However, the standard cabinet was cancelled for unknown reasons before its release, leaving just beatmania IIDX. The few cabinets that were produced were later exported to Korea as [[AC 2nd style|beatstage II 2nd style]], and are now extremely rare. One of these cabinets can be seen in the Tatsujin videos in [[CS 6th style|beatmania IIDX 6th style CS -new songs collection-]]. References to beatmania II can still be seen in some of the older generic videos even in the latest releases of beatmania IIDX, as well as in song titles such as [[SP-TRIP MACHINE(for beatmania II)]]. | However, the standard cabinet was cancelled for unknown reasons before its release, leaving just beatmania IIDX.

Similarly, KONAMI also planned an English version of beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS like they did with beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD. Unlike the latter however, there was no location test, and the only evidence of a planned localization are unused images of English translations of the e-AMUSEMENT Login and Mode Select screens hidden in the game's data. | Similarly, KONAMI also planned an English version of beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS like they did with beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD.

The European arcade version of [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]] never made it to Europe, due to Sony's refusal of letting the original Japanese PlayStation 2 into European territories.
