'''''jubeat''''' (pronounced ''you-beat'', which is a portmanteau of the Japanese word ''yubi'' (指, meaning finger) and the English word ''beat'', and known as UBeat, and later jukebeat in North America and Europe), is an arcade music video game developed by Konami Amusement (formerly Konami Computer Entertainment Japan), and is a part of KONAMI's [[BEMANI]] line of music video games since 2008. The original game went on several location tests in Asia since December 2007, and was released on July 24th, 2008. A North American location test for the game as UBeat was announced in August 2008. The cabinet utilizes one widescreen (16:9) in portrait orientation which is split into two main areas; the top 2/5 of which is used for displaying scores and information, and the bottom 3/5 of which is split into 16 panel areas arranged in a 4x4 grid where the main part of the game takes place. Aside from the main game the bottom screen and the panels are used for menus and user interactive sections.
