Beatmania IIDX Club Version was released on April 21, 1999 by Konami to the Japanese arcade audience.

[1] Beatmania IIDX tasks the player with performing songs through a controller consisting of seven key buttons and a scratchable turntable.

[2] Hitting the notes with strong timing increases the score and groove gauge bar, allowing the player to finish the stage.

According to Foster, many players were initially not impressed with performing old songs on upgraded hardware, so they switched to Beatmania 4th Mix.

Bemani developed several updates to the game after its release, including Beatmania IIDX Club Version.
