Release Information

 

  • Location test dates: June 13rd, 2014 - June 15th, 2014
  • Release date: September 17th, 2014
  • Slogan: 時、行き交わう。弐つの振音

General Information / Changes

  • The subtitle "PENDUAL" is a portmanteau of "pendulum" (hence the time theme) and "dual".
  • The Pendulum system is introduced, which cycles the theme appearance between a "Present Phase" and a "Future Phase", with changes on the interface, background music and with their own exclusive songs.
    • The Present Phase (gray skin) is active from Tuesday to Friday, while the Future Phase (purple skin) is active from Saturday to Monday.
    • On the song selection screen, Present Phase songs sit on a white background frame, while Future Phase songs sit on a purple background frame.
    • On the in-game clock, the year displayed is 2014 in the Present Phase, and 2222 in the Future Phase.
  • EX-COMBO option is introduced. Instead of the combo count, it shows the EX-SCORE next to the judgment rank during gameplay.
  • R-RANDOM (Rotation RANDOM) option is introduced, which lets the player offset patterns by a set (from +1 to +6) amount of lanes. It may also be used with the MIRROR option.
  • EXPAND-JUDGE option is introduced. Increases the GREAT timing window, but score and clear lamps with this option are not saved.
  • The old RANK font in the result screen returns.
  • Titles of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL songs are written with a pink font.
  • The Present Phase BGM of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL is made by 猫叉Masterβ2, while the Future Phase BGM is made by L.E.D..
  • With the removal of song genres in pop'n music ラピストリア, beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL is the only BEMANI game as of late 2014 to continue having music genres for its new songs.
  • VANESSA's background video, which was removed in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro, is revived.
  • Theme: Time.
