beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS (CS) (Japan) Support

Hmmm, as expected, KoJ is still unpredictable. I didn't think that jubeat Plus would be such a 'surprise'; I guess our interpretation of 'surprise' is quite different from KoJ's. Anyways, the only true surprise that we got was the announcement of the reproduction of the beatmaniaIIDX KOCs; that is rather hopeful news...even on the page, it says something along the lines of "response to everyone's desires", so my next prediction is that beatmaniaIIDX® 17 SIRIUS CS has a chance of being released in Q3 2011.

The KOCs are being reproduced...surely not for just EMPRESS+PREMIUM BEST.

My hopes wouldn't be too high about SIRIUS CS. I still think they're just gonna release another Premium Best or something. Has Konami themselves explicitly stated that the next IIDX will be a SIRIUS port? (no pun intended) I believe Naoki has just been saying "CS IIDX" instead of "CS SIRIUS" in his tweets.

---

They used to only state CS IIDX when they were doing the score data collection for the RIVAL stuff but it was clear on those webpages which style it was going to be for due to the colours and theme style. We will know for sure if they do score data collection again.

Just a random idea I had while reading this thread: if the game is postponed until next year, the time frame opens up another possibility considering their pattern of releases: SIRIUS+RESORT ANTHEM 2-Disc Set

Unlikely? Absolutely. Awesome? Damn straight. Also explains why Naoki hasn't been saying "CS SIRIUS" but "CS IIDX."

---

That works too I guess. The OST for Resort Anthem should come out in mid-February so hopefully Score Data collection can start by March then.

---

CS SIRIUS PS3 desu!!

---

Omg CS Sirius on Ps2 please!! I dont care what the price is I WILL buy it.

Cool Bump to something we all lost hope in.

I haven't lost all hope for beatmaniaIIDX 17 SIRIUS CS, I still have hope. Actually, I won't begin to lose hope unless nothing else is said about the game between Dec 2010 and Feb 2011.

Surely the KOCs are being reproduced, so why not give people incentive to buy one (or more) of them by announcing SIRIUS CS sometime before the KOC release?

UPDATE: Konami has responded once again!!

It was stated, "Similar to 7th (style)'s case, we are definitely looking forward to considering making SIRIUS CS".

^: This is great news! I really hope that their final decision is in our favor! Man, this is making me so nervous...to think Konami really turned their back on the CS releases of beatmaniaIIDX once again. We all await the final decision. PLEASE KONAMI, PLEASE CONTINUE THE beatmaniaIIDX CS line!!

---

This is great news. Can't wait.

This bodes well for an X2 CS release... In Japan at the very least.

ok, Mission SIRIUSLY has been accomplished, now we move unto Mission Ex-Dos, trying to bring X2 CS into homes EEEEEEVERYWHUR

---

"Similar to 7th (style)'s case, we are definitely looking forward to considering making SIRIUS CS."

Please let this happen ^^ Glad their updating on this

Well, I'm holding my breath until the day I play One of a Kind at home.

---

I can't wait for the eventual arrival of Almagest [b] with chord charge notes at the end.

Well, you just may be holding your breath a bit longer than you'd like...

KONAMI has responded twice more:


"One step at a time for (before) taking off"

AND

"The year 2011 is certainly when the truth of that single dream (SIRIUS CS) will be revealed. Good luck!"



Still unpredictable, but then again, I just recently heard some strange rumor. Anyways, hopefully, this "truth" will be revealed pretty soon; my prediction still stands----Final decision before KOC re-release, which feels around late January~February.

---

Can you link to that tweet? I can't seem to find it.

Never mind, found it: http://twitter.com/#!/konamistyle/status/20512044956516352

In all honestly, I think KONAMI will end up making it.
It'd be great too!

Now I just need to mod my PS2 to play Japanese imports...

---

Big question is, would it be PS2 or PS3.

I really hope PS2. I don't want to go out an buy a Japanese PS3 and IIDX controller just for one game.
Unless they finally decided to give America another chance with IIDX. That'd be amazing.
