General Information / Changes

• Local Matching function was added, allowing up to 4 people to play linked.
  • Much like the Session Combo during Session play in GuitarFreaks & DrumMania, an "Ensemble Combo" (アンサンブルコンボ) is displayed during gameplay when matching.
• Grade system was added, which gives the players a grade from 1 to 20 according to their gameplay performance.
• "Near" judgment was added, which works similarly to Almost/GOOD judgments of other BEMANI series, giving the player 0 points by pressing a key close to the keys they should have pressed.
  • Since September 6th, 2017, the Near judgment can be switched off at the options menu.
• The function to autoplay left/right hand notes was added. It can be selected during the difficulty selection screen.
• Since September 6th, 2017, Goods no longer breaks the player's combo.
• Category sort during the song selection screen was added on October 18th, 2017.
• A visual effect upon obtaining Full Combo was added.
• In Korea, the title for ノスタルジア FORTE is 노스텔지어 (NOSTALGIA), without change from the first version, likely in order to bypass the deliberation by GRAC.
• On April 1st, 2018, all songs in the Classic/Jazz category had their keysounds replaced with sounds of cats, as an April Fool's joke.
  • The code to revert to the original keysounds was to tap on parts of the touch screen, in order: top, top, bottom, bottom, left, right, left, right. Then press the leftmost key, followed by the rightmost key.This is a variation of the KONAMI code.
• e-amusement support for ノスタルジア FORTE ended on January 31st, 2022.
