Funny story about Let Them Move. A long time ago there was a poll on ddrfreak asking players to vote on the Konami Originals in DDR. Since DDR was only up to 5th Mix, there weren't many choices. Everyone could cast 5 likes and 5 dislikes. The results of the poll were going to be used to force Sota to remix whatever we wanted. We voted for Dynamite Rave #1 and Drop the Bomb #2. (I don't think Do It Right was #3. I'd be surprised if it beat B4U or Paranoia. The poll results are long gone.) Most of the songs got no votes. For example Silent Hill was 0 likes / 3 dislikes or something. It's a good song, but not memorable enough to make anyone's top 5 or bottom 5. Even Dynamite Rave was like 140/30 or something if I remember correctly. (Trolls.) But one song had drastically more dislikes than likes: Let Them Move. It had as about as many dislikes as the winners had likes.
DDR MAX was still a year out, so Jason Enos (a marketing guy and community manager for DDR) begged KOJ to make something, anything, for KOA to ship in 2001 because he was afraid that DDR would lose momentum if it took a year off. Hence, Konamix. Then the results of this poll came in. Mr. Enos requested that Let Them Move be dropped from the game because we had such specific hatred of it. KOJ said no. (Then he told us that KOJ put the song in the game despite our poll and he got in trouble for throwing KOJ under the bus. Then he told us that too. What a boss.) Anyways, Konamix was the last time anyone ever heard Let Them Move.

Let Them Move -Cyber Trance Style- would've been a beautiful disaster.

Also, I'm gonna bet that if Reo Nagumo comes back to music games, it's probably gonna be for CrossxBeats, since most of the older BEMANI alumni are doing stuff for that series.
I just realized something: Next year is gonna be the 20th anniversary of Beatmania/Bemani in general; one could only hope we're gonna see something super awesome by then (maybe Beatmania 1st Mix HD? XP)

We survived the X purge. And the SuperNOVA purge.
And you complain about one song? Tch, you wouldn't have survived 2008.

I'm still wondering why some songs from the DDR X test location were removed in the final release.

Are any of you gonna go play DDR 2014 when it comes to DnB? I am, hopefully.
Of course I am! Let's hope the song list stays the same for the most part, but there are some songs I'd actually be HAPPY if they removed.

Literally all you said has been discussed thoughtly here, about right before it turned into discussion about a single ancient song being removed.
Yeah, I noticed that. When I first got here to see if it had been said, I literally only saw 13 posts in the thread. The site was being wonky, I guess.These are exciting times. We get another new chance for DDR here in America.

TAKASKE's latest attempts at OTP CDP. First one is with CUT2+JUMP OFF, which he passed, and the second one is normal.
Shame about those 2 misses in the second video that he got right at the beginning.

Those songs couldn't be unlocked outside of their events, both of which ended.

Did BisCo actually end? The event is only a part of BeatStream 1, not BeatStream 2, so my understanding was that you could still finish the event if you had access to BeatStream 1 (which is unlikely today, and service would be terminated if it hasn't been already).

The BisCo event ended on December 21st, 2015, as can be seen on the event site.

Question for people that played the DDR 2014 location test in Cali
How much was it to play?
Dollar?

During the test location at Round1 for Singles, It was $1 for 2 songs. I take it that it was set to 2 songs to make sure that the lines didn't last too long when there were lines. For Premium mode, it was $2 for 2 songs.
At Dave & Buster's in Irvine during their test location of DDR 2014, the price was "6.8 chips" for 2 songs, however much that means. I'm personally still unsure how the chip system works, so I can't honestly say how much that is worth in Dollars unfortunately. >.>"

$10 gives you 48 chips, $20 gives you 100 chips, $75 gets you 550 chips, and $100 gets you 750 chips at D&B.

Dave and Busters did say that about half the locations will have it by July or so? Also, is it confirmed if we're getting legit, functioning cabs this time?

1) Yes, approx. half of the locations. Texas slated to get at least 1 cabinet. Ohio to get 0. Don't know any more than that.
2) Date is "this summer" and no more specific than that.
3) It's been discussed about every other page; cabinets will be identical to Japanese cabinets and shipped overseas. As of this time, there will be no middle-man in cabinet production.
