DanceDanceRevolution (Wii) (International)

A little more description from the E3 page:

That description makes it sound like in some ways that it's gunning for Just Dance this year. Especially with what looks like an upgraded Hyper Move Mode and all.

Good to see the screen filter. That was pretty much the only major thing I wanted them to add to the interface and they now have it available.

The return of Balance Board is great news. Now give it Expert charts and we'll be good to go.

It's also apparent that Hyper Move Mode is returning in a more sophisticated form. Looks like it mimics Helix with arrow smashing now. We'll see where this goes this year, but at the minimum it should be more interactive than HMM from HP3, which IMO is nothing but good news. Oh, and Expert charting please.

One thing that I'd really hope for is that the license difficulty gets beefed back up to HP1/HP2. It made NO sense whatsoever last year how there were absolutely NO good 9s in the 30 licenses, not to mention the fact that most of the 7s and lower were very pedestrian. Disturbia was my Marvelous attack song of all things.

As of right now the songlist is still a complete mystery, and until that's revealed there really isn't a whole lot else to talk about.

Expert charts of Balance Board is a must, yes.

Hypermove Mode indeed looks upgraded, seemingly requiring only hand motions now. Reminds me of Helix as well.

I WANT THE HAND MARKER SYSTEM BACK FROM HP2 THOUGH.

Here's to hoping there's more news tomorrow...

I wonder if "HP4" released on Japan version too ,similiar with DDR Music Fit.

Probably yes on year 2011.

First E3 2010 DDR video found on Youtube, probably expecting more videos before, during, and after the Konami conference.

Forewarning, there really isn't much gameplay except for a couple of shots into the game and...you can barely hear the music with all the noise coming from all around the show floor :/

NPD3~

I find it brillant that for me the Konami E3 website just crashed completely when the timer expired in my time zone. Now it is stuck on a repeating loop trying to find the press feed page. Opps nope now it is crashed again.

---

It is happening for all of us, so your not alone

---

I'm in the pacific time zone, so obviously I'm not experiencing that particular problem. Unfortunately for me, the site just keeps going down.

I adjusted by computers time to Pacific time and that fixes the error for me. So someone on that webteam was just lazy. Kinda like me on Fridays.

The site occasionally goes down completely on me too. Keep refreshing the page. Whereas, I am off to starbucks where I can get a better download speed of the broadcast, and can start pre-composing my post-conference news articles on the new stuff coming out.

---

Think of the people in the 23+ other time zones looping forever and ever.

This kind of reminds me when you have to sign up for summer classes online. Everyone is trying to be the early worm to pick the good classes so you'll always get the message of "site is too busy try again later". Many people are accessing the site. you either go through or you don't. I'd wait for four hours and try again.

---

By the way, its worth mentioning that both Let's Get Away and IN THE ZONE appear on the master songlist for X2 CS.

The entire Konami.com site just went completely down for me... at this pace I might as well wait for the G4TV.com broadcast tonight...

Yup, they set up those cameras for nothing.
