It's getting pretty shameless how these guys are ripping off all the ideas Konami came up with. They've already taken Guitar Freaks, Percussion Freaks, and rolled them up with karaoke to make Rock Band etc., now Beatmania IIDX too? Oh well. Good ideas, bad timing and marketing I guess.
would you prefer they ask Konami to please do a better job and please be smart enough to put their own games together into 1 so that they can make money? I don't see how it's "shameless"
Nah, it's probably just sour grapes... all the games I used to enjoy and get made fun of for are now the trendy "new" thing. Don't mind me. But I am surprised that there's been nothing heard on copyright infringement. In The Groove, basically a DDR clone with a few gameplay wrinkles, got sued and squashed by Konami in no time.
