DDR HP3 / DDR MUSIC FIT (Wii) (International)

Yep, I mentioned that pages back in the DDR2009 thread.

Those two videos, unless toned down*, will push the games' rating to no lower than a T.

*like hell they'll do it...

Future Shop has joined the bandwagon and finally listed the bundle:

edit:
I just realized something. Going back to that vid pie linked us to on the preceding page...

Notice at 0:56: If you look closely, the bottom left shows DDR POINTS which may very well suggest that the HP series is getting a Shop for the first time.

Well that would be interesting If we went back to a shop now wouldnt it?

Yeah, it sure would! A la SuperNova.

Anyone thinking about getting this game may want to order it now as Amazon has it on sale for $11.00 off.

If only I could. Any expectations of when we'll be getting more detailed info in preparation for release in only a few days?

Konami did say on their DDR twitter account to "stay tuned" and that they had stuff for us, but we're a week and a half away already .

Konami's published a HD trailer for HP3.\

Great new gimmicks!

---

Too bad it's not a new one... Oh well. At least it helped me get more excited for This Night.

Note about pie's post, X2 is only $1 off.

---

When did they say we could expect this to be available in Europe? Early next year?

---

Did you just use "expect" and "Europe" in the same sentence?

---

Europe expects dissapointment on a consistant basis.

But we remain hopeful. Hope is all we have in these dark times...

I still say that Hottest Party 3 would be so much better with the DLC offered in the Xbox and PS3 versions, it's not like the Wii couldn't do it.

---

Tell me about it. It wouldn't have been hard to execute considering Pop 'n' Music has DLC. To me, it's inexcusable (more inexcusable than the lack of online play -- which, BTW, I'm more than happy to live without due to the large amount of content and innovation they're adding).

Almost makes me wish that Neversoft would make 'Dance Hero' already so that Vicarious Visions could port it to the Wii and give us a (possibly) really good dancing game with proper online and downloadable content.

Konami can be REALLY lazy sometimes, as we have all no doubt seen, I'd love to see what would happen if DDR had a proper rival series to compete with.

So, where is the complete songlist? See below for why I'm wondering. I can't find it on the Official Site or even on DDROC. Maybe it's not available yet......?

PR:

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced DanceDanceRevolution will be available in retail stores nationwide on Wii and PlayStation®2 beginning Tuesday, October 27. Also revealed for the first time, is the full song list for DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 3 and DanceDanceRevolution X2. New licensed master tracks from some of today's hottest acts will make DanceDanceRevolution a must for gamers old and new.

Players will be able to dance to the beat of an expansive library of over 40 great songs, including the following hits recorded by the original artists:

Ne-Yo- "Closer"
Coldplay- "Viva La Vida"
Rick Astley- "Never Gonna Give You Up"
Lady Gaga- "Just Dance"
Depeche Mode - "Enjoy The Silence"
Vanilla Ice- "Ice Ice Baby"
Natasha Bedingfield- "Pocket Full of Sunshine"
Pitbull- "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)"
Black Eyed Peas- Let's Get it Started"

Also included are over 20 tracks of original music composed by the Bemani development team.

In the latest Wii version, DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 3, players will be introduced to Balance Board Mode. In this high energy, low impact mode, players trade their feet to utilize their hips, waist and hands with the Wii Balance Board™ and Nunchuk. This all new mode will be sure to add a whole new level of gameplay to DanceDanceRevolution. Players still will be able to use their DanceDanceRevolution controller mat for classic gameplay.

DanceDanceRevolution X2, for PlayStation 2, introduces the brand new Dice Master Mode where players roll the dice to receive a dance challenge and compete to be the ultimate DanceDanceRevolution champion.

If players really would like to put their DanceDanceRevolution skills to the test against the nation's best, they can compete in the DanceDanceRevolution national tournament taking place through December 2009 in select cities across the country. The best of the best will compete in a high-stakes dance off in select GameWorks locations nationwide, culminating in the DanceDanceRevolution finals in Las Vegas.

DanceDanceRevolution will be available on October 27, 2009. For screenshots, product information complete tracklistings and more, please visit our product page at http://www.konami.com/ddr

Konami's released "new" screens for HP3. They are mostly GamesCom screens mixed in with unreleased E3 screens. The only really new screen is this bizarre one, simply tagged "Wii_sky"



EDIT: Yeah, that PR thing is confusing me as well. They've yet to actually post that on Konami.com though, so maybe they'll give out the songlist when they do that.

Wait over 40 songs and then 20 KO's? Wasn't it 30-30?
