pop'n music Wonderland! (AC)

New pop'n music installment shown at JAEPO

---

POP’N AND DIVA COMBINE!!

---

I really hope this is not going to be Pop'n going forward. Completely changing the format of the game did wonders for REFLEC BEAT.

---

As long as the game does not cut songs 1000+ songs and needing to be re-charted because of the new format this will move pop'n forward.

---

I'm guessing it will be like maimai DX where the original charts sit alongside new ones.

Those new buttons looking a lil small ngl

Why the amiibo system

---

Because people will pay money to buy them.

I've just heard about Wonderland and good golly this seems disastrous as whenever pop'n changed their art style in Lapistoria

Look, it's still too early to call it "the death of pop'n music". Sure, REFLEC BEAT died a slow death when its gameplay mechanics got mangled too much, but right now, it doesn't seem to be the case for pop'n. The core mechanics are still there, just with a new extra control surface.

Hang on. This is supposed to be a spin-off, so the OG series can still continue.

I honestly call this "Pop'N Voltex", because you have to occasionally swipe the touchpad, and sometimes guide the buttons along with it, like SDVX.

Watch R1 get these games instead of a newer OG Pop'N. XD

the buttons are really smol.

---

I actually really like the look of this, tbh

---

please say sike

Those new character (models? they certainly ain't sprites anymore) designs are fucking godawful, and these buttons are waaaaay too small. Slider's neat, though.

Late to the party to talk about this, but...

This game looks like complete garbo. I like the idea of an Alice in Wonderland themed pop'n music game, but not when you gut its characters out, scrap its charts, make the buttons tiny, and make the machine look like a game for kindergartners a la Toy's March.


0 indication from Konami this is anything BUT pop'n music 26. Lapistoria debuted at a JAEPO as well. I doubt this is a spinoff.

Imagine The Dirty of Loudness appearing in that game... Mashing the buttons will be easy

NEW pop'n music Welcome to Wonderland! marks a full reboot of the pop'n music franchise, with a brand-new cabinet, game mechanics and more.
-The control panel has been completely overhauled. The buttons have been made smaller and moved closer to the front of the machine to make room for a touch panel. The touch panel is used for two new note types:
- "Light pop-kun" (ライトポップ君) notes can be hit either with the buttons or by tapping the touch panel in the correct position.
-"Flick pop-kun" (フリックポップ君) note have you flick the touch panel to the left or right.
-A barcode reader has been added to the top-right part of the control panel to allow for scanning in player characters.
-Rival characters now use 3D models instead of the traditional sprites.
-A new rating scale has been introduced. The location test currently only features Normal and Hyper charts.
-GROOVE GAUGE is now vertical and on the immediate right of the player character; MUSIC TIMER is also now vertical and moved to the right side, to the left of the rival character.
-New fonts are used for score, BPM, combo, and judgements.
-Genres and backgrounds for songs prior to pop'n music Sunny Park, as well as their old rival characters, have been removed. It's currently unknown if they will appear in the final release.
- The banners for returning songs have their genres and characters intact, while the banners for the new songs display the song title and artist instead.
-Banners have been moved to the far left corner of the music select screen.
-Rival characters for songs no longer appear on music select.

Why have you wrote that wall of text from RemyWiki?

probably because it's useful to have information about the game on the thread for it :)
