Cancelled Games
We already know about a lot of the Scrapped Songs in BEMANI games. But over the years there have also been scrapped games.
This list is here to point out various BEMANI-related titles that were cancelled. In this case, this list can include international versions of already established games that never saw the light of day, or brand-new games that never took off at all.
This page is under HEAVY construction.
beatmania
beatmania USA sequel
While never officially confirmed, KONAMI indicated at the time of beatmania's launch that if the game was successful enough, a sequel might have been planned. Despite rumors about poor sales numbers, it was actually negative feedback against the game caused KONAMI to cancel any further US games in the series.
beatmania IIDX
beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD US arcade version
In March 2007, KONAMI tried out an English version of beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD across various Dave & Buster's locations in the U.S., in attempts to rally up enough interest in an U.S. arcade release. Nothing ever came out of it afterwards.
DanceDanceRevolution
Dancing Stage SuperNOVA2 (arcade)
The European arcade version of DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 never made it to Europe, due to Sony's refusal of letting the original Japanese PlayStation 2 into European territories. While Europe did receive a PlayStation 2 Dancing Stage title under that name, it was nothing more than a stripped-down version of the North American PlayStation 2 SuperNOVA2 CS game, with only one new license and most of the North American licenses removed.
Karaoke Revolution
カラオケレボリューション BEMANIシリーズセレクション
A cancelled Japan-only entry in the Karaoke Revolution series, focusing entirely on BEMANI songs. All the songs planned were ones with Japanese vocals, with the single exception of Mobo★Moga.
RAP FREAKS
A cancelled BEMANI arcade game about rapping, presumably either KONAMI's answer to the hit 1996 PlayStation music game Parappa the Rapper, or a follow-up/companion title to their successful beatmania series. Very little else is known about the game other than the sound director would have been TOMOSUKE. A few location test pages and a flier are all that are currently archived on the Internet on the game.
