Significantly more tracks than most DDR titles? Hm, I want a number to prove, darn it!

But nice that we've got Butterfly and DUB-I-DUB.

Ex-fucking-cuse me?




...need to be banished from Bemani.

And no really awesome songs, except perhaps R5 and Insaner.


I still don't believe Butterfly is on there until screenshots are available. Licenses aren't supposed to be repeated among home versions.

Yeah. She should wear raggedy clothes because the song is...well, raggedy.

Let's hope not. They would just be making the game easier instead of harder, like they SHOULD be doing.

IGN have posted their preview.

One of the new features is the introduction of Shock Arrows (nothing to do with electrified bows being used as weapons – unfortunately). The Shock Arrows appear on-screen as lightning icons and must be avoided unless you want to lower your score.

DDRX has also tweaked the traditional difficulty system. Rather than the old 10-point scheme you can select between 13 different levels of difficulty. Looks like they were struggling for bullet points to add to the game with this idea.

As previously announced, DDRX will support a brand new LAN mode where eight players can compete against each other over four PS2 consoles. Thankfully the trusty dance mats from previous PS2 DDR games are completely compatible with Dance Dance Revolution X. It may be an aging franchise on an aging console but at least Konami has introduced some new features and a truckload of tracks into this anniversary edition.

I do think Butterfly is in there as it is a classic of the DDR Series. What a better way of celebrating 10 years with one of the most recognizable song from DDR, but of course until we see a screenshot, nothing is fo sho.


Edit: Everyday that passes by it gets more and more exciting...AWESOME!

Looks like 13 footer system is properly confirmed but still no images of the "lightning" arrows...

What?! That was news? I was reading it earlier and had no clue.

Yup! at least we now can "imagine" how they are going to look like...

Wait, aren't those supposed to have red cheeks and cute little chubby's connected to them?

It's still ambiguous to what they mean by avoid. Avoid it like ITG or just don't mistakenly step on it like poison arrows and/or the gimmicks in HOTTEST PARTY?

We should see by tomorrow.

Look for that in Hottest Party X.

OK, DDR X difficulty name maybe still named with , , , , . Don't say 13 different difficulties that means each song have 13 different difficulties from level 1 footer until 13 footer. Woah, that crazy.

---

Just to be clear, I quoted that from IGN. I didn't say it myself. And they do mean that there is a 1-13 scale.

OK, so DDR X will become the first DDR which using new foot rating until 13 footer?

---

Do you know any others?

Edit: GameSpot hands on preview online.

BUTTERFLY and DUB-I-DUB confirmed from that.

Wow, Dub-I-Dub appear again on DDR arcade after DDR 5th Mix. Maybe Holiday, Petit love, Never ending story ,etc will appeared too.

---

Al... UG just posted that at the top of the page o.o;

---

D'oh, didn't see that.

Extended difficulty scale to 13?
Interesting.
