DDR II:
-Edit Mode
-70 songs
-20 foot scale
-challenge charts
-music videos full screen
-option to remove the ugly screen filter
-lots and lots more X2 AC songs
-difficult licenses
-licenses that aren't just pop
-please no more evolved/jun songs...it's getting old
-step charts made by the X2 team
-songs from previous mixes that we still haven't got yet like the L'amour Remix and Captivate ~chikai~

This. When was the last time NAOKI made a song under the alias DE-SIRE?

SuperNOVA 2 / Trip Machine PhoeniX

---

I think before that, it was Tsugaru. Though I could be wrong. Maybe it was Healing-D-Vision.

Nevertheless, De-Sire is one of his more popular aliases.

Well, I didn't post my wishlist for DDR II because I don't have a Wii, but I don't want my fellow players to have a craptacular game, so I'm chiming in with:

-Licenses that aren't lame and boring American pop garbage.
-Tough license charts... Take an example from Universe 3's Conga!
-Challenge charts (That are actually challenging, and aren't basic with shock arrows!)
-X ratings
-A few RDA songs, or a similar system itself
-Songs us Americans never got to see, such as L'amour Mercury, Jupiter, and I'm sure there's a few others as well.
-About 80-100 or so initial songs on the game disk, not including online-exclusives, Japanese versions of the game had 100+ songs, why can't we?

You mean "version", singular. Only one Japanese CS game had over 100 songs. Three Japanese PS2 releases (MAX, STR!KE, and Party Collection) had around 50 songs (or less), two (FESTIVAL and MAX2) had about 60-70 songs, three (SN, SN2, and X) had around 80 songs, and one (EXTREME) had over 100.

Quality over quantity. I would pop in Party Collection rather than EXTREME any day of the week.

Nope. Trip Machine Survivor (EXTREME). TSUGARU was before that.

Agreed about quality over quantity. I do agree that we need more than 75 songs on a disc (highest on any American DDR game, not including DLC), especially with the advent of Blu-Ray. However, I do understand why we get ~50 songs on disc, from a business standpoint.

SN2: TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX
SN : Let's just say Healing-D-Vision, and CHAOS
EXTREME we have TRIP MACHINE Survivor...

MAX2... TSUGARU, 5th TRIP MACHINE CLIMAX, 4th Healing Vision, 2nd SP-TRIP MACHINE (JUNGLE MIX), 1st (IR) TRIP MACHINE.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

---

You got 5th and 4th mixed up though.

---

*ahem* Well, here are my hopes, these are mostly for DDR II but many of them apply to X3 as well.

Licenses: I would really like to see license choices going back to SN2: some well-known songs mixed in with lesser known dance/club tracks. More Goldfrapp, Loveless, and Paul Oakenfold please! DDR 2010 especially was plagued with songs that just did not belong. Don't get me wrong, I love songs like Love Like This, I Got You, and Hey, Soul Sister, but suited for a dancing game they are not. At least try to include more danceable remixes of these songs. Also, I don't know who at Konami has such a boner for Natasha Bedingfield, but can you cool it down a little? This is now the FIFTH song of her to be featured in a DDR game and Strip Me is one of her least successful singles.

Also, I echo a lot of people's sentiments here when I ask for harder licenses. Hey, I get it, Konami's aiming for a more casual market with the licenses and they don't want to pull out SO DEEP-type charts, but that's no reason for a license list full of generic 6s and 7s. Bring out some 8s and 9s please!

Konami Originals: Honestly, the only thing I didn't like about X2's Konami Originals was that they put all the NAOKI/U1/jun/nc stuff on the CS games first and then slapped on the other BEMANI artists for the arcade game. I had to admit that I was kinda disappointed to not see any new content from the usual DDR team on the arcade game, it would've been cool to have them mix and match stuff a little bit. Also, stick with the good vocalists and weed out the bad ones please. Did we really need THREE songs from Aliesha G.? Luckily, it looks like they're going back to hh.com vocalists which is fine by me.

Crossovers: No big complaints here, but it would be nice to see more crossovers from things outside beatmania IIDX, but I suppose it's understandable that they borrow so heavily from that.

Charts: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HIRE BACK THE X2 WRITERS OR AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Honestly, there are people who are working on this series who have been with it for over a decade, how can they let garbage like Seasons make it past the cut? I know you still have good stepwriters with you, there's no way the 8-panel charts on DDR PS3 were done by the same people who did the other charts, they're way too good.

