DDR X2 (AC) (International)

am-net says upgrade kits will cost 248,000 Yen or about $2,700. That's significantly cheaper than upgrade kits for DDR X, which were 348,000 yen or about $3,800.

Makes sense, since this is just a software upgrade (as opposed to the DDR X upgrade - which included not only the BemaniPC hardware to replace the Python 2 hardware from SuperNOVA, but also USB slots and an entirely new front control panel).

---

Is that the cost of upgrading from any mix or just DDR X?

maybe is the cost for upgrading from DDRX.

Well, this is their way of fixing the "Encore Extra MFC/PFC/FC with an E" glitch...

---

? What glitch is that?

I believe it's when you play the Encore Extra stage but get an NG on the last freeze arrow, causing you to fail with the NG but still full combo the song.

actually, why does that work when NGs combo break?

More information from am-net:

There will be over 70 new songs for a total of over 400 songs in the game that will appeal to a wide variety of users.

This is not 1.5x as much new content as DDR X. :V
Admittedly, Stillwind's death may have affected that.

To be fair, we don't know if "new songs" counts from CS songs or not. SuperNOVA didn't go around advertising 100+ new songs.

It seems like they're treating all the HP3/MF/X2 CS songs as brand new... I'm just wondering what exactly they'd pick as CS crossovers. They're tapping out on the PS2 releases, and I don't think they're going to extensively pull stuff from the previous Wii games (although we could be proven wrong again). I just hope that some Universe 3 material makes it to AC (or ANY XB360 material, for that matter.)

We can't do that on X.

More news on DDR X2. This comes from pamphlets sent to Arcades yesterday.

Two new modes "HAPPY" and "PRO" mode will be included. "HAPPY" mode is intended for news users to understand the game and "PRO" mode is designed for advanced players.

New songs from popular IIDX artists like "Ryu", "dj TAKA", and "kors k" will be present. There's also talk of having the two games be more related or something.

Here's the information by Ariesu no Kobeya

It has weekly internet ranking, three events, modified rival function, customizable costume

then enhance connection to beatmania IIDX.


We may have more IIDX crossovers...

DanceDanceRevolution X2 LINK VERSION with beatmania IIDX 18 CLUB VERSiON.

Edit: It was a joke.

---

Nah, what he means by that is the game will be more akin to beatmaniaIIDX.

It says something about using PASELI to customize things and to "expand sequences". Sequence=Stepchart?

I'm guessing extra charts for songs?

maybe, or more edits??

more: Geez... We don't have e-amusement, and now, PASELI + e-AMUSEMENT for DDR X2... This sounds amazing, but i doubt about the probability of PASELI, even e-AMU here.

So no one's posted any videos of X2 yet? Or were they deleted?
