Pentavision announces DJ Max Portable 2
It’s safe to say that the originators of the rhythm game genre have to be Konami, what with their BEMANI line of dancing and DJ games. While we do have DeNitro and Devin923‘s PSP Revolution series and its associated mods, you have to admit that the Beatmania side of the BEMANI franchise doesn’t get a lot of love outside of the arcades. Good thing Korea‘s got our backs.
Pentavision, makers of the first DJ Max Portable game for the PSP, is coming out with a sequel. Predictably titled DJ Max Portable 2, it features 150 songs (at least!), and a new gameplay mode. Best of all, if you like Asian-styled artwork, then there’s no better place to see nice looking Korean art than a Korean-made dance game.
Now, the translation through the web is a bit iffy, but it does seem as if that new mode will be playable right at the start, though there’s no word on how many songs will be available for gamers to get their beats going at the beginning. Hopefully, we won’t need to be masters of the game to get all the tracks. If any of our readers have some sharpened Korean language skills, we could use a proper translation to let everyone else know about the game.
You can be sure that there’s going to be some fans from across the Pacific hoping for another International Version to come out. Until the game gets an official release date in its home country, however, you might as well enjoy the pics we got from Ruliweb.
Update: Thanks to JamesX, he’s translated some more information from our source. According to his translation, DJ Max Portable 2 is scheduled for a release this winter. The game itself will include 60 songs, most of them new for this iteration of the game. The new gameplay type is apparently called New Key mode, though we don’t know what it does.
There’s an OST Mode that supplies the 150 tracks we mentioned, but we’ll have to wait for more English info or someone to grab a copy of the game to figure out if OST mode refers to a soundtrack of the game we have to buy or a completely unlockable mode.
Oh, and the slogan is “Sound Miracle”. Boy, if that isn’t an indication of how Korean this is, then we don’t know what is.
