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 7thMIX + THE FINAL

Press releases around 2003/2004 mentioned the planned home release of the final titles of the original 5-Key series as one package on PS2 (probably alongside porting the beatmania III songs and using III THE FINAL's engine). However, despite the listing, nothing past the notice was publically found.

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 that 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. The English assets for beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD later appeared as unused images in beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS.

DanceDanceRevolution

Dancing Stage Solo

Unused graphics for an European release of DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX can be found on the DanceDanceRevolution Solo 2000 data, including warning screens on English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

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.

DanceDanceRevolution Mobius (iOS)

A port of DanceDanceRevolution Mobius for the iPod, developed by Leviathan Games. The website of artist Colton Hoerner shows a mock-up screenshot of how the game would have looked.

DanceDanceRevolution: iDance

A title for the iPod, developed by Leviathan Games. The website of artist Colton Hoerner shows a mock-up screenshot of how the game would have looked.

DanceDanceRevolution New Moves

A Japanese version of DanceDanceRevolution (2010) for the PS3.

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. Most of the 70 songs planned were ones with Japanese vocals, though a few English and French songs were also planned. It was announced on November 11th, 2004 via KONAMI's Custom Factory page. Due to lack of interest, though, カラオケレボリューション BEMANIシリーズセレクション was cancelled on February 8th, 2005. A list of the planned songs can be found here.

KEYBOARDMANIA

KEYBOARDMANIA 4thMIX

KONAMI announced back in 2002 the possibility of a 4th KEYBOARDMANIA game exclusively for the PlayStation 2. Nothing came out of it afterward.

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.
