History Trivia / DJMAX

* BadExportForYou -- The original ''Technika'''s Platinum Crew updates, in the overseas version, trailed the Korean verison's updates by a year. ''Technika 2'' corrects this so now players outside of Korea get updates at the same time.

** In a general sense, all of ''Respect'''s crossover DLC released several months after the other party's crossover. To be fair to Rocky Studio, all of the music games they've crossed over with so far (''VideoGame/GrooveCoaster'', ''VideoGame/{{Cytus}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Chunithm}}'', and ''VideoGame/{{Deemo}}'') do not have keysounds (every note plays part of the music) nor dedicated music videos, so they have an easier time getting their end of the crossover finished.

* HeAlsoDid: Oriental [=ST8=], the composer of "SQUEEZE", "Shoreline" and "Dear my lady", is better known by his VideoGame/{{beatmania}} alias [[https://vgmdb.net/artist/240 kors k]].

* ScheduleSlip: After the ''Technika 2'' DLC was released for ''Respect'', fans were expecting ''Portable 3'' to show up three months later, since the trend up until then was alternating DLC releases between the mainline series and ''Technika''. Instead, ''Technika 3'' showed up in its place. When Bexter was asked about what happened to the ''Portable 3'' DLC on ''Technika 3''[='=]s reveal livestream, he claimed that the development team was having difficulties implementing ''Portable 3''[='=]s remixing gimmick [[{{Retraux}} for Mission Mode]], so it ended up getting delayed.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59tstlFXDQU "Barbarous Funera"]] showed up for the first time outside of ''VideoGame/GirlsFrontline'' not in an official OST, but in ''DJMAX Respect''. If [[Website/{{Reddit}} /r/girlsfrontline]] is anything to go by, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/9b5766/girls_frontline_music_featured_on_djmax_respect/e50lkmh some players]] weren't even aware the song existed in-game at all.

** ''Respect'' might possibly get this treatment. The game's director [[https://www.reddit.com/r/djmax/comments/9ycbph/is_there_a_particular_reason_why_this_game_havent/ea0re8j mentioned]] that Switch and Xbox One ports are "being tested", but considering the PortingDisaster that was the Switch version of Superbeat [=XONiC=] (namely, the Switch's stock controller making it a chore to play), these builds may not ever see the light of day. DJMAX has also largely been a [[Creator/SonyComputerEntertainment Sony]] brand for almost all of its games (''Trilogy'' notwithstanding), so exclusivity deals may be an issue as well.

** ''Fever'' inverts this trope, being released in foreign markets but not in Korea. Not that Korean players are missing out on much, as it's just a selection of ''DJMAX Portable 1'' and ''2'' songs with the latter's engine and interface and a couple of new songs.

** [[WordOfGod Bexter]] cites the costs of obtaining an ESRB rating as the main reason why ''Respect'' didn't get a physical release in North America.

* ExecutiveMeddling -- Forte Escape, the producer of ''DJMAX Trilogy'', left Pentavision sometime last year[[strike:, leaving ''Trilogy'' update-less since April 2009]]. Not anymore. Two song updates this year, yeah.

** The dissolving of Pentaision by Neowiz, separation of the staff into different departments, abandonment of Technika Tune, the decision to focus solely on mobile games, and Technika Q being (at the time) updateless since Summer 2014, led to the death of the franchise. Thankfully the DJMAX team made Nurijoy.

** The first three ''DJMAX'' games and ''Trilogy'' never officially left Korea, though they all have Japanese and English language options for importers. ''Black Square'' was released in Japan, at the least.

** ''DJMAX Online'' never left Korea, Japan, or China. At the least, foreign players could use the latter two versions with no obstruction besides likely language barrier and hoop-jumping in order to do {{microtransaction}}s, while the former, like most other Korean online games, required a legitimate Korean resident identification number to make an account for.
