Interesting Little Things in DDR

Also this;





Look very carefully at where the arrow on her jumpsuit is pointing. And Fox 6 news is only put off by the use of pills? It could be a mere coincidence? Pills are just a cylinder with rounded ends with two halves different colors...



Personally, I strongly advise people to think of Fox 6 news as entertainment and not actual news. I didn't watch it myself, but my relatives advise me it's unreliable. The people running it try so hard not to accept that racism exist and use the excuse "it has to do with religion". What idiots.

^ Well said. If Fox is gonna throw a fit over pills, we might as well ban Dr. Mario games as well.

Anyway, speaking of The Whistle Song, the bunny in the previous post was probably designated for a Dancing Stage Euromix 2 debut. Instead of her and some other movies, the song was meant to use the rotating kaleidoscope shapes movies.






...or at least, Kaliedoscope13;



However, for mysterious reasons, these movies were cut. I was unsure if 3 of the movies even appeared in DDRMAX2 7th Mix (arcade) until OMG KON revealed that DROP OUT (FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX)'s script never changed in EXTREME.

Original video production text:

始めは抽象的なムービー満載の、渋めな味付けの演出でした。が、突然うさぎのムービーが転がり込んできたのでありがたく使用させて頂きました。

妙なノリのこの曲にぴったりですよね。お気に入りです。
ムービー＆演出担当：RICE.C

Google translate (please provide a more accurate translation if you can);

The beginning of the abstract movies full, was the director of bitter flavors. There, I was allowed to use grateful because've been suddenly movie rabbit tumbling.

But it is perfect for this song of strange glue. It is a favorite.

I salute that young woman for helping replace that piece of crap Solo 2000 with a superior mix.

OMG KON speculates the only reason Solo 2000 is a thing is to have an excuse to put MY BABY MAMA (which he hates by the way) into the game...

You'll always know when its a slow news day. They start taking pot shot at video games.

Thomas Howard Lichenstein, the announcer from the first DDR game, has done the vocals for many different songs in the DDR series. Some of these include 'La Senorita', 'Heaven is a 57 metallic gray', and 'Silent Hill'(the Christmas song, not the horror game.). He also does vocals for other BEMANI games, like Guitarfreaks.

DDR EXTREME 2 on PS2 features several Dancemania Liscenses that had been removed prior to DDR EXTREME. This includes 'Butterfly (Upswing Mix)', 'Look At Us (Daddy DJ Mix)', 'Against All Odds', and 'Boom Boom Dollar KOG G3 Mix'. DDR SuperNOVA USA PS2 also includes 'Freckles KCP Re-Edit', even though all Dancemania liscenses were removed from the SuperNOVA games.

They didn't go through Dancemania/EMI to license these tracks outside of Japan. They went to their original (and then-current) rights holders to license anything found in the Dancemania series.

Other little things:

-DeltaMAX originated from a fanmade DDR arcade game called DDR Forever, in which it was the Extra Stage. Konami ended up shutting down the machine, but they later got DM Ashura to bring DeltaMAX into DDR Universe 3, and later DDRX2.

-Max. (Period) has never appeared in an English DDR game. It's only debut was EXTREME JP PS2 until it was revived in DDR 2014.

-It costs 57,300 points to purchase Paranoia Survivor MAX in Extreme 2.

-All the songs from MAX2 labeled as 'From Nonstop Megamix' are special remixes that debuted in the Nonstop Megamix soundtrack from DDR Solo. The only exception to this is Matsuri Japan [From Nonstop Megamix], which appeared in the Nonstop Megamix for 5th Mix.

-DDR II (Hottest Party 5) on Nintendo Wii is rated as PEGI 16 in Europe. (Probably because of a few of the liscenses)

-Sakura is playable in DDR Disney Channel Edition, but most people don't know this because you can only unlock it by getting a Marvelous Full Combo. Exotic Ethnic and Moment 40 are also unlocked this way. Did I mention that the timing on Disney Channel is absolutely broken?

DDR Forever? Is there any video/screenshots of that? Seems interesting.

I haven't been able to find any media in relation to it, but I've heard about it from other articles and people. I know OMGKON mentions something about it in the description for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ypDEFCGHw0 Direct quote:

"I have actually been playing this song for years before this song came out. Here is some history behind this song...

DM Ashura created this song for a special arcade (Tokyo Game Action) to put on their DDR machine running a special version of Stepmania. This mix was called "DDR Forever". It ran its own theme and has its own unofficial songs on it. ΔMax was the extra stage for this mix. Eventually Konami stepped in and politely asked for TGA to stop running the machine. Later DM Ashura released the simfile to the public with a story behind the creation of this song. Originally Konami did not want the song as it was too difficult for the average player. I guess eventually Konami changed their mind and added it into DDR Universe 3. Again this song was added into another DDR game - the arcade version of DDR X2. The charts were changed when Konami released it and DM Ashura's steps were a ton better then what Konami made them into. The song has also been slightly altered with different beats and noises at different parts of the song. The background was also changed, but Konami kept the number idea for the background.

Again this chart is pretty dang awful, however the song is great and brings back some memories of TGA for some people, as TGA no longer exists."

so "DDR Forever" is just an Extreme reskin

nice

That one song (can't remember the name because HP5's licences weren't very good at all) by The Ready Set was the thing that caused it, because in the music video someone gets punched. That's literally it. There's no blood, I doubt the punch even connects, but yeah, that's why.

These are the people that let the lyric display for All The Things She Said slide through "I'm in serious shit" completely unchanged in a 3+.

---

To be fair, a censored version (Blow My Whistle Baby) is in MAX2 CS US.

Wasn't there another Extreme reskin somewhere? I think it was called DDR Megamix

DDR Megamix and DDR Extreme Plus are infamous for being DDR Exteme bootlegs. One of them even has a special feature to speed up a song by 10/20%, and this is dangerous for the arcade cabinet CPU.

The only thing censored about it is that they changed the secondary title to it. The lyrics are still there, no edits whatsoever. To make things worse, they added the official music video to it.
