If you love Beatmania then here is yet another title in the series to look forward to: Beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem (Konami sure does love making the titles on these games a mouthful, don’t they?). There is very little information on the new game other than what we see in the graphic above where Konami is branding the game as: “The ultimate system beatmania deluxe version”. Perhaps they will go big on the cabinet, like they did with their recent XG releases for Guitar Freaks and DrumMania. (Thanks for the comment on that Naphitism, didn’t know it’s the catchphrase for the game series). The game will be on test later this week from the 22nd to the 26th of April.

Guys, every IIDX release says “The ultimate system beatmania deluxe version”. That’s a catchphrase of theirs since the first IIDX. The IIDX machines ARE actually the “big versions” of the old-school Beatmania II which they stopped making a while ago.
