Jubeat (ユビート Yubīto?) is a series of arcade music video games developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, and is a part of Konami's Bemani line of music video games. The series uses an arrangement of 16 buttons in a 4x4 grid for gameplay, a grid also used for the displaying of cues and part of the user interface.

The game went on several location tests in Asia since December 2007, and was released on July 24, 2008.[1] in Japan, and December in Hong Kong and Macau (Mainland China didn't officially get the game until early 2010, and the mainland version has no network or e-Amusement card functions). Two attempts to localize the game for the United States market have been made since August 2008, including UBeat, a variant of the first version, and Jukebeat in 2009, a variant based on Jubeat Ripples.[2]

A port of the game for the iPad, "jubeat Plus", was released on Apple's Japanese App Store in 2010, with a release in the USA store titled "jukebeat" in 2011.

Gameplay

The basic gameplay of the series is similar to Nintendo DS music games such as Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents and can be considered to be similar to Whac-A-Mole. Animated explosions or other animations, called "markers", that can be chosen at the song select screen are shown within the panels synced to a track of the player's choosing; when they reach a "hot point", which is dependent on the marker chosen, the player must tap the corresponding screen to score points. Taps can be judged as either Perfect, いい感じ (Good), 早い (Fast), or 遅い (Slow). 3 difficulties (Basic, Advanced, and Extreme) are offered for each song.

As with other Konami games, an e-Amusement card can be used to save statistics and a player ranking, and can also be used to access unlockable songs. Single player and linked multiplayer modes with multiple cabinets are also offered.

Scoring

Each song has 3 levels of difficulty, with all difficulties having a maximum of 1,000,000 points.

Total Score = Note Score + Bonus Score
Note Score = (900,000 / total # of notes)*(P + G*0.7 + g*0.4 + B*0.1)
Bonus Score = (100,000/1024)*BonusCounter

This "Bonus Counter" has a range from 0 to 1024. The Bonus Counter starts at 0, and fluctuates by the following amounts for each hit:

The game background will animate as this BonusCounter increases, and if a player reaches the last BonusCounter animation, the bonus score will be the full 100,000 points. It is possible to do very well on a song, but miss out on the maximum bonus due to missing notes at the very end of a song.

North American and European location tests

Several attempts have been made by Konami to make a localized version of Jubeat for the United States and European markets.

UBeat

The first North American attempt, was originally announced by on August 26 on the DDR Online Community site, and was held from September 8, 2008 and ran until September 14, 2008 at a Boomers! location in Irvine, California, and was accompanied by a location test of Dance Dance Revolution X.[2] A European location test for UBeat was announced on October 10 on DDRUK, running through into the school autumn holidays.[3] The game's title was re-written as UBeat, which is however pronounced the same as the original title.

The song list was based on the initial song list of Jubeat, but included additional American music to replace the Japanese music that comprised the original song list.
