Yeah doubles has been around since like... forever. "Why did they bother taking it out" is what I've been wondering. I guess 'cause of the whole "it sucks to attach two soft mats together" thing. Tried it with duct tape years ago... not smart. xP But doubles gives people more arrows and crazier-yet-still-cool step patterns to work with, I think.

Hey Fairy, you should give it a go when the game comes out. In the arcades I'm OK at it, though I'd be a lot better if it didn't cost me a $1.50 a credit. Unfortunately I don't really have the space for it, though if I did you better believe I'd be playing it. HARD. Anyways, doubles play actually works very well once you get accustomed to the new step patterns it throws at you. Typically doubles offers a completely different take on a song's chart and in some cases it would turn out better than the singles chart. Some were easier, some were much harder.

With this in mind, it almost makes me want them to revive the HP1 and 2 songs that made it in DDRX so we can finally get the doubles charts home. Both Loving You and Will got much better doubles charts than what their singles counterparts were. They made more sense.

The songs would be OK to me. I have just one expectation. I wanted the songs to have a music video and WITHOUT the screen filter. Let's just hope that there is an option to turn it off.

Is Choreograph mode returning? D8 The trailer didn't seem to indicate so, but...that was the funnest and best part of DDR 2010. Wii Balance Board mode should come back too. They can't turn the next DDR Wii into a 100% PS2 game, can they? 8D; I hope there's SOME kind of motion play in DDR. It was a silly gimmick, I know, but it is a lot of fun too. D8

The choreograph should be harder :/

G4TV did a floor report on DanceDanceRevolution II. There's nothing really amazing here, just a short interview with a Konami rep punctuated by various clips of DDR II (along with DDR 2010 and HP3, sigh). The rep did say that the game would have 30 license tracks and 30 KOs, so I guess we're going to get at least 60 tracks, not that that should be a huge surprise.

What I am surprised about is the fact that DDR II got so much coverage at E3. DDR 2010 got no coverage last year at E3 except for bemanistyle and HP3/X2 was largely the same. However, DDR II got coverage from IGN, Gamespot, and G4TV. I wonder why.

I was curious about that too, but I wasn't sure if he was just alluding to something that was available on the DDR 2010 360 game. If not, then maybe they are working on a PS3/360 version of the game.
