== [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]] ==
* The January 1998 issue of the ''MyCom BASIC Magazine'' (マイコンBASICマガジン) includes a screenshot of an early version of beatmania:
** beatmania is referred by its working title, '''DJ BEATS'''.
** Most notably, the notes are rounded, and the notes on the black keys are gray instead of blue.
** The judgment line is absent.
** Only one GROOVE GAUGE (named GROOVE LEVEL) is used, even if two players are present.
** An audio visualizer graphic is shown below the GROOVE LEVEL gauge.

* During the beatmania 5thMIX -Time to get down- location tests, each song had a separate, unique title card, much like [[AC bm 4th|beatmania 4thMIX -the beat goes on-]]. This was removed in the final release due to memory issues.

== [[AC pnm|pop'n music]] ==
* pop'n music was first unveiled at the AM Show 1998, where it showed some differences compared with the final release of the game:
** pop-kuns were rectangle-shaped.
** The red judgment line at the bottom of the screen was absent.
** [[UNCLE Jam]]'s name was capitalized as '''UNCLE JAM'''.
* The ''pop'n music character illustration book'' includes early sketches for the characters of the first game, alongside their respective genres. The genre for [[YOUNG DREAM|UNCLE Jam]]'s song appears as '''HIP HOP''' instead of RAP.

* [[AC pnm 2|pop'n music 2]] song [[what i want (EURO MIX)]] was originally going to be revived for the ''Euro Course'' (ユーロコース), making it into the location test version of the game. The final game however, replaces it with [[Bit of Love]], with what i want (EURO MIX) not being featured in the game at all. This change was reverted in the [[CS pnm 6|console version of pop'n music 6]], though.
