DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

This might answer your question


Such a shame EL RITMO TROPICAL did not make it

---

Oh noes. That sucks. Oh well. It should still be a good mix despite that...

---

But Strictly Business is on the OST. Maybe they forgot to mention that one?

---

Strictly Business has its issues IIRC...

---

well, better than ever. We will see how Konami and Betson does it better for this IAAPA.
To anyone attending IAAPA, Betson will be the one showing X3 vs 2nd Mix. Booth 2015. (nov. 14 to 18)
I hope things gets better this time and the Americas and Europe can get cab upgrades and all features (another e-amusement try or USB profiles?)

---

Since 2006, they have not given us an e-AMUSEMENT alternative.

DDR/DS SuperNOVA - Local machine song and course high scores plus global Internet ranking support.
DDR SuperNOVA2 - No machine local song high scores, only courses.
DDR X - Local machine song and course high scores. Flaky official USB EDIT support.
DDR X2 - Local machine song and course high scores. Flaky official USB EDIT support.

I really doubt they'll give us something. Otherwise the Japanese arcades will go: "What the hell? They don't need to pay for e-AMUSEMENT to get unlocks and score tracking!?"

I just realized that they didn't revive MAKE A JAM!. So the two songs I wanted aren't in the game

---

And the announce from BMIgaming saying the Arcades will be available only in japanese from now on... what the hell is happening here?
-
Well... Arcade sales for US is getting worse every month. But all happening in US is affecting the entire american market (DDR is shipped globally)
-
I think KDE should do something, instead of loafing aroung finding a partner in US, that will never be happen.
-
KDE should look forward other markets, like Latin American ones.
-
I hope Europe gets better luck.

About the revivals, Only original 2nd Mix songs got revived, not ones from Club version, or Link versions, unless KDE gives us a big surprise with the older Konami Original Songs.

---

Nevermind, I forgot that there were posts already put in.

---

Spoke with the arcade manager at Odaiba Leisure Land and over at St. Tropez (Ikebukuro) and Ikebukuro SPORT tonight. All of them say the expected arrival/release/whatever date of DDRX3 is November 30th, though that date is subject to change (they were told from their distributor)

---

I would like to see my country can get that machine in 2012 before the world's end

I don't know how Konami is thinking by making DDR even rare outside Japan...

---

THE SHINING POLARIS was in MAX US and MAX2 US before it was in SuperNOVA AC.

I'm guessing for the 2ndMIX stuff to be in this game, KONAMI had to license them again from EMI Music Japan.

LOVE and EL RITMO TROPICAL did not appear on the original 2ndMIX OST perhaps that's one of the reasons why they are not in there.

The songs listed are all licenses. MAKE A JAM! is a Konami Original.

I thought Make a Jam was 3rd mix

---

2nd mix link ver. So it may not even be on there.

Well, it's composed by U1, so it possibly came out first on the PSX version.

---

Is it confirmed they're showing DDRX3 at IAAPA? First I've heard of this.

I remember it being the artist heard Strictly Business on a ddr machine once and wanted it removed. That's what I remember anyway.

And I -think- Make A Jam was on DDR 1st mix ps1 japan too right? Along with Paranoia Dirty Mix and Paranoia KCET Clean Mix too?

-
Not fully. But you can go to confirm. Also, you can check some surprises or yell them for all the bad things about cabinets (or other thing you have on mind)
