DanceEvolution & DanceMasters (Xbox 360 Kinect) (International)

KoA needs to fire their boxart department, since this is just beyond silly now. At least, that boxart doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Japanese boxart:

Ha, already infinitely better than the US one.

I still like the "lifestream" and particles effect

---

this x 1000000000000000000000000

Sigh, why is this such an issue with KONAMI?

---

Can't wait to see what they've done to the EU one.

---

Should be similar to the US one or same style with the HP3 one.

---

Temp packshot, but with the PEGI logo, this could be our box art. Not crap for once if true!

Rather lazy job, but hey, it's not a HP job.

---

I don't get why Konami never just uses game assets on its US box art.

---

Seems like it's finally the US's turn to get screwed over by Konami.

So tally:

EU = i don't even know how many times.
US = about 3 or 4?
JP = 0...ok maybe 1 or 2.

---

What were those times, again?

DDR X PS2 was a little bit disappointing. That's it.

---

I'd consider Festival a bit of a screw over. It was a pretty big letdown after Extreme CS and even Party Collection (quality>quantity)

But at the same time, quality can bring out the quantity in DDR games. I mean, DDR Extreme has a shitload of songs (over 100, correct?) and so it's already considered the best PS2 DDR game for that reason alone.

Anyway, why are we talking about DDR? This is for Dancemasters, a completely different game. Sort of.

Anyone think there will eventually be an arcade version for this game?

It does have over 100, some people consider it to be the best, others don't. I personally enjoy Party Collection and DDR Max more than I did Extreme. (not to say I didn't like it). As far as why were talking about DDR, Max just pointed out the US boxart sucks and that we might be getting the short end of the DanceMasters stick. That led to a comparison (in terms of DDR I guess) of how many times Konami has supposedly screwed over each country. Also, I highly doubt we'll ever see an arcade game of this.

Finally found the European site: http://www.konami-dmstar.com/danceevolution/

Nice of them to finally post the links up at the European sites isn't it? The site's been there since August...

THAT IS THE AMERICAN BOX ART!
