Piano Wizard: DDR type teacher / Game

<< < (2/4) > >>

KenToad:
It looks cool, but really nothing beats a real teacher and a real piano.  Even a terribly out-of-tune piano sounds infinitely better than a keyboard synthesizer, IMO.  Also, when you factor in dynamics and pedaling ...

However, I still would like to play with this.   :cheers:

I'm going to pop your bubble and explain that Konami actually made Keyboardmania a long time ago, you aren't at fault for not knowing about it - very few arcades have one because if you thought Beatmania had a high learning curve, Keyboardmania is a learning wall - you get crushed for a very long time. I only knew about it because once I had the Konami bug I researched most of the music games they made and there was an arcade a friend liked that had tons of music games. Very niche market stuff.

The best part is that there was a version of Keyboardmania that could be linked to Drummania and Guitar Freaks for linked play - that would be so much fun if I had friends who played these games. Well, first I need friends  :( .


Copied from the wiki:
There is also a simulator called DoReMi Mania, which uses *.pms files. However, players can use a midi-to-pms converter to simplify editing.

I remember using that program too, its really good and the converted midis play pretty well, advised if you don't mind playing midis and playing with .pms files  ;D .

Glaine:
Forgot to add, if you play the DoReMe simulator, you can supposedly plug in a midi keyboard into your PC as a controller and map the keys to the game.

I never got it to work but it sounds simple, I should try it again sometime when I want to get my butt handed to me.

Those are Japanese arcade releases... even WE, with our arcade obsession, aren't going to import $20,000 Bemani cabs.  These don't count in the "I could actually get it and use it in my home" category.

There is also DoReMi Mania, as listed, but of course that's a Japanese app with very little English out there on it.  I tried a while back to get that working and it just wasn't worth the effort given what it looked like it was going to be.

I still consider my bubble very much intact.

They made keyboard learning games for both the NES and SNES.
