2011

2011 would signal the beginning of a series of events that would not only come to shape BEMANI, but the current arcade rhythm game market as a whole. The first of these was the promotion of beatmania IIDX programmer Kenji Watanabe to director of the beatmania IIDX series. Many of his decisions would bring the series into a new era, starting with beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle.

Lincle introduced a handful of new concepts to the series. The first of these is Qpro, an avatar character that can be customized by the player with the usage of Qpro parts. The EXTRA STAGE system, Lincle Kingdom, also expanded on the boss concept seen in the MILITARY SPLASH EXTRA STAGE system in DJ TROOPERS. Lincle's most notable addition, however, is STEP UP MODE, a mode designed to introduce and ease brand new players into the gameplay of IIDX. Sound-wise, it brought in many new, younger faces to the series, some of whom would stick on board for future titles.

GuitarFreaks & DrumMania also kept moving forward with GuitarFreaksXG2 & DrumManiaXG2 Groove to Live. KONAMI continued to push the new XG series, focusing less and less on the original V series. GuitarFreaks V8 & DrumMania V8 ended up being the last entry in the V series and the style of gameplay introduced by the XG series became the main format.

While IIDX and GFDM went in new directions, DanceDanceRevolution decided to take a look back at its roots. DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX is what some would call a love letter to the classics, making an HD version of DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX into its own separate playable mode from the main game as well as reviving almost every playable song from 2ndMIX. The mode even received its own remastered soundtrack release, DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK presented by ダンスマニア.

Meanwhile, following the success of jubeat and REFLEC BEAT, KONAMI planned the release of another new game which underwent location testing in mid-2011. Little did anyone know just what would become of it when it made its debut in 2012.
