4 unusual facts about Beatmania IIDX


Beatmania IIDX

Most Extra Stage songs debut in their respective Beatmania IIDX games, but there are some Extra Stage songs (esp. from the multiple Extra Stage systems) that are crossovers from other BEMANI titles; for example, beatmaniaIIDX 20 tricoro's LIMIT BURST system is largely made up of notably difficult songs from other games.

The setup of having two systems per game (standard system and e-AMUSEMENT system) continued until beatmaniaIIDX 18 Resort Anthem, where the standard ES and OMES stood alongside a new song unlock system tied to a player's e-AMUSEMENT pass.

beatmaniaIIDX 20 tricoro replaces the standard Extra Stage with "LIMIT BURST", which allows seven different Extra Stage songs to be played.

beatmaniaIIDX 19 Lincle brought back the multiple Extra Stage system, in the form of Lincle Kingdom, while retaining the standard ES and OMES setup.
