...I HATE the NOTESKINS! Konami better give us the option to switch back to the original.... and whed does this game suppose to come out?

[westside619]

Reminds me of Lips for the 360. Too bad that ain't much of a good thing.

[DCstar]

They have to get rid of that creepy/gay dancing letters intro.

[DaDude1992]

i am so disapointed. the look of it doesnt lok anything remotely like DDR should. their changing this way to much... im sorry i will still play it but dmn, this is a shame

[Zemata]

its only an optional mode, there's still 4 panel DDR as a main focus

[deathbypenguins]

Octo mat looks interesting...can't wait for it!! :D

[Morpheus4751]

I'm sticking with the 4-arrow kind of DDR. 8-arrows might be pretty confusing & difficult for me. Speaking of arrows, those noteskins aren't the type I like. I prefer the classic ones if you know what I mean.

[47FeAr74]

mm i agree with both.

prefer 4 arrows and original noteskins.

but doesn't mean i won't give 8 a try :)

[Morpheus4751]

Though I guess I should give DDR 2009 a try. : )

DoublePlayもできるかな？？

I'd rather have the game in HD. The Wii online store is structured kind of odd I think, I know it is for Rock Band DLC. Who knows, the DLC content might include licenses too with music videos. I don't know if the Wii would have enough extra storage space for something like that.

Right now I'm considering the PS3/360 versions, I might pick up the Wii one for the hands/balance board mode. I could see the PS3 version implementing hands once the PS3 motion controllers are out though.

[DDRManiac999]

i don't understand why they didn't put dlc on the wii. is it because of the wii store is setup?

[darknight068]

Can't be, because pop n' music on Wii will have DLC. I think the big reason just boils down to the idea that if it's a classic song, it would have to get completely re-charted for hands which I could imagine would upset feet only players. (though in this case, ain't that what the PS2 version is for...) Keep in mind that when Dynamite Rave went over, it got a completely new chart.

[darknight068]

Well if you want a more possibly sinister reason, I'll give you that too. The Wii game having DLC would nullify a large part of the reason for most people to want the 360/PS3 game. I can guarantee you that the majority of people content with what HP1 and 2 offer are probably not going to care about octo mode and the presentation (or lack thereof IMO) enough to warrant the extra bucks for it. In Konami's mind, leaving DLC out of the Wii game gives the other two a stronger case for existence.

[piepiepie75YT]

Not only that, but they would also have to structure a specific dance routine with stage effects for every one of those DLC songs too.
