Your introduction to beatmania IIDX starts here

Right over here.

Once you're done there, go ahead and come back here.

You're back? Good. ^_^

Now that you (hopefully) know about beatmania IIDX, you need some example videos, right?

Four videos, all played by DJ Hell, all perfect gameplay examples, all kick ass (well, except for the fact that I'm not a big fan of Double Loving Heart). First up, quasar (by OutPhase aka dj TAKA and TaQ) from IIDX 9th Style played on IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY

Ooh, wasn't that awesome? That was the very first beatmania IIDX video I ever saw. The second one? That's next. Here's DOUBLE♥♥LOVING HEART (by Tatsh feat. Junko Hirata & Sayaka Minami) from IIDX 13 DistorteD.

-_-;;

Yeah, um, this next one is actually pretty good. Again from DistorteD, this time it's Bloody Tears (IIDX EDITION) (from the Castlevania series, remixed by DJ Yoshitaka).

See? That's better. And finishing it up is Piano Concerto No. 1 "ANTI-ARES" (by virkato aka Jun Wakita) from IIDX 11 IIDX RED (no, that's not a typo) played on IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY.

Hehe, not all songs have to be techno/dance/j-pop, you know? ^_^

Now that you've seen how the game works, join me next time where I'll start putting direct-feed videos, autoplay videos, camera-only videos, etc. Trust me - some of these songs kick absolute ass (Mei, rage against usual, garden, MOON RACE, Narcissus At Oasis, Beyond The Earth), and some of those notecharts are absolutely insane (Mei, rage against usual, Ganymede, Nageki no Ki, The Dirty of Loudness, BLUE MIRAGE, and to an extent Beyond The Earth). You just HAVE to see them / hear them in action. ^^

Until then...
