KONAMI celebrated the 20th anniversaries of DanceDanceRevolution and pop'n music in September with little events and new songs, even making anniversary pages for both games. On September 28th, KONAMI also started location testing a new BEMANI game, Rizminance. | |||
In addition, KONAMI announced a new spin-off project of [[HinaBitter|HinaBitter♪]], titled BandMeshi♪ (バンめし♪). | |||
Unfortunately, 2018 saw KONAMI continuing their practices at the end of 2017 well into 2018 as well. Including: | |||
* The 10th anniversary event of jubeat in [[AC jb clan|jubeat clan]], clan kakumichi original characters & songs (clan各街オリジナルキャラクター＆楽曲), exclusively involved commission artists, and all of the jackets for the event were commissioned as well. | |||
** The commissioned jacket trend has continued into [[AC jb festo|jubeat festo]]. | |||
* The ENCORE/PREMIUM ENCORE STAGE songs in [[AC GD EXCHAIN|GITADORA EXCHAIN]] don't have unique videos, the first ones that don't since the first two ENCORE STAGE songs in [[AC GD|GITADORA]]. | |||
* Around late September/early October 2018, KONAMI removed virtually ''all'' arcade BEMANI pages from their website. They now link to their [https://www.konami.com/games/jp/ja/ Japanese game page] instead. The following game sites were removed (not including old BEMANI pages previously removed): | |||
** '''All''' beatmania pages. | |||
** All beatmania IIDX arcade pages prior to [[AC Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]]. | |||
*** '''All''' CS beatmania IIDX pages. | |||
** All DanceDanceRevoution arcade pages prior to [[AC DDR X3|DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX]]. | |||
*** '''All''' CS DanceDanceRevolution pages. | |||
** All GuitarFreaks & DrumMania pages prior to [[AC GD Tri-Boost|GITADORA Tri-Boost]]. | |||
*** '''All''' CS GuitarFreaks & DrumMania pages. | |||
** All jubeat arcade pages prior to [[AC jb saucer fulfill|jubeat saucer fulfill]]. | |||
** All pop'n music arcade pages prior to [[PnM AC Lapistoria|pop'n music ラピストリア]]. | |||
*** '''All''' CS pop'n music pages. | |||
*** The pop'n stage page was also removed. | |||
** All REFLEC BEAT arcade pages prior to [[AC RB colette|REFLEC BEAT colette]]. | |||
* In the place of the above removed pages, KONAMI has instead placed little one-page websites for their older BEMANI games instead with very basic information and a few screenshots, which can be viewed [https://www.konami.com/amusement/products/search/?cat=am&series=BEMANI here]. All references to any in-house BEMANI staff have been removed from these little pages. | |||
** This has also affected the grand majority of KONAMI's non-BEMANI games as well. For example, all Metal Gear websites (except the infamous ''METAL GEAR SURVIVE'') have been removed, even as recent as 2014/2015's ''Metal Gear Solid V'' games. | |||
