beatmania IIDX 30 RESIDENT (AC)

Location test announced.

https://www.konami.com/amusement/topics/24239/

I'm picking up a slight cyberpunk theme.
Also 30 iidx games. Yay.

I don't see a mention that no cameras are allowed, at least according to Google translate, so can't wait to see the new songs and UI.

PLEEEEEASE don't screw this up, Konami; this is the 25th anniversary of Beatmania/Bemani, so this needs to be super special. I'd love to see revivals of 5-Key Beatmania songs, or maybe even an "HD port" of CompleteMix a la DDR 2nd Mix, when X3 came out.

the font is a questionable choice.

Alright, my turn to make my own.




Bonus:

---

Almost looked like the Metal Gear Rising font for a second...

Sweet, been wondering when IIDX 30 would get announced! Love the colors in the logo!

---

So either Resident's good or Resident Evil, win-win

30 games in

---

technically 31, cuz of substream. absolutely bonkers this series has lasted this long.

---

and Infinitas and Ultimate mobile, so actually 33. OH and Premium best.

ok all jokes aside, I really hope they keep the color scheme, looks very nice compared to Bistrover and CastHour

---

I'm glad we're still upholding the tradition of making logo shitposts whenever a new title gets announced.

---

I wish we could get some old licenses from back in the day, stuff like YOU MAKE ME and CALCUTTA, or maybe that eurobeat TAKE ON ME remix. Maybe even DJ Yoshitaka's wonderful cover of GHOSTBUSTERS from GOLD lmao. There's a lot of old KONAMI originals too that I would love to see be revived.

I know that's probably asking a lot, but for a big anniversary like this it would be fun to include songs that have long left the series.

---

Man I know it's a fairly simple song but I'd love a lot if they revived The Sound of Goodbye. I legit loved that era when they had plenty of trance-ish songs in the songlist.

Also, I wonder if they will actually release that supposed Dr. Love remix since this is an anniversary version...

---

as long as the default songlist doesnt suck as much as CH's did we're good

---

I think the theme may be related to crystals...idk.
I suppose we'll get a better idea once that location test banner shows up in photos.

---

Surely this theme has nothing to do with doctors-in-training...right? That would be an odd choice I wonder if it'll be another duality type theme like Pendual since half the font is that dark green futuristic hexagon grid pattern and the other half is a bright crystalline diamond looking texture. Diamond scalpels perhaps? Nah, couldn't be.

This really would be a great opportunity to bring back and mix together the PARALLEL ROTATION and ARC SCORE concepts. I’m not going to hold my breath for anything, as Konami/BEMANI don’t really seem to celebrate anniversaries in a truly meaningful way, but HOPEFULLY they can manage to do something that’s actually special. I’ll be floored if they actually attempt to contact and bring back some older artists to at least contribute one song, or a remix/follow-up to a previous song from theirs in older games.

i love this, especially the colors
