yeah. Wondering who here is into Bemani gaming.


I'd prefer outside of DDR.
More like...
Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, ParaPara Paradise (<3), Guitar Freaks, Drum Mania, Keyboard Mania, ect. =D

I played beatmania at Ohayocon and thought it was a blast (although hard as all hell). I can't find it anywhere, though (and most online prices are expensive.)

Well a game like that that fills a very specific niche and has a specialized controller is going to be less common and more expensive. Steel Battalion is the same way. To a lesser extent, Guitar Hero.

Me and my friends have just gotten into some other rhythm games:
One of my friends bought Daigasso Band Brothers at Ohayocon, and I recently ordered it...I foresee a big obsession.

My friend's dad also imported Ouendan (japanese Elite Beat Agents), and that's really cool, as well.
