Cancelled Games: Difference between revisions

Unused graphics for an European release of [[AC DDR Solo BASS|DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX]] can be found on the [[AC DDR Solo 2000|DanceDanceRevolution Solo 2000]] data, including warning screens on English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

According to [[Richard Lane|DJ Silver]], a sequel for [[CS DDR MARIO|DanceDanceRevolution with MARIO]] was planned, with remixes directly based on original tracks and sounds from several games in the franchise. Ten songs were made before the project's cancellation.  

The European arcade version of [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]] never made it to Europe, due to Sony's refusal of letting the original Japanese PlayStation 2 into European territories. BEMANI Python 2, the hardware SuperNOVA2 ran on, was simply a retail PlayStation 2 with added I/O boards. While Europe ''did'' receive a PlayStation 2 Dancing Stage title under [[CS DS SuperNOVA2|that name]], it was nothing more than a stripped-down version of the [[CS DDR SuperNOVA2 NA|North American PlayStation 2 SuperNOVA2 CS game]], with [[Cara Mia|one new license]] and most of the North American licenses removed.

A planned adaption of [[AC jb|jubeat]] for the Western market, with a different title to emphasize its correct pronunciation. A few location tests were held in the US and Europe alongside [[AC DDR X|DanceDanceRevolution X]], featuring [[AC jb#UBeat Location Test|a different songlist]] compared to the Japanese original. Nothing ever came out of it afterwards, and the UBeat-exclusive licenses were never added to jubeat, though a few were later added to the mobile [[CS jukebeat|jukebeat]] with different charts.

Similarly to UBeat, a localized version of [[AC jb ripples|jubeat ripples]] was tested under the name jukebeat in the US and Europe, also with [[AC jb ripples#jukebeat Location Test|a different songlist]]. Just as with UBeat, it never saw full release in either territory, although [[CS jb plus|jubeat plus]] would later see release in those territories under the [[CS jukebeat|jukebeat]] name.

''Karaoke Revolution BEMANI series selection'' (カラオケレボリューション BEMANIシリーズセレクション) is a cancelled Japan-only entry in the ''Karaoke Revolution'' series, focusing entirely on BEMANI songs. Most of the 70 songs planned were ones with Japanese vocals, though a few English and French songs were also planned. It was announced on November 11th, 2004 via KONAMI's Custom Factory page. Due to lack of interest, Karaoke Revolution BEMANI series selection was cancelled on February 8th, 2005.

A deluxe version of [[AC PPP|ParaParaParadise]] that had support for three players, a widescreen display and an upgraded sound system. The song list was identical to the regular version. Only a single cabinet was made, and was used by KONAMI at trade shows to promote the game [https://mobile.twitter.com/ARCADE_LAB/status/1424537714901221377].

In December 2020, KONAMI announced a sequel to pop'n music peace titled [[AC pnm Kaimei riddles|pop'n music 解明リドルズ]]. As a result, KONAMI scrapped the plans that were left for NEW pop'n music Welcome to Wonderland!.

A mobile version of SOUND VOLTEX, whose interface was based on that of [[AC SDVX VW|SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE]]. First announced in JAEPO 2019, and last shown at Tokyo Game Show 2019. Nothing else has been said about the game since then.

Read as "Otoiroha", the game was similar to SOUND VOLTEX in terms of gameplay, with four transparent buttons over the screen, like jubeat, and two sliders on the side of the cabinet that needed to be slid into certain positions, much like the knobs of SOUND VOLTEX. The game was revealed at JAEPO 2016 alongside [[AC NST|ノスタルジア]], but no news about it was heard afterwards, and KONAMI quietly cancelled the game later that year. (ノスタルジア, despite being marketed as the minor release of the two - and initially not even part of the BEMANI family - ended up being fully developed, and was released on March 1st, 2017.)

As of January 31st, 2017, on the eAMUSEMENT app, Otoiroha's character image tag and the ability to select the game series as a favorite were removed without an announcement. While the website is still up for the game, it hasn't been updated since its reveal. Its few originals have since appeared in [[AC jb clan|jubeat clan]] and [[AC RB Reflesia|REFLEC BEAT 悠久のリフレシア]].

After the second location test, this game was never heard from again, not even being mentioned at JAEPO 2019. Several of the anime remixes intended for it have appeared in [[AC jb festo|jubeat festo]], [[AC NST Op.2|ノスタルジア Op.2]], and [[AC SDVX VW|SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE]].
