Link Disc was a feature used in all previous DJ Max games to unlock new skins, notes, and music files. OST Mode, Album, and Link Disc options are also missing. The issue with this omission is that it wasn't replaced with any other mode, not even the barebones playlist mode from DJ Max Portable. The Club Tour mode introduced in Clazziquai/ Black Square is also gone, which served as a campaign-type method to unlock new songs, skins, and notes. 8B, 6BFX and 8BFX mode were also removed. 5B mode (originally introduced in 2) is gone, a mode previously used to ease the transition from 4-Button mode to the significantly more complex 6-button mode. Many of the additions and tweaks introduced to the series through Black Square and Clazziquai Edition are gone, as well as certain features introduced as far back as DJ Max Portable 2. While it promised a revival of sorts to the series numbered continuum, a host of features are significantly lacking from DJ Max Portable 3. They take up the two new lanes added to the user interface and are activated by hitting the Square, Triangle and Circle buttons in combination with the Analog Stick being held to the left or right. Sampler Notes are synthesizer notes that activate sound effects and samples. They are based on turntable mixing, cross-fading and scratching. Turntable Notes are purple notes that are activated with the analog stick. The mode will introduce two new note types: Turntable notes and Sampler notes. For example, 6B Remix Mode would be 6.2T Mode. The mode, known as X.2T, will be compatible with every previous difficulty mode. Remix Mode is the newest addition to the DJ Max Portable franchise. Similarly, Croove has taken over the role as Producer. Instead, DJ Max music veterans Bexter and Planetboom are directing the title. On September 9th, 2010, a 1000 copies, Limited Edition version of the game was made available by pre-order exclusively through .Īs opposed to previous entries of the franchise, ponGlow is neither directing or producing the title. A PlayStation Network version of the game was released on October 19th, 2010 for download. It was simultaneously released in Korea by Pentavision Entertainment and in North America by PM Studios on October 14th, 2010. It features over 50 all new songs, a new beginner mode, a new game mode called Remix that also includes a re-vamped user interface, high-definition background videos and graphics, and more in-depth customization options. DJ Max Portable 3 is the third numbered installment in the DJ Max Portable franchise and is developed by Pentavision Entertainment and published by Neowiz Games, with PM Studios taking publishing duties in North America.
