Any DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2s you find in North America, can I ask that members post the location, version number and e-AMUSE status in this thread: DDR SuperNOVA2 (AC) (North America). You can find the version number on the top left of the title screen and the e-AMUSE status at the bottom centre of the screen. Any unlocks that appear one way or another should be posted immediately.

Go To Last Week >>

Looks like you all are getting Dancing Stage SuperNOVA2 after all.

---

Ah Theres the link to this thread. Keep looking for one each time theres a news LOL-

This one looks better than the JP and US ver.
Bigger the better... talking about their heads not their breast if you think I'm thinking that.>_<

You guys are lucky though... the game is cheaper there... I wish they made this for PS3 so I can play it. Wait, I still need a PAL tv. grrrrrrrrrr

I never get to play this game on my Wii.

1. My sister wont give it back to me . I bought it and she wanted to borrow it.
2. Said I play too much(only when I go to her place)
3. I dont have the game. I was going to buy it on the first day it was released and when I bought the Wii.

How is this cheaper than the US?

You guys can get it for $70, we have to shell out the equivalent of $100 for the HP+Pad combo.

And Pandemonium X, we knew we were gonna get the CS version of SuperNOVA2 ages ago, just not the AC version...

It's not like Europe is missing much anyway by getting the SN2 CS version only...

What makes it so dang expensive, anyway? The only game I'd pay $60+ for is Super Smash Bros Brawl, and then there's HOTTEST PARTY + mat, for $100? At that rate, the pad should at least be foam or metal!

---

Well it;s nice that we finally get some more info on both games.
I'm thinking about getting HP, but I will have to get the classic controller first, since I don't usually play CS games with an actual mat.

---

Oh I was talking about the game by itself. I think it's 60.00 the game itself and 10.00 more for the bundle.

Exactly what Al2k4 said. Still about $30 less than we have to pay.

---

So basically the game is £30 (~$60) and the mat is £20 (~$40); which is what they cost in the US. Shame we don't get any sort of discount buying the bundle...

I guess the worst thing about the game coming out in March/April is that I'll actually have to buy this one with my own money, instead of getting it as a Christmas present. Damn.

True. But at what price.

---

Huh? I listed all the prices on the first post.

Those are interesting bundles, I'd quite like the SN2 Mug, I think
I don't really need a placement and/or forks/spoons.

---

I’ve been hearing that GFV5 & DMV5 Rock to Infinity is only a rumor.

---

Even though an arcade site posted saying they're expecting to receive it in June? Hardly a rumour, the news is on four or more Japanese sites now.

BemaniStyle has it posted as a "Rumored" news item, so that's probably where he got it from.
