No, it would have to have been made by Konami to be in the Bemani series.

A whole bunch of people have played it already and can tell you how it is.

It's a pretty fun game. I've played the JP version a whole bunch, and the US version at E3 seemed pretty much the same.

i don't know what u heard but the Japanese version is way different then the american version cause the american version isn't gonna have really any of the same songs as the japanese version the only japanese songs the american versions will have is the super mario bros. theme song the DK rap and one other song i think.besides that the american version will have way different songs.

I've heard that the Japanese version won't save on an American Gamecube...just a warning for those planning to import.

I imported Donkey Konga and it is a great game, but a region modified GC is the only way to go. So far the only differences I have ever encountered between a JAP Gamecube and a USA Gamecube is 1 resistor. Yup, you heard correct, there is only one resistor keeping your USA GC from playing import games, how much of a crock is that? Anyway though, here are some things I have picked up along the way in dealing with the Gamecube.

First, the freeloader thing sometimes does not allow you to save on import games while playing them on a USA GC. I don't really know why, but I have never owned a freeloader so I have no first hand experience. I wouldn't pay $20 for that crappy little disc when I could pay $2 for a switch and install a region switch myself.

Second, mod the gamecube, it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. I have had no problems with my gamecube since I region modified it and I have decent soldering skills. It isn't that hard but you pretty much have to completely disassemble the gamecube and solder 2 wires to the motherboard. So, instead of having to put the freeloader in every time all you have to do is flip a toggle switch between JAP and USA.

Third, you need a memory card for your USA gamesaves and a memory card for your JAP gamesaves. They won't go on the same card because it has to be formatted for JAP or USA, which really sucks, but it is still worth it.

Anyway, that is my two cents.

Bleh, sorry to sound like a n00b, but when is this scheduled to come out for US release? Do you know if it will come with the drums, and how much will it cost?

I heard that it's basically an easy game and that there's no unlocks for it besides harder difficulties. This is my friend talking about the Japanese version, is it true?
