Release Information

beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS logo.
  • Location test: June 25th, 2008 - July 1st, 2008
  • Release date: November 19th, 2008
  • Slogan: 超、頂、蝶、煌く (Chou, Chou, Chou Kirameku) Though it literally means "Super Sparkling Crown and Butterflies", it could be also read to mean "Super, super, super sparkly" due to a pun involving the word "chou" in Japanese.

General Information / Changes

  • The interface is pinks and fuchsias, with a jewel and butterfly motif. The logo returns to the original "beatmania IIDX" one for the first time since beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY.

  • Some new sound effects on the menus.

  • First arcade beatmania IIDX game where all the new songs are given full Double charts.

  • Brings back the Fail Window from 10th style-DistorteD.
  • All dj nagureo songs made after 4th style have been removed from the songlist. Several BeForU songs were removed as well.
