| * On October 1st, 2018, KONAMI removed virtually ''all'' pre-2011 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 arcade beatmania pages, all beatmania IIDX arcade pages prior to [[AC Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]], all CS beatmania IIDX pages after [[CS 6th style|6th style CS]], all core DanceDanceRevolution arcade pages prior to [[AC DDR X3|DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX]] (and the Solo games' pages), all GuitarFreaks & DrumMania arcade pages prior to [[AC GD Tri-Boost|GITADORA Tri-Boost]], all jubeat arcade pages prior to [[AC jb saucer fulfill|jubeat saucer fulfill]] (as well as [[CS jb plus|jubeat plus]]), all pop'n music arcade pages prior to [[AC pnm Lapistoria|pop'n music ラピストリア]] (as well as the CS games and [[AC pns|pop'n stage]]), and all REFLEC BEAT arcade pages prior to [[AC RB colette|REFLEC BEAT colette]] (and [[CS RB plus|REFLEC BEAT plus]]).
| |
| ** Curiously, the [http://bmf.i-revo.jp/beatnation/index.html beatnation records] website was not taken down.
| |
| ** 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.
| |
| ** KONAMI later announced that the website removals were due to a restructure of their gaming portal websites, as noted on their twitter [https://twitter.com/konami_support/status/1047020477288452096 here].
| |
| ** As of late 2018/early 2019, most old BEMANI games' links have been "fixed" by redirecting them to the newer, simpler pages, confirming that these old BEMANI game pages have been replaced with these new ones.
