Intro of the game

Sometime in the year 2000, Konami has teamed up with iNiS corporation, Hands On Entertainment Inc. and Oracion to develop a typing video game based on the beatmania series; it was known as beatmania DA!! (sometimes confused with the PS2 version of the game known as beatmania DA!! DA!! DA!!).

A sequel to this game, known as "beatmania BEST DA!!", was released in the same year, plus a PS2 version based on this game was released in 2002.

Similar to the arcade beatmania games, it instead it uses the keyboard as a controller for this version. Most of the songs are based on the arcade version, but modified to make it different for the keyboard.

For years, no copies of the game were uploaded/found on the internet, due to Japan's strict anti-piracy (file sharing) laws. However, a handful of videos about the game have been made available on the internet.

Update (August 13, 2016)

A trial version of beatmania Da!! claimed to be available for download. However, the self-extracting archive fails to extract the installer, making it impossible to install/play the trial.
