Konami’s newest Bemani title is on it’s way. Alpha Station and am-net have both dropped details on the latest jubeat incarnation. (Pronounced YOU-BEAT, not JEW-BEAT)

The name, jubeat ripples APPEND, appears to suggest that this will be more of an upgrade than a brand new game, but it seems there will be enough content in ripples APPEND to have any jubeat fan counting the days to its release.

In all, ripples APPEND promises to boast a songlist of over 130 songs, including over 20 new songs to the series. Not surprisingly, those 20 new songs will include some popular licensed music tracks, but Beatmania IIDX fans may now have a reason to get into jubeat, as ripples APPEND will apparently have a “collaboration” with IIDX 17: SIRIUS. Although they don’t really elaborate on that, but it appears you will able to unlock hidden songs in ripples APPEND by playing SIRIUS, which may just mean that you’ll be seeing a few SIRIUS crossovers in ripples APPEND.

jubeat ripples APPEND will be released in Japanese arcades in March 2010, and upgrade kits will sell for the uber-cheap price of 98,000 Yen (which in today’s topsy turvy relationship between the Yen and the Dollar, converts to just under $1,100.).
