Pump It Up New Xenesis (or NX for short) is the 19th arcade game release in the Pump It Up series. It was released worldwide on December 15, 2006. NX introduced many new elements to the Pump series, such as a brand new interface, 29 new core songs, and the Special Station - a new dedicated area for all nonstop remixes, long versions, and Another mode stepcharts. NX also saw the return of Nexcade to Pump it Up, replacing Freevolt Team, who worked on Exceed, Exceed 2, and Zero.

New features

The channel arrangement on NX was altered, now featuring a default channel containing all 29 new Arcade Station songs. A new game mode added to NX is World Tour, a group of 64 missions of 3 songs each, all containing various challenges such as passing a song, or completing a song with specific conditions or goals to accomplish. Each mission is named after capital cities of various nations throughout the world as well as after the developers of NX at Nexcade - where over 95% of charts are unique charts for existing songs, not playable anywhere else.

The Remix Station from Zero has been changed to the Special Zone, an area containing nonstop remixes, long versions of songs, and Another mode songs. All of Pump it Up Zero's Another songs have also been moved to the Special Zone. Most of the unlocks however, depend on playing through World Tour mode. In addition, a new cabinet style has been added to the lineup, the new FX cabinet (pictured above), features a futuristic design and a 42' plasma display. Yahpp, who split from the BanYa team, has become the project lead. His solo works make their first appearances (Chimera, Arch of Darkness, Final Audition Ep. 2-1/2-2, Witch Doctor #1, and Fire). Yahpp's approach to the game led to NX having a distinctly "old-school" style which hasn't been prevalent in Pump It Up in many years.

Difficulty Ratings

Unlike Exceed through Zero, but similarly to Extra and the Prex series, the difficulty level of a song is not visually represented by a number. Levels 1 through 14 are shown as star icons, each level corresponding to a half icon, while levels from 15 to 22 are shown as skull icons, with each level corresponding to a whole icon. Pump It Up NX2 displays both the stars/skulls and a digital level indicator. Most charts' difficulty ratings are broadly similar to their ratings in Zero, but have been tweaked.

A "????????" rating is given to songs that are "beyond the charts" (such as Chimera or Final Audition Episode 2-2 Nightmare - although both have been A'ed by expert players), gimmick charts that are meant to be impossible for one player (FAE2-2 Another Nightmare, Bee Another Nightmare, Chimera Another Nightmare), or charts that are meant for two players at the same time (LIADZ and LIADZ2 Another Nightmare).

Another Steps

Another Steps return in Pump it Up: NX. Now, some of the returning anothers have new stepcharts, and there are some new songs added to the channel. The following returning songs have new or changed steps: * Another Step New & Return: @
