beatmania wasn't the only game with a spin-off, though. DanceDanceRevolution had the [[AC DDR Solo BASS|Solo BASS MIX]] and [[AC DDR Solo 2000|Solo 2000]] games, which transformed the usual four-panel style of DDR on its head. Now you had two extra arrows on the top left and right to work with, resulting in a far more difficult game overall. Both of these games contained almost completely brand-new songs never before in the series. | beatmania wasn't the only game with a spin-off, though.

pop'n music itself had [[ | pop'n music itself had [[AC pns|pop'n stage]], which was a bit like ''PUMP IT UP'', but keysounded. This game also had an almost completely original songlist, and near all of its songs would pop up in the main series of pop'n music titles. It even got an upgrade later that year known as [[AC pns ex|pop'n stage ex]], which added a new difficulty level, a few songs from the then current [[PnM AC 3|pop'n music 3]], and two brand-new songs. One of the new songs, [[WE TWO ARE ONE]], introduced [[Seiya Murai]] to BEMANI. Murai would be for years after one of the biggest names in pop'n music, and also a key staff member of KEYBOARDMANIA starting the following year. | ||
The Sony PlayStation became the new home for most of these new BEMANI arcade releases. DanceDanceRevolution games became huge hits on the system, and the beatmania games continued to sell quite well. KONAMI even dabbled with the Game Boy with their beatmania games, producing three games in all. | The Sony PlayStation became the new home for most of these new BEMANI arcade releases.
