In addition to all their previous series of the following years receiving brand-new games, which all had several new installments this year, KONAMI released '''three''' new BEMANI series: '''Dance Maniax''', [[KEYBOARDMANIA]] and '''ParaParaParadise'''. They also released ''another'' spinoff of beatmania; [[AC bm III|beatmania III]]. | ||
2000 also saw the year of KONAMI slowly transitioning to more powerful consoles for their BEMANI series. With the exception of Dance Maniax, all of this year's new BEMANI series ran on the more powerful BEMANI FIREBEAT HARDWARE, which allowed for more space and better graphics. pop'n music even began using it this year, beginning with [[PnM_AC_4|pop'n music 4]]. Curiously, KONAMI continued to run the original beatmania series on BEMANI DJ-MAIN HARDWARE, and beatmania IIDX, DanceDanceRevolution, and GUITARFREAKS/drummania would continue to run on PlayStation-based hardware for a few more years. (Dance Maniax ran on KONAMI BEMANI SYSTEM 573 DIGITAL, the same hardware used for [[AC DDR 3rd|DanceDanceRevolution]] through [[AC DDR EXTREME|EXTREME]], as well as [[AC GF3DM2|GUITARFREAKS 3rdMIX & drummania 2ndMIX]] through [[AC GF11DM10|GUITARFREAKS 11thMIX & drummania 10thMIX]]. '''MAMBO A GOGO''' would also run on this the following year.) | 2000 also saw the year of KONAMI slowly transitioning to more powerful consoles for their BEMANI series.