Anywhoozles, just my two cents~

DDR II
-together 4ever(if it is a bemani song... I'm not sure...) and kiss kiss kiss -akira koubo mix-
-more euro/dance/beat
-any orange lounge song
-a jun "easy" happy jun song
-"secret rendez-vouz video remake" It would be awesome... (Oh well atleast I can dream)

together 4ever is from pop'n music 15, so yeah, it's a BEMANI song.

i dont care for X3 so this list is all for DDR 2011

"bring saints go marching" back!

new + Japanese songs

good mats (i guess this is the same for X3)

DLC (the wii needs a chance with this to you know)

more songs from; TERRA, Tatsh, Jun, etc.

being able to turn off the abxy buttons on the mat

VS online play (chose songs like on guitar hero 3)

online score keeping thats tells u the points they got and what controller they use. (such as the Mat, Gamecube controller, wii mote + nuchunk, or wii classic controller)

My only hope for DDR 2011 is for HP characters to be in too.

As for difficulty, meh. ._. I couldn't care less how "hard" or "easy" a chart is as long as it's fun to step to. You don't need a million arrows in one song for it to be fun and challenging. Plus why not give yourself a challenge? Play with the arrows reversed, speed the arrows up a little, shuffle the arrows, etc? You can't expect them to hand you EVERYTHING.

A hard challenge is good, but it's not everything.

And I don't mind NAOKI not using a million aliases like he did in other games. OTL I get annoyed when I see some cool name, only to find out it's NAOKI.

Fixed. Also, despite the similar names, I don't really count Healing-D-Vision, unless that was an error in production.

Not to mention, she still can't sing and never has been able to.

I agree with the entirety of the PiePost. It gains my full endorsement.

I long for actual dance licenses with interesting steps, and while interesting doesn't always mean challenging, the barrage of 6's and 7's in DDR2010 were not interesting or challenging. Furthermore, it's not enough for a song to be popular and good, it needs to belong in a dance game, and the DDR2010 licenses did not belong in DDR.

Fire the entire HP2 step team forever and only use the X2 team. It's insane, like Pie said, that 13 years of DDR and we still get shit charts. X2 was a hit in this regard, keep that as the standard please.

Also, please stop lowering the difficulty standard. Songs that would be 7's in SuperNOVA are rated like 8's now, and what feels like an old 8 gets rated 9 now. But the best solution is to just unify AC and CS ratings; use the 20-point scale! Use the same ratings as AC! And use Challenge difficulty, please! I don't know any beginner that sees a hard Challenge chart and runs away screaming from the game for being too hard. Plus. you guys just threw in POSSESSION, I think some 12-14 Challenge charts on other songs would not be too amiss.

Lastly, I hate Goods not breaking combo. Can we change that please, we already have 3 step judgements that continue combo, full combos are less special when there's only one step, which is to miss the step entirely, that breaks combo.

---

These wishes are for the wii game and some probably won't come true but it's worth wishing for them:
-Full versions on all songs
-More 8's & 9's (Classic scale) or 13's and 14's (X-Scale)
-X-Scale
-Bemani Crossovers (that would be so awesome to have a wii game that isn't all Konami Originals and Licenses
-Some X2 Crossovers
-Diamond Dust
-The promised 60 songs
-Good charts (Am I asking for too much here?)
-Good licenses
-A MASTER mode

---

-Revivals we haven't seen before. I'm tired of them reviving the same old songs. If the Ultramix series was able to pull out some deep cuts, why shouldn't the main series?
-PROPER, REGULAR DLC. No delays, DLC from the start, good blend of tunes, maybe even some originals in there. The Ultramix series would be another good example of this
-Courses. Oni and Nonstop, maybe even Dance Drill style.
-Edit Mode. 'Nuff said.
-X-Scale, good licenses, good originals by varied artists, good crossovers, no more Jun bosses, etc.
-GOOD CHARTS. I mean come on now. You mean to tell me that you can't make a licence chart harder than a 7? Cut the generic crap and make some fun charts, dammit. Is that too much to ask? yes NO.

For X3:

Offline eAmuse system, where you can save your data on your eAmuse card or maybe USB without requiring access to the online eAmuse service. This way you can save your progress without internet connection so these things like RDA would work!

Song wise, I'd like more Dancemania revivals, especially these Trance songs from MAX and MAX2 era, was great! So Deep FTW!
