» The first track on the DVD is a 24:54 minute report from E3 which starts outside the exhibition as the visitors flock to the show and eventually goes inside where puzzled Westerners ogle at the antics of Famitsu's over-the-top (read: very loud) staffers. The coverage inside starts at the PS3 area where the camera takes in Gran Turiso HD, the PS3 console encased in a cylindrical case, War Hawk, Heavenly Sword, and others. The Famitsu cameraman captures the dancing girls at the Namco X Bandai area before heading over to the Spore demonstration on the wrap-around screen. The next area is the Wii exhibition which shows off the innovative controller. Last but not least, Famitsu crew check out what's doing with the X360. » Konami Official Bemani Challenge where competitors bang drums, strum guitars, and slap the ivories in perfect syncopation in Beatmania IIDX12. The BMIIDX players are so perfect that their fingers look robotic as they dance over the keys. The demonstration simultaneously shows the Beatmania game screen on top and the arcade DJ deck on the bottom as magic fingers do their thing. No cues are missed and the player streams through nearly 1000 GREATs until the footage stops. Games featured are as follows: Beatmania IIDX 12
Pop 'n Music 13
Guitar Freaks V2
DrumMania V2 This particular segment is worth watching for any Bemani fan. View larger photos for this item on the main NCSX website.
