jubeat plus / jukebeat (iOS/Android)

New copious pack out for jubeat plus!

copious pack 04
WONDER WALKER - L.E.D. 6/9/10
yellow head joe - S.C.U - 7/10/10
[E] - dj MAX STEROID - 6/8/10
The Wind of Gold - kors k - 5/8/10

Things to note:
This is likely the highest difficulty song pack released in jubeat plus, with all 4 songs having 10s on EXT.

The Wind of Gold appears to be a brand new KO, as it has not been seen in jubeat copious (or any other game) yet.

It's definitely the hardest Jubeat Pack to date. Beating out Pack 6 which has 3 10s and one 9 on Ext.

That said, I'm surprised Konami decided to release both WONDER WALKER and yellow head joe this early. Seeing as they are fairly recent songs compared to the other copious songs.

And I haven't even unlocked yellow head joe on the AC version yet. Dammit.

I posted on kors k's Facebook status:

Tell Konami to add it to jukebeat for EU/US players so we can "check it out"!

In response to his status:

kors k - The Wind Of Gold is released on jubeat plus(iPad)
Check it out!

Yeah, we could "check it out" if it was available...

The Wind of Gold is from copious APPEND, which will be released on March.

I tried yellow head joe, it's EXT chart isn't that bad. Air Raid and FLOWER are both harder imho.

well the jukebeat page "liked" a fanmade fanpage of jubeat copious.

so 3 10s left which are ALBIDA, Far east nightbird, and GIGA BREAK then 5 level 10s are released on copious packs. I assume they will release it eventually after they release those 3 LMAO

Well, some of the later packs have been breaking the mold a bit--the latest Konami pack comes to mind, with two 9s on EXT instead of one of each 10, 9, 8 and 7. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but a lot of released content for jukebeat coincides with released content for jubeat plus--we're still missing a lot of KOs, sure, but at least there aren't large gaping holes in the songlist (I.E. leaving out most of, say, knit). We'll be getting them, and seeing as how Konami's breaking their pattern, we might be getting them soon.
"Soon", of course, taking on a relative meaning, so we should probably be watching out for it by the beginning of next year when Konami releases lawnmower pack 7 or something.

We're getting pretty Fascination MAXX with those ratings. Waiting for a song to get 9/10/10.

I think jubeat should adopt the "10+" rating that REFLEC BEAT has; yellow head joe's ratings are little confusing at the moment.

Fascination MAXX--or, better example, Pluto Relinquish isn't a 10 on Expert, Challenge and Difficult by the same severity, though--the ratings are more for shock and presence value ("I AM A BOSS SONG, HEAR ME ROAR") than real "difficulty" proper; personally, I'd rate PR Difficult a 9, but it might be curved due to general difficulty on that level but that's a discussion for some other board and now I'm getting off topic. Anyway, it might be nice to have there be 10s and then those "gold 10s" (where the 10 is put in a fancy gold font like it normally is) to make the distinction.

Also, an afterthought--I know it's a strange thing to be concerned about, but I find it a bit odd that Konami hasn't released any themes for jubeat plus or jukebeat yet--already the series is at the end of copious in Japan, and still the iOS only has classic and ripples themes. It might be nice for them to release the knit and copious themes, maybe as DLC or maybe as an update to the app itself. It doesn't matter that much (the songlist is, after all, more important), but given that IIDX gets around 7 frames per home release (at least I think it was 7 with DistoreD CS...) and that we're already this far into jubeat's lifespan... I dunno. Maybe I'm just being neurotic.

It would be nice, I agree but I'd rather see more songs for jukebeat first.

Well, they did say they are a small team. I'm sure they're working hard to bring up more packs.

I'm actually curious at how much effort needs to be put in to:

1. Bundle 4 songs already on jubeat plus for jukebeat.
2. Upload it.
3. Activate it on iTunes Connect.

Can't be that hard surely? 15-30 minute job max, if that.

all I can say for now is that jukebeat needs more variety on the license packs.

It's worth noting that Snow Goose is one of jubeat plus's default songs, so you could play this one for free if you make a Japanese iTunes account.

New songpack for jubeat plus. Something like a LAST EXILE pack.

Konami are tapping into the rich and exciting market of "unsuccessful cartoons from 10 years ago" :{
