The delay for DJ Max Fever was a short one. PM Studios let Siliconera know the first US version of DJ Max is on track to come out in stores next month. In a short amount of time PM Studios and Pentavision completely changed the engine. Instead of getting DJ Max Portable 2+ you get [...]

I heard DJ Max: Technika was in some arcades so I rushed to try it out. I came to the machine armed with experience from Pentavision’s most recent DJ Max game and noticed plenty of songs overlapped between Technika and Clazziquai Edition. However, DJ Max: Technika doesn’t play anything like DJ Max Portable. DJ Max: [...]

DJ Max Portable Clazziquai Edition felt like it was an introduction to DJ Max rather than a proper “sequel” to DJ Max Portable 2. DJ Max Portable Black Square is supposed to quench core fans by taking the mission mode from Clazziquai Edition, adding a new interface, and a hardcore 6 button FX mode which [...]

Videos of players rocking six button mode and frantically hitting buttons makes the DJ Max Portable series look intimidating. The concept of DJ Max Portable is similar to Guitar Hero and very close to Beatmania. You press buttons on beat to hit notes, get points, and clear songs. It’s the intense stream of notes that [...]

PM Studios planned to ship DJ Max Fever, their first game, sometime this month. Now, it’s being rescheduled for Q1 2009. Their plan is to make DJ Max Fever less like DJ Max Portable 2 and more like its own its own thing. The revised DJ Max Fever will have new gears (read: interfaces), upgrade [...]

DJ Max Portable: Clazziquai Edition has a link disc feature which lets you can unlock content in this DJ Max game with an older DJ Max game. Pop in DJ Max Portable 2 and you instantly get a few character icons, the Syriana song, and the Summer Time Gear which changes the mobile phone interface [...]

I saw DJ Max Portable: Clazziquai Edition over the weekend and the song list hasn’t really been discussed so I took some notes from arcade mode. As the subtitle suggests Korean fusion group Clazziquai headlines the list of licensed music. Pentavision picked up other Korean artists too like 3rd Coast and 015B. There is this [...]

PM Studios sent us a trailer for DJ Max Fever, their first game and the first US version of the DJ Max series. I think we know what to expect gameplay wise, lots of button taps on beat with awesome artwork. It’s the song list that’s still a mystery. The trailer mentions DJ Max Fever [...]

PM Studios made brand new box art for DJ Max Fever, rest assured it’s isn’t the teaser box art we posted before.     The back cover has more meaty information about DJ Max Fever. There are 50 soundtracks, 70 “extreme challenges”, and 500 items to collect. Fever mode from DJ Max Portable 2 will [...]

Pentavision has two DJ Max Portable games lined up for release in Korea. DJ Max Portable Clazziquai Edition comes out sometime in October. Pentavision hasn’t announced a set date, but the standalone game should appear around October 16 when Sony Computer Entertainment Korea’s PSP-3000 DJ Max Package Limited Edition arrives in stores. Ruliweb and Play-Asia [...]

PM Studios told us they were keen on preserving the Korean flavor in DJ Max Fever, the first US version of the DJ Max Portable series. They also had plans to add new songs, but I didn’t think they would add Korean pop songs. This “club flyer” PM Studios sent over reveals hip hop artist [...]

Just like Pentavision told us, the DJ Max Metro Project isn’t a single game, it’s a house brand for a number of new DJ Max games. This was a hint that at least one new DJ Max Portable game was in development. Zach M. points us to (thanks!!) Ruliweb which shows two of them. DJ [...]

Pentavision put DJ Max Portable 2 in stores last week and there are a couple of videos that show how it plays. Not much has changed, but maybe it’s not a big deal. Fans of the first game are bound to enjoy the new techno tunes and finger blistering gameplay that the DJ Max Portable [...]

Pentavision knows how to sell a special edition. The DJ Max Portable 2 Orpheus Package ~Metallic Silver~ Limited Edition set has the a three disc sound track, art book, jigsaw puzzle, sixteen postcards and the game. Fans of Pentavision’s music/rhythm game take note, it’s going to be hard to track one of these down. The [...]
