Beatmania IIDX (Japanese: ビートマニア ツーディーエックス, Hepburn: Bītomania Tsū Di Ekkusu) (IIDX) is a series of rhythm video games, that was first released by Konami in Japan on 26 February 1999.[2] Beatmania IIDX has since spawned 31 arcade releases and 14 console releases on the Sony PlayStation 2.[3] It is the sequel to the beatmania game series,[4] and is part of the Bemani line of music games.[5]

Initially conceived and developed as a sequel to Beatmania, Konami released Beatmania IIDX in Japan in 1999. The development team designed the game to simulate the experience of a DJ performing at a real venue, and gave the cabinet a "club Visual Jockey style."[6] While its predecessor used five keys, IIDX had seven of them, increasing the games complexity and skill ceiling.[7] The larger controller was integrated into the cabinet alongside a larger 40-inch widescreen monitor, dual speakers, and spotlights to replicate the feeling of performing at a live venue.[6]
