beatmaniaIIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE game for iOS and Android!

 On my previous entry, I recently bought a beatmaniaIIDX ENTRY Model controller. The next thing you must have is to download the game. The beatmaniaIIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE game is available on Android and iOS devices. The game is only available for the Japanese accounts only.

Downloading the game is free, however there is a monthly subscription. There are a lot of songs available for without subscription. If added, more songs will be added on top of the without subs. There are two kinds of subscription, the Regular and Ultimate subscription. The regular subs costs 480 yen/month while ultimate is 980 yen/ month.

ULTIMATE MOBILE's monthly plans

Gameplay is still same without the background videos Settings and customization is also available as well. Any recent Android or iOS devices can be used for this game, however for better gaming experience, I would recommend to use a tablet as mobile phones can limit your experience. 

Since beatmaniaIIDX arcade cabinets are no longer to be found in the Philippines, I think this is the better alternative option to still play the game and an alternative to the INFINITAS if you are in a budget.

beatmaniaIIDX ENTRY MODEL controller

Recently, I bought a beatmaniaIIDX ENTRY MODEL controller from the used game shop in Akihabara. I was suprised because BEMANI games and controller are significantly scarce and expensive.

This controller was intended for the beatmaniaIIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE for iOS and Android device which uses Bluetooth connection. Although, this is also compatible with the beatmaniaIIDX INFINITAS for PC connected through cable.

The ENTRY MODEL controller was the reborn PS2 version, omitting the PS2 port. The ENTRY MODEL uses membrane in the keys, therefore, it is susceptible in sticky keys. Because it is intended for mobile devices, the controller can be power up by 3 AAA batteries.

In comparison in the with the PS2 JKOC, ENTRY MODEL is visibly thicker. The turntable of the also smaller than the PS2 JKOC, and ENTRY MODEL is longer than the PS2 predecessor.

Right now, I don't know its availability in Konami esport store in Ginza as Konamistyle website has been blocked viewers from outside Japan.
