2006

After a little over three years of sticking mostly to console releases, the DanceDanceRevolution series returned to the arcades in 2006 with DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA. In an interesting move, SuperNOVA was released in other countries before its Japanese release. Shortly after its launch, KONAMI terminated their contract with TOSHIBA-EMI, making it the last DDR game to advertise Dancemania albums.

beatmania IIDX also continued to move forward with beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD. DistorteD introduced a new EXTRA STAGE system in place of the old one, which now expanded the total number of extra stage songs from one to four. This system would eventually go on to become the standard for the years to come. DistorteD also added a new course to Dani'nintei Mode, known as Kaiden (皆伝). Kaiden consists of the some of the toughest songs the IIDX series has to offer. As such, it has become somewhat of a status symbol among the community and a peak that many players aim to overcome.

That same year, the formation of a new, beatmania IIDX-focused label called beatnation Records was also announced. Its members consisted of only in-house staff at the time; two long-running contributors to BEMANI and, to balance it out, two of its freshest newcomers. Most of the releases published under the label involve beatmania IIDX in some way shape or form, from soundtracks to full-fledged albums to even artbooks. The beatnation label would be active for a few years before going on temporary hiatus.

KONAMI continued to experiment with console releases on the side, introducing more unique titles like DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE and GuitarFreaks & DrumMania MASTERPIECE SILVER. 2006 also saw the release of beatmania (USA), the only CS release of beatmania in the United States.
