beatmaniaIIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS
 

It's now been announced that beatmaniaIIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS is on its way, according to the IIDX RED CS website!:

http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/bm2dx/11red/#HS

I am FAR more excited for this than I was for RED. Happy Sky is my favorite IIDX style to date, I like it far more than DistorteD or RED or any other modern one (So much that I have the hard drive for HS on my computer :B). There's no release date yet, but people are speculating sometime in november. Any revival-guesses here?

November would be a good guess for a release date. It seems like every year, Konami's been trying to come out with it as close to 19/20, November as they can get.

I hope a lot more slow/tempo changing songs are revived, to take advantage of HS5/Sudden+.

The revival songlist has been announced!:

It's too early in the morning to format, I'll do it later D:

V is back (Noooo!), but other than that the revivals look pretty nice.

Dang, I was beaten to it.

I've been saying Electro Tuned is due for revival the last two games, but then I figured it'd get passed up this game. So, it goes and gets revived.

Please Don't Go, Kotti Wo Muiteyo, VJArmy, and Luv to Me Ucchies Edition will all be great to play again. Maybe I can pass PDG with the updated interface/better high speeds, and VJArmy will be better with sudden+ too.

i have it its quite fun. though this isnt the CS version. >.>

ill post images or links when it lets me

Ah, did you download the full 13GB arcade version, or however big it was?

10.8 gig

yes yes i did ^^

This may be a little off-topic. But there will be a location test for IIDX 14 Gold in Japan starting today. I wonder what the music will be like in this one..

h**p://konami.jp/am/locationtest/2dx14

Yeah. I'll make a separate topic for IIDX Gold.

December 14th seems to be the release date for Happy Sky. A little later than expected, but then I remember December isn't all that far off from now.

Yeah, Play-Asia opened their pre orders a few days ago and I've already put mine in with the fastest shipping option. I can't wait XD

It's another Beatmania CS release~ He we go again ^___^

I've never played 12th style before, but from what i hear around
here and bemanistyle, this one seems to be the best!

Time to polish my skills (or lack of) once again ^_^

CS 12th songs as follows:

Bossa Electronica / Reflection into the EDEN / Nekomata Master / 4-7-x, 110bpm
Japanese Reggae / Endless Summer Story / Yoshitaka feat. Kanako Hoshino / 4-6-7, 95bpm
Trance / 風の谷のDREAM / PINK PONG / 4-7-9, 146bpm
Pops / Recollection / Noria / 4-7-9, 182bpm
Drum & Bass / DAWN -THE NEXT ENDEAVOUR- / LED feat. Kanako Hoshino / 6-9-x, 183bpm

I'm sure there'll be more, but for now, this is what we have to look forward to.

YES! Another Nekomata track ^_^

4-7-X? Does this mean that there's no another?

Aww! Beyond the Earth was such a great [A] chart!
Hope it still has an Another.

P.S. Gdog, welcome back to GFF~ I've only seen you on Bemanistyle ^__^

Yeah, it'll likely have an another version, don't worry.

This is only the list from TGS 2006, and there are almost never [A] versions available at the show.

Definitely psyched to get me some hot Happy Sky action, but I honestly don't know what I'll play first. Possibly a set of Inazuma/Xapher/something I can AA the [A] of, to get ES, then Scream Squad and FAIL HORRIBLY, at least for the first time or two.

I told myself I was never going to order another LE after being so disappointed by 8th style's.

Then one of the bonuses was announced for HS's. A Xia figurine.

My resolve, it breaks D:

Since i haven't been playing for a while~ i'm playing RED now
and trying to improve my EXs plus Full Combo everything in order.
So far 1-6s are FCed and a handful of 7s.

Stupid Ageha, i keep messing up my combo on the same dumb part *_*~~~

Let's hope PlayAsia ships early like last time with RED!!

Man, i'm getting impatient ^_^''

Hmm, it's getting close. I should probably order this soon.

Also, apparently Scripted Connection, which actually sounded different for each chart, will now be three whole songs, N-mix, H-mix, and A-mix, each version three charts of its own.

Also, there is apparently a Love is Dreaminess another or remix or something, looks to be along the lines of Erasermotor Phantom.

Not precisely.

There's a song on IIDX 12th CS called "Lovely Storm - Love is Dreaminess Reinterpretation." So, to give another example, the songs are sort of like the difference between "Infinite Prayer" and "The Big Voyager - Infinite Prayer Reinterpretation"

To get a bit of a preview for it, There's a link here.
If you want to see the new CS songs in action, including the two that have been revealed since my last post, namely:

NU STYLE GABBA/Blue Mirage/DJ CHUCKY
CLUB JAZZ/Ice Cube Pf (RX-Ver. S.P.L.)/高田雅史

Check out the Official Site, which was opened a couple weeks ago here.

And yeah, the game officially releases in 6 days, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some more info, on courses, difficulties and unlocks withing about 4. Usually the ISOs are leaked a day or two early.

Edit: Looks like there are three more, secret CS songs: Sayonara Heaven = Contemporary nation 2, essentially a sequel to Beyond The Earth, In the Sky, and Just a Little Smile. These are rumors, but ones that are likely true.

Sayonara Heaven is SWEEEEEEEEEET~ If this is true, i'd kiss Mr. Konami on the lips!

Hell, if it isn't, i'd still kiss 'em ^_^

--update--

As usual! Playasia has ALREADY SHIPPED IIDX 12 out (at least my order has been).
It'll probably get to my hands on Wednesday! Can't WAIT!

Sayonara Heaven/WORLD/ELECTRONICA/Nekomata Master
Just a Little Smile/NU SKOOL BREAKS/Sota Fujimori
in the Sky/HAPPY HARDCORE/Ryu☆

All confirmed.

Good to hear Sayonara Heaven got confirmed, as listings as "Contemporary Nation 2" for a genre were pretty suspicious. Do you know if the supposed difficulties have been confirmed also? (I was hearing 7/11/12 on it)

EDIT - just saw a screen shot that showed 5/6/8 for that, but for doubles. Hmm.

EDIT 2 - Possibly the craziest thing yet. The game has an option to move the timing earlier or later, allowing people with things like lagging HDTVs to still have the game play perfectly on time.

Sayonara Heaven Singles is 5/6/8 as well. I know, we're all hoping
we'd have another hard song like the first Contemporary Nation on IIDX.
This one's a bit easier ^_^''

Playing through the game now~ Customize is back and there's a lot of skins!
There's even unlockable BGM for the song select screen ^_* b

I'm going over a friends later today, and we're gonna quickly try the game, even though neither of us actually have it yet. >_>

Man, I wasn't that excited for Happy Sky CS until I started hearing all the crazy things this one has. I also popped in RED yesterday for the first time in a couple months and remembered why that was such an improvement over the previous styles, and that got me even more excited for HS.
