beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS (AC) (Japan)

What's probably taking so long is the NECESSARY JEWEL garbage required to access the extra stages. Plus, KONAMI's taken EMPRESS PLACE offline until the 8th due to sloppy programming.

---

Both 卑弥呼(Himiko) by Suzaku VS Genbu and 不沈艦CANDY(Unsinkable Candy Ship) by Risk Junk, have been taken off youtube due to copyright claim by Konami, plus there's no way either Risk Junk, nor Suzaku or Genbu would release songs outside bemani, so this confirms that both songs are indeed Unlockables in empress. When they will be unlocked in Empress is still a mystery.

I'm predicting months, for the beat#2 and beat#3 INTERNET RANKINGs.

Same kind of system used in VIP room with the Cash.

L.E.D. snuck some Nu-Style Gabba on EMPRESS. Oh and sorry about smooooch. I accidentally put in the fanmade one I found the slightly meshed SigSig and smooooch.

---

Hell yes. Nice find, love it!

Me and my girlfriend call BITTER CHOCOLATE STRIKER "Gigadelic Mocha". XD

---

Bemaniwiki confirms that 卑弥呼 is the Empress Place One More Extra Stage.

Apparently it displays the message "WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY 'YAMATAIKOKU'" and has 2119 notes.

o_o!!! 2119...I could barely beat Nageki no Ki...that's ungodly...

---

Oh great, another song that I would fail with flying colours.

Aha, so 2000 isn't the limit for beatmania charts. I thought Konami's editing software had a 2,000 note limit. =p

Meaning the chart linked to in Bemanistyle's IIDX16 EMPRESS thread is likely real.

---

oh GOD, I THINK EMPRESS HAS ITS NEW BEST SONG
AMAZING

---

Yay for more NU STYLE GABBA in IIDX. I still thought THE DEEP STRIKER was better though.

---

It's like terrorcore or something. For some reason it seems like it's missing something. Anyone else feel that way? Seems too hollow like it's missing a melody...or an instrument...or something haha

---

Yeah Gigadelic Mocha needs more Chocolate in it to give some substance.

I am still battling with all this to get HIMIKO. I just wonder what else will be added into the game. Because it seems like they are testing a new scheme. I have never played on an eMusement Machine of IIDX so I might be speaking out of my ass. But it feels like they will release new updates every other month. Because right now EMPRESS has 54 new songs. DJ Troopers had 62.

---

You just described every gabba song.

---

I think it fits Empress nicely. Sure it's not as good as The Deep Striker, but hey that's like my favorite song in IIDX so it's all good. Bring on the nu style, I love L.E.D.

Well, from what I've personally seen from Empress, it's going to be a mixed bag. There are a few good songs in this IIDX. Unfortunately, Empress just doesn't attract me as much as DJ Troopers, which is going to be out in a little over a week (HAPPY)!!. My question on Empress is this. Is Empress suppose to be a IIDX supporting Gays. I've seen some songs in Empress that kinda brings up that question in my head (I'm screaming love....for example). Anyway, when Empress comes out on the home system (probably by the middle of next year), will this IIDX be on the PS2 or PS3 (XBOX ?!). Also too, how many of you will buy the CS? I myself, will probably buy this mix, though I'm not sure if I'll buy the Special Edition.

---

You have a good point, my friend. Not all of these songs are good. (Think the B4U remix)
