beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS (CS) (Japan) Support

This thread could use a lock before more false prophecies are told.

Well, they are just pathetic speculations that we shouldn't have jumped on...

I think that this thread should live as long as the petition is running.

agreed. more people know this, the better..

It's asking about the new IIDX controllers. They're scheduled for March.

It has been a while, folks!

Something is happening at Social Factory. Nearly all of the items that were up for consideration have failed to execute due to lack of interest from consumers, and now SIRIUS CS requests have exploded in there once again! Final consideration remains for two items---Popular Konamistyle Original Character Poll (T_T) and pop'n music associated merchandise ideas.

It's looking like SIRIUS CS has a good chance of being up for actual consideration soon.

P.S. - Looks like ZIV's SIRIUS CS Support banner has been taken down yet again. xD

Don't mess with my ruined hopes.

OK, so I need someone to convince me that the chance that SIRIUS CS will be out is still exist.

---

This is dumb.

Deleted.

Happy April Fools. Oh wait, just kidding.

---

Would have been legit if you said Gamecube.

.

---

Would have been more believable if you hadn't included this.

---

and this

poorly executed, I must say. 2/10 for an April Fools' joke attempt

---

Guys, it's over. The fact that the Sirius CS matter already had 2 april fools' jokes should be a clear indication.

^: lol

Anyways, it's not over yet!! Social Factory has come to a stand-still, and the demand for the continuation of beatmaniaIIDX CS is still relatively high considering how much time passed! Here are a few possibilities:

Possibility #1
-When Social Factory starts back up, SIRIUS CS/IIDX CS continuation may emerge as the next project due to tallying of all accumulated inquiries for the game. It is absolutely clear that many people in Japan want this, and Konami knows it.

Possibility #2
-Konami may have decided to address everything at once at the cost of our misery. With beatmaniaIIDX 20 tricoro being HD and possibly (probably not) the last IIDX game, maybe they've been saving up for the opportunity to utilize an HD format for future IIDX CS due to the changes in up-to-date TVs. Many people couldn't enjoy IIDX CS as much on an LCD TV even with EMPRESS CS's revamped timing adjustment, AND the game did not accommodate an HD experience, which also affected sales in that era. The PS2 (my favorite console) was/is outdated, therefore, perhaps in a single release---beatmaniaIIDX 17~20 (HD format) for PS3 with DLC.

Possibility #3
-In the same footsteps of the past...years aside, let's talk styles time frames. Remember 8th style CS, it was released shortly after IIDX RED AC [3 styles ahead]; perhaps this phenomena may occur with SIRIUS CS because as of today, we're nearing this breaking point.


Unexplained Mysteries That May Affect IIDX CS Probabilities
-pop'n music CS went handheld like a bitch; pop'n music 14 FEVER was the last legacy arcade port on PS2
-pop'n music 14 CS had sales that were subpar
-The PS2 console could have ran pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE~pop'n music 20 fantasia
-GuitarFreaks & Drummania V3 CS was the last legacy arcade port on PS2
-GFDMV3 CS sales were great, yet GFDMV4 and up weren't ported, and V4 CS was a high demand item
-The PS2 console could have ran GFDMV4~GFDMV8
-Dance Dance Revolution X CS was the last legacy arcade port on PS2; sales were barely OK
-DDR X's song list was horrible, but due to how pretty the machine was, it racked up some sales
-The US got a version of DDR X2 CS and also DDR (PS3 w/pad) while Japan got nothing
-DDR X2 AC's song list is world's ahead of DDR X AC's, and the demand for X2 CS JP is still relatively high
-The PS2 could have ran DDR X2~DDR X3 (vs 2ndMix)


As of now, I don't know what the hell's going on at Konami Japan. Things have been slow and silent these past few months. I don't know whether they're working on something or secretly fighting a lawsuit. Surely they can't be going bankrupt with all the money they've been making with their mobile/social gaming strategies: e-Amuse, festivals, tournaments, and Paseli.

---

Realistically, unless all their alternative revenue sources die off I don't see them making IIDX CS in the near future...

I could be wrong but I think Konami Japan would just be saving up in order to make a newer games for the PS3 since it may cost a lot or requires time to work on them. We'll just have to see what happens because it's a 50-50 chance of getting it or not.

Go back to mom's basement and leave us alone good sir.
