DJ Max Portable hitting stateside Nov. 11

[quote name='JEKKI']well it's not piracy of Black Square that supposedly caused this to happen,
it was piracy of Clazziquai Edition which just came out today.
Regardless hopefully this is fake... I did not wanna spend more cash this month but for DJ Max I didnt even hafta think about not dropping $50 like that[/quote]
I don't think they would be able to tell how piracy has affected sales if it just came out.
If it is canceled, it's for entirely different reasons. But hopefully it's not since I was waiting for Black Square.

I have the japanese version (because I loved Ouendan so much and was in the music mood) and it is impossible.
4 buttons are great. I am lost after 4, I don't think there is enough note differentiation. It all looks the same to me. I can beat Ouendan on the hardest setting without missing a note (not exactly difficult) and I'm not bad at Guitar Hero, but this is sadistic.
I really wish I could just make the whole thing easier to enjoy the songs. :\

are you familiar with playing Beatmania?? If not then that could be why you have a hard time, and maybe the style of game jus isnt for you.
and the note differentiation is actually really easy considering each hand handles half the notes... it's not like beatmania where both your hands are over all the buttons, you don't use your right fingers to hit a note on the left half of the screen
but if you can do 4 buttons then that should be enough to enjoy the songs???

I can do up to 6-button mode all the way to the level 11 songs on both DJ Max games, the only one I can never pass is a the level 10 6-Button mode Chain Of Gravity Song, there's a certain section where I get lost in the pattern and i have no idea how to get the rhythm to pass that.
What I do love though, is when I really get into the game, all of a sudden the notes feel like they're moving slower and I just nail every note, like I enter slow-mo.
8 button kills me around the level 8 spot, sometimes I don't notice the notes within the red notes, or I'll just lose my rhythm in a instant and can't recover.

Dj max Clazziquai is really great, however i didnt get my wall scroll yet T__T been a week.
anyway, only thing to say is it didnt satisfy me since, Clazzi editon really IS meant for the casual gamer, or new comers.
HD mode is only available to 4B and 4BFX modes, and no MX modes for any songs.
dont get me wrong, im totally happy i got the umd anyway, a collectable to me and im really excited for this game to get some recognition in the USA through djmaxfever (FINALLY!!! \\
)
Black square will have HD and MX modes for all modes, more songs, and 8B comes back into play.
im very very anxious for black square, minus about 3-5 songs theres no big challenge in Clazziquai, but it was great to hear the new songs and experience the new modes.
a couple of things to note..
-maybe it was me, but it was real bad fps lag, (especially in network battles)! make sure you put your "CPU CLOCK GAME" to 333/166 (in the recovery menu or pressing select in the home screen)
-quite sure about this, if u pause the game during a song, after u resume the note chart will be slightly off from the rest of the music. so, try not to pause to take a break or to change speed. ( you are able to change speed in fever now! )
uhm, happy DJing!

there's a link option in Clazziquai mode btw...
or rather... I think there's a link option, I think I saw it on sum promotional video.
similar to the DJMP2 -> DJMP1 link, you put Black Square into your PSP, switch to Clazziquai, and then you unlock hard versions of all the songs.

alrite I got my copy today! I had 10% battery so I jus played a bit til my PSP drained...
You got Arcade Mode which is your typical choose how many buttons & play songs, then you got Club Mode which is where u progress by beating stages.
I think Arcade Mode starts empty... I'm not sure coz I began with Club Mode but when I entered Arcade I only had 6 songs so I assume u unlock all songs by playing them in Club Mode.
So far all the stages Ive played in Club Mode are 2 buttons, so yah the game is pretty easy for new people.
umm... other than that the graphical presentation is downright fantastic as expected and the music so far is typical DJ Max quality... I havent ran into anything that I've quite grown attached to yet but we'll see as we progress.
also the game's intro is pretty dope too, but the only youtube version rite now is out of sync and has a huge watermark so I wont post it...

