DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

I could think of a lot of Aqua songs that could be in DDR if you cut them right, but since Barbie Girl is on Sparkle and it's their biggest hit here (They were much more successful overseas, but i think Doctor Jones did well over here) They'll use it. But PLEASE cut it and chart it right, or i'll know.

I hope the product development team of Konami in charge of DDR would also include the following on their final release of the arcade cabinet of DDR X 3 this coming December, 2011. If these happens, I thank them in advance.

Turn of notes (Aside from Off, Mirror, Left, Right, and Shuffle).
> Switch left and down
> Switch left and up
> Switch left and right
> Switch down and up
> Switch down and right
> Switch up and right
> Switch left & down and up & right
> Switch up & down and left & right
> Absolute shuffle

Appearance (Only for the upgrade kit for changing the edition of DDR on its first generation arcade cabinet from X 2 [Or earlier] to X 3. Suggested keys to use onto the respective players during game play: While pressing down [Start] button, tapping either [Yellow left] or [Yellow right] button.)

> Hidden plus and sudden plus

Noteskin

With this many options this would require e-Amuse or some sort of off-game setup feature to save to one's profile. Some of these features (obviously inspired from Stepmania) just would take too long to set up in an arcade like environment. I know that it could all be selected on a second screen after the first menu screen before the song starts but that's still a lot of time taken away from the game if you had to do this every single time. Not saying it would be a bad idea but that's a lot of extra options to change if they weren't saved. Would be nice if we could have some sort of profiling system in DDR *cough* e-Amuse.

Any song information about X3 ?

Especially licence songs.

Don't put horrible licences from HP4.

Maybe better from DDR II like Only Girl (in The World), Baby - Justin Bieber, etc.

Aqua have a new album coming out next week, so I don't think it's out of the question that they'd jump at the chance to get promotion in a videogame right now.

Hm... ?

I dunno if Aqua now revived.

Megalomania-October 3rd. I'm excited as heck

Give them your money now.

I'm getting that album no matter what. I'm an Aqua fan until the end.

I'd buy it if the music wasn't so explicit. I do like Dirty Little Pop Song though.

Roses Are Red would work well in DDR IMO. But i would like to see something by them make it (Don't start with Cartoon Heroes (Speedy) It was great, buuuuuuut it was a remix)

... All of my money. All of it. Hell, I was wondering when they were going to release a new album, with the random songs they kept releasing (Spin Me a Christmas, My Mamma Said, etc.).

---

My Mamma Said was one of the 3 new songs featured on the new Greatest Hits album, along with Back To The 80's and Live Fast-Die Young

Oh please no. I prefer more japanese licenses.

---

If they follow X and X2, we may get a few American licenses on X3 vs. 2ndMIX but I wouldn't pull for anything too popular. The licenses they chose for X2 AC were not smash-hit songs compared to some of the other licenses in HP3 (like Just Dance, Disturbia etc.).

It would be cool to get Rocket and Spice Up Your Life in the arcade though! Especially since the latter song is by an artist that had a few songs in Dancemania.

EDIT: Actually, Spice Up Your Life was an actual Dancemania song!

Only Girl might now be too bad. I hope the chart will be good though. Rocket and Spice up Your Life would be nice on the arcade.

Those were on the Greatest Hits album that co-incided with their recent tour. The new album is entirely new material.

Don't You Want Me and This Time I Know It's For Real are Dancemania songs as well.

I wonder if Happy Boys And Girls could make it. It seems like it could be a good fit, But we'll never know what works and what doesn't until they actually put it in there

It was also a cover.

^^ This statement is also correct. The original wouldn't have worked IMO
