beatmania IIDX got by far the best upgrades of any series this user. Not only did it receive two [[AC 5th style|arcade]] [[AC 6th style|games]], but the interface was streamlined, added several new helpful options (more speed mods, song grades introduced, DVD video hardware replacing VCD), and the songlist and music variety only got better. Two new [[CS 4th style|home]] [[CS 5th style|versions]] came out relatively quickly as well, both having the subtitle "new songs collection", due to having new CS songs. | beatmania IIDX got by far the best upgrades of any series this user.
