熱闘! BEMANI Stadium

http://p.eagate.573.jp/game/bemani/playball/p/index.html

New BEMANI event, seems like BEMANI Gakuen but this time it includes all current BEMANI title.
More info on the next BEMANI Namahousou, 12th December.

---

This just renewed my hopes on the revival of those sports-related licenses from DDR Extreme.

---

All titles? Oh hell. :/ Well, I just hope BEMANI Gakuen continues when this event starts. I'm just about 50% done with the event. Loving how all the games have been turned into baseball teams. haha

---

YESSSSss. I was just thinking it's been a while since DDR got a new song.

---

Did anyone get any new info for this event from UStream or YouTube?

---

It's going to be explained on next week Ustream with a video live program, and Yoshitaka + Taka as the main casters + guests...just like Bemani Gakuen >.>
Yesterday was just the announce dropped at the end (I honestly didn't see it coming since the main point was Reflec Beat)
I somehow hope they won't include too much DEA, Voltex and FTT in this, kind of like Gakuen (playing it helps, but isn't necessary)

A baseball themed event... should be pretty interesting, and yes, thank god DDR is included. Like others said, it needs new songs pronto.

---

For a second there, I thought they were bringing back DDRMAX, lol!//

---

Cool, my two favorite things - bemani and baseball come together lol.

Although I would have guessed that the next all bemani event would be in the spring. Particuarly a baseball themed one.

The URL made me think that playball by sanodg was coming to all Bemani.

Stop it Konami, you twisting my melon, man ;/

---

lol How come DDR has no mascot?

---

Might as well be Baby-lon, the little guy seems like a viable mascot. Disco and some others doesn't seem to fit in at some of these events.

It's a parody of Hokkaido's team logo (Hokaido's team colours are blue and pink).

Try again.

The image in question appears to be a homage to a similar logo, trademarked and used commercially by the Hokkaido Fighting Hams baseball team, as both the image in question and the famous and logo feature a baseball, placed inside a star and encircled by a red ellipse.

However, as a humorous parody, Konami have replaced the 4-pointed star of the Hokkaido logo with the 4 panels of a DDR machine, and replaced the font with a modified version of their famous Dance Dance Revolution logo! This is intended for comedy, as many people in Japan may associate the trademark pink and blue colour sceheme of Dance Dance Revolution with a similar colour scheme employed by the aforementioned baseball team!

Ok, yes, the logos are similar, but the team colors aren't close to DDR's blue and pink at all.

I don't get the argument? It's Baseball themed homage. It's no different from the Rhythm & Police background being a visual homage to the movie that the song comes from.

Weird. Guess they can't decide on a color scheme. Guess that makes Yu Darvish feel right at home with his MLB team.

Oh, and I just noticed jubeat is the only logo that includes its current version in the logo too...not like that's going to change anytime soon.

Sound Voltex too has its "infinite infection" written in the logo

So, the event will start the 19th.

By playing any of the Bemani game, you get cards of the characters and composers.
With those cards, you get to create a baseball team, levelling them up (by playing more), and then win "baseball matches" to unlock new songs.
There will be rare cards as well (like one obtained only from pop'n rhytmin)

The event will be in 2 parts.
First part will have some interesting artists combinations too, with a Venus+Izumi song, LED+wac, 96+S.C.U, Pon+Tag as well as some "normal" individual songs (asaki, akhuta, etc...)

One of the points I'm not sure about is if the songs are unlocked for all games or not
Also, it doesn't look like you have to play all the games (though I guess if you aim for all cards, you'll have to...)

Looking forward to the ones in bold. LOL at the italicized one since that happened twice in IIDX already.
