Thanks for correcting our misunderstood friend, guys.

I said no where that IIDX made an exact DJ simulation game.

Do you even own any BM or Pop'n? On any BM game, it CLEARLY fucking states "DJ Simulation game".

When you play Pop'n music, the announcer makes sublte references that you are a "DJ". Although Pop'n Music is officially a "Music Simulation Game". So while it isn't really confirmed a "DJ Simulation Game", they hint at it enough to guess it as so.

http://www.toysnjoys.com/popnmusic.html (on the PSX version boxes)

There ya go. No conga, no DJ, no whack-a-mole (as I've heard someone call it "Musical whack-a-mole before

). Just a Music Simulation game.

No one said ANY Bemani was supposed to be exactly the same as the style of music it's simulating. That's just common sense, my friend. DDR is probably the worst of the bunch when it comes to taking the true feel of what it's simulating. I'd say the best Bemani for correctness is probably KBM, and maybe DM as well - as you use the actual instruments the real thing is used with.

After all the Bemani's PSX versions, Konami stopped displaying what type of simulation game each Bemani was - but it's common sense to carry over their descriptions to the PS2 versions.

This isn't a Pop'n VS IIDX thread. It's a thread about new Bemani ideas. Let's keep it that way, eh?

I too was thinking of a xylo/marimba mania kind of thing, although I figured a vibraphone would be a neat choice, given the added complication of a foot pedal. When playing the vibraphone, you have to hold the pedal down and let go to end the note. The only problem with that might be trying to make an accurate enough simulation vibraphone that can stand up to arcade abuse. The vibraphone in our band room is pretty delicate, and being a mallet percussionist, I guard it jealously; trying to keep it from getting ruined.

College Drumm off!
Its like drum mania but all you have are 5 equal size drums in a semi- circle the notes fall the same but there is no melody only your drum sounds. You know like at a college football game? They make crazy rythms with the different tones, that would be cool. I can't think of any other cool musical instrument you can play.... I'll keep thinking
