Bemani Pocket
The Bemani Pocket (ビーマニポケット) series was a short-lived attempt by Konami to capitalize on the market of portable entertainment in the late 1990s. They were introduced on the Japanese market in 1998 and they featured versions of most Bemani games, from Beatmania to ParaParaParadise.
Beginning in 1998, Bemani Pocket games were used by Nintendo in collaboration with St.GIGA as prizes for national Satellaview competitions and events.
