German game rating board reveals DS Universe 2?

I know I don't ever post here, but I do lurk. And through link diving came across something interesting on the German game rating website.

Dancing Stage Universe 2 for the Xbox 360 - April 10th, 2008

Means it should have already come out, or that this is simply the date Konami applied for the rating. But it would seem this confirms another 360 title in the future for Euro gamers. Just letting everyone know in case it's not already common knowledge.

Uni 1 came out over here in September, so I'd think that that was the day Konami applied for the rating.

Then again, we got Universe 2 about 8 months after Universe.

We're getting SN2 16 months after SN1. Therefore anything can happen.

Good find. It's gonna be a while until we get anything though.

I think you're right. This might be why SuperNova 2 got delayed, because the same house is producing both games where as in American KCEJ made SuperNova 2 and KDE made Universe 2. It might also indicate that the September date for SuperNova 2 might also be the date for Universe 2.

I wonder, Europe Konami always make worst DS, not like Japan DDR. Why Konami doesn't want translate menu option for European and let the songlist 100% like Japan DDR? Why Europe Konami always find another horrible licences and that songs absolutely WORST WORST WORST and spent a lot of money to get horrible songs and gived it to us? Home version DS licences ALWAYS have 100% different licences and all of them absolutely WORST KONAMI CHOICE. I don't understand, since DanceMania is compilation songs from European artist and licensed by Toshiba EMI and DanceMania is from Europe, why Europe Konami refuse using any DanceMania licences for home version DS? DanceMania licences is more better than DS licences so far this. DS SuperNOVA 2 is delayed and if Konami still give us WORST licences and not from any previous Japan DDR licences, I'm very very very very disappointed

How can you be so critical of the Konami Original use when US gets the exact same ones? If you're not the key region, you're going to be at a different level. As for the Dancemania licenses, there's nothing you can do about that now, although you are right about yours being inferior.

Because of Regional restrictions, licensing issues in certain countries, Konami's laziness, the demograph in different countries, Konami's laziness, Europe's unfortunate position as the redheaded stepchild of the DDR series, Konami's laziness... You get the pattern.

Also Konami's agreement with Toshiba EMI over the Dancemania albums ended with EXTREME, now songs have to be licensed individually and that changes the face of the game, Konami will generally go for the cheapest licenses in whichever country the game is being released in. In Europe's (And America's) case, that means the slosh you've been hearing all day and night on the radio for the last three months. Or some random disco track.

I've got an idea, keep the thread on topic and if you want to talk about something else look for a thread about the particular subject otherwise make a new thread. Although pure ranting is generally frowned upon.
