Beatmania 14th PS2 - New Import Regular Edition - In Stock

Beatmania IIDX 14: Gold (stylized as beatmania IIDX14: GOLD) is the 14th game in the beatmania IIDX series of music video games. It was released in arcades by Konami on February 21st, 2007. The game features over 45 new songs, some of which are unlocked over Konami's e-Amusement platform. The game instituted another hardware change for IIDX, now running on the Taito Type X2 Arcade system board - which uses Windows XP Embedded as its operating system.

As suggested by the title, Gold's interface is a retouch of the interface of Distorted, featuring a prodomently metallic interface containing a gold and silver color scheme.

If the player gets three AA's on any difficulty (without use of the Random or Mirror modifiers) and the levels for all the songs add up to either 20 for Hyper or 30 for Another, the player is awarded a chance to play the extra stage, Vanessa by Suzaku. The stage is played on Hard mode, which removes the 80% groove gauge requirement, but will fail the player if it drops down to 0%. If the stage is cleared, the player gets to play One More Extra Stage, Fascination MAXX, a crossover from the then recently released Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA.

VIP Room

An additional extra stage-like system added to Gold through e-Amusement is the VIP Room, an extension on the system introduced by Distorted's "Cardinal Gate" system. To access the VIP Room, the player must play 30 songs on one difficulty, then pay 1700 GP. This unlocks the Silver Room, containing GOLD RUSH by DJ Yoshitaka-G feat. Michael a la mode.

Clearing 60 songs on one difficulty, then clearing GOLD RUSH with an A in hard mode, plus another payment of 1700 GP unlocks the Gold Room, containing CANDY GALY by Risk Junk-G.

Clearing 90 songs, 5 songs from IIDX Records on the same difficulty, clearing CANDY GALY with an A or higher in hard mode, and another payment of 1700 GP unlocks the Platinum Room, which contains 電人、暁に斃れる。 (Denjin, Dead at Dawn) by L.E.D-G. An additional OMES in the Black Room was Sense 2007 by good-cool. The VIP Room system was later dropped as e-Amusement connected machines entered "beat #3" mode, which unlocks all songs for regular play.

Music

Notable songs from this version include:

  • GOLD RUSH - a song accessed through the VIP Room system. The song is an extended remix of Gold's opening theme, with additional vocals provided by Michael a la Mode, and a middle breakdown containing a naming of all the IIDX versions in order of release. The song gained a cult following in IIDX online communities due to its ridiculous sound and vocals (further characterized by its given genre, "Reckless Rave") and its incomprehensible lyrics. Lines from the song and video, such as "Make it make money" have also been referenced by players in many ways.
  • TRANOID - a tribute to video game music. The video for the song contains an opening sequence for a fictitious game of the same name, staring "Tran", an alien character seen frequently in IIDX videos. The actual game, consists of her running down a track (which resembles the gameplay area of IIDX but tilted on its side), dodging other red, white, and blue aliens. The "game", is actually Tranoid's notechart on Normal for that portion of the song, and the game area and colors even imitate the standard colors of notes on IIDX. The logo for the game, resembles the logo for Gradius, another Konami game.
  • The Smile of You - the theme song from the Konami game Elebits, which coincidentally also includes references to other Bemani games in general.

We Had a Great Time At Fanime!

Shortly after the success of anime expo 2007, we were approached with an imminent
suggestion by one of our loyal customers, JE. Unbeknownst to us, we had no idea
a whole order world of anime action existed in California with a volume that
could finally rival Anime Expo. (Drum Roll Please)....FanimeCon!

With signup due dates approaching, I fidgeted around, grabbed my papers, printed
out the appropriate forms, took four to five gulps of water, answered a couple
of phone calls, looked at a couple of emails, checked the FanimeCon forums for
past vendors, and bam! Just like that, our application was faxed in.

Actually, this is only our second convention, the first being Anime Expo (thank
you for all of you guys that made it possible for us). But now that we've had
a small breadth of experience, our prior difficulties were significantly reduced,
which allowed us to give full attention to our customers to the best of our
ability.

Thank you all for making it a great show for us and we hope to see you all
next year! We will be at Anime Expo 2008 this year from July 3rd - July 6th,
don't forget! Mark your calendars!
