AC bm 4th: Difference between revisions

* Release date:

** Japan: April 26th, 1999

* All previous beatmania songs have been removed, and are replaced with a brand-new set of 23 songs.

* The menu and gameplay interfaces have been totally redesigned; the new design features lots of purple, and computerized elements.

* The BATTLE modifier was changed so that if a chart that does not allow BATTLE is selected, it would instead play a lower difficulty chart with BATTLE (no message appears to indicate such).

** Previously, if such a chart was selected, a message saying "BATTLE PLAY NOT AVAILABLE" would appear and a DOUBLE chart would be played instead.

** This new behavior was also used in [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]], but was reverted to the old behavior in [[AC bm complete 2|completeMIX 2]] and then used in all subsequent games.
