Pop’n Music
Pop’n Music (ポップンミュージック), commonly shortened to Pop’n or PNM), is a music video game in Konami’s Bemani series. The game is notable for its bright colors, upbeat songs, and cute character graphics. Although Pop’n Music was originally intended to be played by couples on dates, it has greatly escalated in difficulty since early iterations, and has since then attracted many players of beatmania and other Bemani games. Originally released in 1998, the game has had 15 home releases in Japan as well as many arcade versions.
Console versions
The following games have only been released in Japan and Asia.
Pop’n Music and Pop’n Music 2 were released on the PlayStation and the Dreamcast, and for both consoles two further append discs were released: Pop’n Music 3 and Pop’n Music 4. These latter two versions required a “key disc”, i.e. one had to already possess Pop’n Music 2. A special controller featuring the nine colored buttons of the arcade version of the game was released for both consoles.
Pop’n Music 5, Pop’n Music 6, Pop’n Music Animation Melody and Pop’n Music Disney Tunes were then released for the PlayStation, but there were no further releases on the Dreamcast. Pop’n Music 5 and 6 could be used as “key discs” to play the append discs mentioned above.
Pop’n Music 7, 8, 9, 10,11,Iroha (12), and Carnival (13) were released on the PlayStation 2, as well as an anthology version, Pop’n Music Best Hits. A revised controller was also released for the PS2, though it is also compatible with the original PlayStation. Pop’n Music Fever (14) is set to be released in the Summer of 2007.
The Game Boy Color also had three Pop’n Music games: Pop’n Music GB, Pop’n Music GB Animation Melody, and Pop’n Music GB Disney Tunes.
