA in DDR and GF&DM (and lowered in IIDX), and the "new" bemani games aka Reflec Beat, Jubeat and Sound Voltex Booth have 0 BGA, I guess they're trying to focus on the gameplay instead of the media.

---

this is a sad thing.

There's a big difference between removing something that takes a good amount of time and effort (BG videos) and something that takes a LOT less (the pop'n music banners, while simple, worked).
I know Konami wanted to give a new makeover to the interface again (songs are sorted by name instead of genre now, there's a IIDX-esque songwheel, the hi-speed preview, etc.), but removing something that has worked since pop'n music 6 is upsetting.

In other news, the removal list:

タッチ (pop'n music 8)
Somebody Stole My Gal (pop'n music 9)
GOONIES "R" GOOD ENOUGH (pop'n music 10)
ガッチャマンの歌 (pop'n music 10)
アンパンマンのマーチ (pop'n music 11)
「名探偵コナン」メイン･テーマ (pop'n music 12)

ウォーアイニー (pop'n music 19)

Basically Konami removed every old license with the exception of BAROQUE HOEDOWN, 残酷な天使のテーゼ, and both ALI PROJECT and 筋肉少女帯 songs.

And a mockup of how the interface looks: http://twitpic.com/a1ivzq

Bumping again because the first secret song has been unlocked:
TWINKLE POP / Twinkle Wonderland / Qrispy Joybox feat.Sana

---

No seriously look up that song, it's hilarious...

---

We know this is license. Btw, is this the first advice about NAOKI is in fact leaving Konami?

DRAGON SOUL has gone so soon. I won't miss that song. I miss the old Dragon Ball licenses.

---

ホタルノヒカリ was removed. Does this mean that Megumi Tatsumi is leaving Konami? No.

It just means that Konami dropped the license, nothing else. If Naoki is in fact leaving, we'll just have to wait and see if he doesn't have any new songs in Sunny Park/colette/tricoro/etc.

---

Surprised that I'm the 1st person to say anything about Twinkle Wonderland being added. I think it's a nice addition. Also, the genre for Koen (the PON song also in RB colette.) is iffy, IMO. SCARLET, really?

---

Wrong.

---

Technically, you're right. What I meant was that I was the 1st person to give feedback about the addition.

---

Staff blog posted up two pics of the interface:

Weird, the old scale is being used on the pics

---

doesn't look so bad, this interface. =)

---

That looks rather good, actually. Of course, I say that in the knowledge that I'll never be able to play it.

Also I'd rather people stop quoting big images when they're already on the same page. Yes, you, guy above me. I'm talking to you.

---

me? uhm... ok. it's my fault. ^^''''''

---

A little bit minimal / simpliflied skin but nice skin.

It would fit perfectly on a future version of pop'n portable also.

I just will miss custom fonts for each song title.

---

I was gonna mention this, yeah. I'd look nice to spice up the bit boring songwheel. Otherwise it looks fine.

However I don't like the option select screen, it really lacks the banner :/