This has probably been answered already, but does anyone know what the price is going to be this game?
I looked on Gamestop recently, hoping for some sort of preorder bonus, but did not see anything. Thanks ahead.

so the bad part tho is... I didnt get to play
the game is touchscreen based and sum nerd doods were playing but apparently the touchscreen stopped working and the guy failed his song.
so one of the doods thought it would be a good idea to unplug the machine and plug it back in... idiot.
it's saturday on a college campus, so aint nobody working to fix it or come turn it on properly...
so I jus ended up having to leave... sadness

I'm getting the second one for christmas and I pre-ordered that special edition above already. I know I probably won't be able to touch Black Square for awhile, but it's better than not being able to get the special edition when I do come around.
I was kinda surprised when I saw the $40 shipping, but it kind of makes sense based upon what it is and where it is coming from. I just hope it doesn't get pulverized by my dumbass mailman.

I've barely scratched Clazziquai... there's one song I cant beat and I dont wanna progress into further stages until I beat that stage...
but I cant beat it!! >_< I suck now lol.
and then this came today:
but I gotta wait until the sunlight comes back to take more pics...

I REALLY want a home version of Ez2DJ or at least a Hip-Hop/R&B version. I would love to be able to play "Rhythm", "Stay", "We Luv Music", "Southwest Cadillac", etc. on a home version.
I got mine. The thing is that part of the box is damaged a little. Fedex was horrible too and didn't even bother to put it in a bag even though it was snowing. Thank god it never got past the cardboard box. Would Play asia do anything about the box being damaged a little if I shot them an e-mail?

I wish I had the limited edition. My brother was not able to pick it up for me when he was in Hong Kong. He was told it was sold out rather quickly. So now, I just got the regular Black Square edition.
I'll spend the money on the US limited edition if they do decide to go that route.

Ugh. Given that there are no pre-order bonuses and the current state of the PSP, I'm not sure that this will be a day 1 purchase for me.
I just can't see this game staying at $40 for very long and DJ Max 2 is still kicking my butt on 4 button mode...

This seems to be the general DJ Max thread, so I guess I'll post here.
I popped in Clazziquai yesterday and while I have a pretty good hold on 4 button, 5 button just kicks my ass, and I need to beat some 5 and 6 button songs to continue the club mode. Kind of sucks. :[

What are people's favorite songs/modes/difficulties/whatever from DJMP 1&2? I usually do 6B, but 5B is cool too because that shared middle note allows for some fun patterns.
Song-wise, Plastic Method and Blythe are pretty cool. I'm glad they toned down Blythe in DJMP2 so I can actually finish it without just mashing on everything. In 1, I liked Minimal Life a lot but thanks to the horrible unlock system I had to jump through hoops to play it.

I think 6B is generally more fun than 8B, but I agree there are some really fun 5B patterns. I like a lot of songs, but off the top of my head, Blythe, Oblivion, and Cherokee are great in DJMP2. After that, there are too many songs I like to list.
There are only a handful of songs I can't stand, with Brain Storm obviously being the worst. In fact, I hesitate to even call that a song.

Booo, no Ikarus or Stalker? Oh well, at least they have all my other favorites. Also it's not like I don't own the other games, and can't play them when I want.
HELP. Black Square showed up today and I am having some serious buyer's remorse. I am not really impressed with the songs so far composition-wise, although the production is really excellent this time around. For now, I won't let it bother me since I still have a ton to unlock and it took a while for the DJMP1/2 songs to grow on me.
Here is the serious problem, though: Sometimes I'll hit (or miss) one of the analog notes and everything but the background track will stop. The keys will still light up when I press buttons but there won't be the associated sound. This is MADDENING and ruins the game. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also my lifebar looks like a stack of pixelated static, but that's a minor issue compared to the track dropping thing. Maybe a different gear will fix it.
I'm really enjoying the new systems (mostly the UI) so far. I love having the combo and fever off to the side since, especially in Black Square, they take up a ton of space over the gear. Also I like being able to turn fever off if I want to. Looking forward to trying out link disc/DJMF to try to get 7X fever on my old favorites!
Also this guy rules: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idftnFr2mJY

That's a new "feature" of Black Square, certain notes that are special in that if you miss them, the background music stops until you hit another special note. I hear that it is one of the Black Square things that is making the transition to Fever.
