According to the Royalty Network, the game also has the song "Out of Space" by the Prodigy...

"Video Game ‘Pop n’ Music’ to use “Out Of Space”…
“Out Of Space” (Howlett/Miller/Randolph/Smith Thornton/Perry) will be used in the upcoming video game by Konami. We Sub-Publish this song on behalf of Westbury Music (PRS)."



Seems like it would make a fun Pop'n song to play!

Also makes mention of some game called Juke Beat... maybe Konamis attempting an international Jubeat again???

"Video Game ‘Juke Beat’ to use “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” & “Blame It”…
Dead Or Alive song “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” (Burns/Coy/Lever/Percy) and “Blame It” (Brown/Conte/Foxx/Henderson/Melancon/Najm/Nash/Preston/Walker) have been requested to appear in the upcoming video game. We Sub-Publish “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” on behalf of Westbury Music (PRS) and Publish “Blame It” on behalf of Tenyor Music (BMI) and Roynet Music (ASCAP)."

Juke Beat and Jubeat? It sounds way too big of a coincidence if you ask me.

I played this game as well yesterday. What pie-kun said is right. My first feelings about the game are =>

This is a really bad attempt at Pop’n Music on Wii. The game play is the same as normal pop’n music but instead of using your hands to hit the buttons on the controller you move wiimote and nunchuk in several directions. The directions are R, L, D and “clapping”. Forced 5 button....yeah....There is an animated character on the screen that follows your moves but as it seems swooshing down also triggers in most of the cases the left or right note (and vice versa). and I can understand why keysounds weren't used because I would probably go mad because of hitting all those keys in quite random manner.
the poor PNM character on the screen is moving her hands in a really terrible manner and it’s rather confusing and distracting (especially when you play on hyper).
There were three difficulties available and on the highest and most difficult song I got 98% (I totally sucked). It wasn’t even fun but rather frustrating as you can clearly see that the game does not follow your instructions correctly and it lags. It also seemed that you play for a very long time but in this case it might be because you won’t be confirming 700 notes as I’m used to but rather 170 (and maybe even this is overstatement)

The game lost its feel. even though it's not THAT terrible looking as beat'n'groovy. it looks like a bit more cheerful game for nintendo wii but all those nice animations and little things in pnm are not present which is really sad. so well...why be original in nintendo wii games? probably because no one would appreciate it anyway *sniff*.

I'm too tired to write something more coherent. But from what I've seen people actually enjoyed the game and there was always a line to play PNM. (unlike other games at konami stand)

Apparently this is out in 9 days according to amazon.com for North Americans... not that anyone here would buy this.

So, any news, pop'n music is out in North America?

I'm not sure if anyone would be willing to fork out $29.99 for it to be honest...

# Amazon.com Sales Rank: #6,807 in Video Games

Not good at all.

Is there a full song-list for the North American version of this game out there anywhere?

Anyone get this game? I noticed its out on Gamestops web site.

One of my friends bought this game the other day and he can't stop singing it's praises. He LOVES it.

I know, some of you might be saying to yourselves: "How could this be!? Isn't this game far too easy!?" I can answer that with: My friend isn't hung up on difficulty at all.

He was especially excited that some Sana song that wasn't in the Japanese version is in this one.

I think I might pick this game up soon. It's not that expensive and I don't want it to fail.

Although who really knows if it's going to or not, I was looking at some of the press material, and the game is being targeted at young children. The price is just right for those notoriously cheap parents so they can get their kids a quick Wii game. (Perhaps I should be more clear and say "young GIRLS". The box art looks like it's targeting young girls and most parents I've seen would probably avoid the game like the plague if they were buying for young boys.)

...

Oh, has anyone ripped the audio from the JP and US versions yet? *HINT*

I got the game yesterday(nov.27).....my review is that it's an awesome game..
for the songlist it total 40 songs(30 Licenses and 10 / 20 with DLC, K.O.s) but with DLC it 50 total....
for the controls, it easy to play with both wii controls(back part) facing the srceen, and for download-able content....
there 7(as of monday) sets each for 100 wii points

the sets(2 songs for one) are :

1- French Pop
-Dimanche / Orange Lounge
-Une Lette de mon Copain / apresmidi

2- Trance (Hyper)
-full-consciousness green / D-crew
-Psyche Planet-V / Sota Fujimori

3- Techno (normal)
-0/1 Angel / V.C.O. featuring Alt

Edit2: Update these 4 sets are as well as the other sets for 100 wii points
Edit3: added video links to the songs(not from the wii version gameplay but other versions of Pop'n Music/videos using the song)

by this, would they possibly mean SYMPHONIC TECHNO (which is actually RAN) from pop'n music 12?

---

they changed it to RUN for the US release of Pop'n Music
Edit: added video link.......um does anyone know were Seeds of Wish / cosmos is from?

Seeds of Wish is キボウノタネ (Kibou no Tane), from pop'n music 13.
