DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 (AC) (Japan)

I hate mines too. I don't need useless crap clogging the screen when I'm trying to read the arrows. I want a pad without that cursed 1/4" recessing tripping me up. >_< You guys playing in your shoes might not notice, but I play in my socks, and I feel the difference on every song. Hands are find with me, they add something extra to the game.

You're right. I don't feel anything when they're recessed, but when it's level, I do feel it and it's annoying.

Mines are retarded. I look at like...

"ok this is a dancing game"
"Ya"
"We are going to tell you where you can step ok"
"ok"
"And we are going to tell you where you can't step or we will penalize you!"
"What, why?"


I also hope they come out with a new mix sometime this year. It would be a nice surprise.


Hey atamax:

What part of Japan do you live in? I am going to go to Japan in a couple months. I would like to be able to meet new friends who play DDR as well.

Actually, it's worse. Your foot can't even be on the arrow when a mine comes up.

1st Mix had an Ouch! judgment you would earn if you stepped where there wasn't a step. FFR has something similar called a Boo.

where i live in taiwan we have a game called "rock fever" (rip off of IIDX)

I think any mix below the 5th it would give you a miss for pressing where there isnt any notes (like helper notes)

I find that really stupid that you are "missing" arrows that aren't there... seriously. So it can vary every time how many misses you have.

Ouch. When I play beatmania, I like to spam random keynotes after the song ends just for fun. But you're talking about a ripoff, which you can't expect to be good.

Hello, thank you for your question at me
I live in a city next to Toyko.
I have many Japanese DDR friends, so I will introduce you them.
And please show us your move, certainly they'd like it.
If you have time, I will show you around Tokyo.

I'd like to talk about your friends in Taiwan.
I have met 5 1 3 at Nakano Sun-Plaza where Top Ranker Competition was held

"Ouch" judgement was a 1st mix thing only.

Very interesting rumour, It doesn't surprise me at all that Konami is already working on a new game. Remember that EVERYTHING from 1st mix to Extreme (+every "Plus", Solo version, and spin-offs like the disney games!) came between 1998-2002, so they have slowed down a lot during the past few years, if anything.

Well, they have been taking A LOT of feedback from players about SN2 and about DDR in general, so I'm sure they're taking their time with this one (if they're really making it) to make it a great game for players. It IS the 10th anniversary after all .

Hopefully, a new AC will be out in Japan by the time I go to Tokyo spring of '09

I think now, each game generates more new songs. Back then, there were a lot of songs that appeared on, like, ten games. It's dissatisfying when games repeat each other.

Same here. I don't have enough "RAM" to read those minessssss. I had enough "RAM" for 4 arrows including Freeze arrow only -.-;

Mines don't really bother me, I just wait until I see something arrow-shaped to step it. It's not hard for me to ignore mines, and I can easily hop to the center if I panic and see a bunch.

Nonetheless, I don't want mines in the next DDR. I would like to see hands, yes, but in moderation, and the pads will have to get better to sense them.

That's why we have e-amuse widely accessible all over the United States.

AFAIK, that's a problem Konami is having with Betson, Konami wants e-amuse in the states.

True. The purpose of mines is to distract you from the real steps, but after not too long, you can filter out whatever isn't shaped like an arrow.

They have used poison arrows, which are like mines, but they look like arrows. I think mines would be better than hands, mainly because of pad sensitivity.

Oh yes, let us not forget that mines would *really* suck on a standard soft mat, where one foot might actually be holding down two arrows without you realizing it.. Mines need to stay out of DDR for that reason especially.

Konami can make Betson do what they want, or else they could drop them and do it themself =/

I'm sick of excuses. If they can't get Betson to do it, then SAY SO.

It's pretty hard to just drop them just like that. Konami should drop them, but what will they do afterward? It would take time and money to have Konami open up their arcade division again and another distributor is probably just going to be like Betson or perhaps worse.


P.S. I'd have to look, but I do believe a Konami rep posted somewhere that Konami had made the decision to go forward with e-amuse, but that Betson refused to along with it.

ok I am pretty sure they have a contract together, so thats pretty much out of the question.

Also e-amuse is coming out in other places, not until the end of the year however.

How do you know that, OMEGA?
