beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS & PREMIUM BEST (PS2) (Japan)

Me :<

I hate how the Swapmagic discs are such low quality and that they don't fit correctly in the newest PS2 (90001)

Probably most of us, including me... I am not buying a J-PS2 for this.

Same here.

I would think If the moved beatmania to ps3 they would say you have to get a ps2 contoller adapter for your old ps2 controllers to play on ps3 it would work out better in the end ps3 might go up in sales in japan if the ported it to the ps3. also will link beatmania 16 empress ost if people wanna download it

Forgive me if this is a stupid thing to ask but what is score data collection?

Do you know in the PS2 beatmaniaIIDXs where you can select arcade rivals from a database in the game? The database is created from players that played within the score data collection period in the arcade so that their arcade scores can be put into the PS2 game as rival data.

That's what it basically is.

Lol alright thanks, that's nice and all but really why not just input fake data and save a months worth of elapsed time?

Make it make money obviously. How else will KONAMI make people go into the arcades more? By getting people to play for a chance for his or her scores to be on the home version.

And besides, I think the game is a bit too early to come out right now. DJ TROOPERS was only released 5 months ago.

Shhh!! Don't say that! Haha. I wouldn't mind if Empress CS came out early. No one would.

A bit, but we could be close - going by the timeline of home releases, it's usually a new release every 7 or 8 months. The biggest exception was the gap between Distorted and Gold, which was more like 10.

Anyway, even if we do have to wait a little while, if that list stays the same for the actual release, my mind will be completely blown. That disc may never leave my JPS2.

I have a feeling that Empress CS will probably be released around August of this year, even though November wouldn't surprise me either....

---

It's a bit too short notice for it to be released this August, as if it was August, it would've been announced at the same time as pop'n Wii.

Finally!! A release date! October 15th, the 180 songs rumor is true, and it's confirmed to be for the PS2. TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!!!!! Cannot wait for this. I am so pre-ordering this, whenever play-asia opens them.

---

So I'm assuming this means Dual-Layer .

I MUST IMPORT.

But only if it has THE CUBE.

---

Definetly, the cube is WIN. Empress CS is gonna be called "beatmaniaIIDX16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST" I'm assuming this is gonna be the last PS2 IIDX game, but who knows, this is gonna be the best CS release to date.

---

It's not a rumour. The list KONAMI put up had 180 songs since April.

I think it's necessary for me to import this when it comes out. Then...that also means I have to get a JPS2 or a PS3.

I came.

I felt it was necessary to post this as a celebratory video.
