BEMANI in your pockets

        A decade ago, Konami released a handheld bemani game called BEMANI Pockets. They are somewhat similar to Nintendo's Game & Watch but the gameplays and designs mimics the BEMANI arcade. The screen is a monochrome and an 8-bit sound output. They are powered using a 3 CR batteries.

       BEMANI Pockets have different variations and releases from beatmania, DDR, ParaPara, pop'n music and even GUITARFREAKS. These handhelds have a very limited number of songs due to hardware limitations.

BEMANI Pockets that I have.

        I only have 3 BEMANI pockets and the a good rare find. Although, I rather put it in a shelf than playing it. There are sellers who sells used items from our local online shops for only 400.00Php or $19.00 a piece.
