00:00By the late 90s, Konami had become increasingly frustrated with the lack of power the 16-bit
00:05consoles provided, especially when compared to the newly released Sega Saturn and the
00:11PlayStation.
00:12This led them to make a risky move, pulling all of their development staff off of console
00:17games and instead focusing their efforts on PC software.
00:21For a while, this seemed to be a smart move.
00:24One of their PC releases, Dance Dance Revolution, became a massive hit.
00:30Spawning countless sequels and spinoffs, but unfortunately, this success blinded them to
00:35what was going on elsewhere within the company.
00:37They continued to release successful music games over the next few years, but it wasn't
00:43long before people started to notice that something was missing.
