DanceDanceRevolution A3 (AC)

I'd be very sad if the iconic IOSYS songs they added for A3 get removed the next game. Overdrive and Marisa specifically.

Close to 0% chance of that happening IMO, overdrive for example has been in bemani for over 10 years now. Touhou licenses are immortal (as they should be)

---

Crazy Hot and Together Going My Way being eternal licenses:
that awful cirno edm remix by roughsketch also being an eternal license:

---

Even a god can miss :p

---

now if only they could make that Knights of Night remix available to us on the other side of the pacific

Continue to the real world? ESP 16 (O4MA.)

New Course Trial has been announced - EPILOGUE, consisting of the following songs:

The flower in your smile
ヒマワリ
ALL MY HEART
Next FUTURE (from GFDM Matixx)

EPILOGUE...

This must mean we have a new mix on the horizon...

imagine if epilogue actually just means KONAMI's killing off ddr again

To paraphrase the great philosopher Yahtzee Croshaw, I miss the days when arcade games were a thing the operator bought and then owned, rather than something you are temporarily permitted to occupy in return for tithes and devotion as you pray that their meager offerings please the gods and stave off the inevitable coming of the great server shutdown.

Losing songs in this game will never cease to be awkward, especially when it has the added effect of snatching away courses.

On the subject of HinaBitter, I have some trouble understanding the thought process of this BEMANI-wide (sorta) event.
For the other games involved, you get the new songs or can unlock them and other Hina/Coconatsu songs or both.
DDR? Pay up.
Unless you buy the song packs, you get one new song and that's it. I do know it means the songs will be freely available a year later, but this is honestly the first time I am not okay with this method being used. I don't even care much about the eAmuse card contest thing they're having as I don't live in Japan and can't even access the website, but at least half of those songs could've been free now with the Yvya and ZAQUVA remixes being Extra Saviors.

On the upside, I've always wanted more Coconatsu in DDR and Finally Dive is in my top 3, so glad to know I'll eventually be able to play it.

New challenge chart for Run The Show coming on the 4th!

Encore Extra Stage also being bumped down to Normal gauge.

EES with Normal Gauge would've sounded like the strangest thing to say not even 5 years ago (but I guess with Galaxy Stage also being downgraded to Normal it was gonna happen eventually)

Run the Show has a solid chart, but as we've seen, anything can happen with

Edit: a word

Run the Show's charts are Shock Arrow 16s
