== Beat Square == | |||
KONAMI at the ''Global Gaming Expo'', or "G2E" for short, 2016 convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, announced ''Beat Square'', a gambling redemption game based on the BEMANI series' jubeat series. Songs would have been 45 seconds in Solo/Single Mode and 90 seconds (or 1:30 minutes) in Tournament Mode. | |||
The G2E 2016 location test only had four songs:<br> | |||
* The Marriage of Figaro (Electronic) | |||
* Promenade (Electronic) | |||
* Rock Vocal (Rock Vocal) | |||
* Rhapsody in Blue (Big Band) | |||
These new songs had no artist credit and genetic jackets, which were also used to present genre. There was also an unknown song used during the skill contest. | |||
The G2E 2017 location test saw the game's name changed to ''Beat Square Tournament'' on the title screen. The announcement trailer for this version can be watched [https://youtu.be/LzIZNXk0Ogg here]. It also presented a new design and UI, and some Konami originals were added (which can be seen on promotional materials, as shown [http://www.intergames.si/news/konamis-creative-new-releases-at-g2e-2017-las-vegas here]):<br> | |||
* [[Timberwolves]] | |||
* [[Baby Bleep March]] | |||
* [[Honoo no Diargos|炎のDiargos]] | |||
* [[Boukoku no historia|亡国のヒストリア]] | |||
* [[Metric]] | |||
* [[Jumping Boogie]] | |||
* [[Shining Star]] | |||
* [[Gimme a Big Beat]] | |||
Beat Square won the "Best Slot Product" in the ''2018 Gaming & Technology Awards'' for having the "most outstanding product among the slot machines exhibited" during the G2E 2017 exhibition. | |||
At the G2E 2018 location test, the game's name on title screen was changed back to "Beat Square" and saw another revision to the UI and design. Most of the old songs from the previous location tests were removed, however, 9 new licenses were added:<br> | |||

* [[I Will Survive]] / Gloria Gaynor | |||
* [[Party Rock Anthem]] / LMFAO | |||
* 24K Magic / Bruno Mars | |||
* [[Break Free|Break Free (feat.Zedd)]] / Ariana Grande | |||
* Come & Get It / Selena Gomez | |||
* Treat Yourself Better / Shawn Mendes | |||
* AIN'T IT FUN / Paramore | |||
A licensed original song was also created for Beat Square: ''Reckless Abandon'' by Whistling Dixies. Supposedly, Beat Square was scheduled for release in 2018, but was pushed back for unknown reasons. | |||

* The bits of information were finite, here's what I could find about Beat Square. Would this be fine to add to the list? - [[User:QueenZ|QueenZ]] ([[User talk:QueenZ|talk]]) 21:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC) |
