The DDR song you're thinking of is My Baby Momma, right?! :O

now WHO that is?

Kimbo Slice wit a bucket of kfc

REVIVAL!

Question: Which mix (home or arcade) has the LEAST amount of songs available (total, after unlocks),

Japanese or US release? Either way, I'd have to guess the very first DDR arcade mix. I think there were only 12 songs or something really low, but I don't have any sources for my crazy claim.

1st Mix had 13 songs, as did Dancing Stage: Dreams Come True. DDR Oha Sta had 12 songs. I think, though, that the Gameboy version of Oha Sta has the fewest songs  - only seven.

I can't find a source to deny.confirm that right now, but it sounds right.

Laura - next question!

All right, this is kind of lame, but here goes:

What month and year did ITG (the first version) go into beta?

oh man this is a good question....

umm....2004.....


March

I'm gonna say it was probably more like Nov 2003

hahaha yeah....I took a total guess.....I don't know the answer to save my life.

I don't either. I will tell you though that it's definitely 100% before march 2004.  I met JSB for the first time in Feb 2004, and he was here to help beta test ITG.

I have a photo of the beta machine I took at illusionz on december 23rd 2003.

After looking through this thread, I thought it would be fun if we brought this thread back from the dead. It seems to me that a lot of people here need to brush up on recent Bemani knowledge anyway.  

But instead of one question, I want to try three questions first (though if you follow any BEMANI-related news recently, then this shouldn't be hard at all):

Easy: Name the DDR song that is inspired by a certain natural disaster in 2011.

Medium: Name the first (and so far only) dubstep song in a BEMANI game and the game in which it appeared.

Hard: Big video game tournaments are not limited to only men! Name one of the female winners (real name or in-game name) from the Konami Arcade Championships with the year and the BEMANI game from which she won.

Amber won the Konami DDR regional tournament in 2009 in Seattle?

Really? I didn't know that. Although I'm talking about more recent and bigger tournaments here, like top-class-Japanese-and-Asian-players big (nationals at the very least). Notice how I capitalized "Konami Arcade Championship" (look it up)?
So since you referred to the wrong tournament, you're technically wrong. 

I want to say the first Dubstep song in a Bemani game was Star Trail from IIDX Lincle.

beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle star trail(A)

The genre is officially listed as "Trance," so no. Parts of the song did have me fooled for a while though!

Oh, yeah, I totally ignore what IIDX lists for genres since a lot of the time they are either wrong or completely made up, like "forktronica" and "happy handbag." I just go by how the music actually sounds, LOL.

Bonus Question! (or Expert, for the sake of continuity): How many songs in IIDX have the word "EPIC" in their genre? Name all of them.
