I have one good idea on why these were even made: Remember, they were for JAPAN, not the US... portable gaming is almost mandatory over there (look at the way Pokemon works, let alone any other portable game series of the past decade). These games feature the same step charts as the AC versions, so, their basic purpose was probably as a "study aid" for charts... play this crap enough in your spare time out and about to have charts memorized, then go to the AC machine and have more fun.
If you ever try out the last DDR GB, Oha Sta, to get the unlocks you have to get Draw Points from winning Versus matches. (I used the emulator TGB Dual for this, though I haven't been successful at making a Game Genie code for max DP yet). You use the DP to draw cards, which you can also trade via linking, and getting all 5 of a suit nets you an unlock. One of the unlocks is Maniac difficulty, and another is a password feature that lets you get a Why! remix otherwise only playable in Versus.
@seinormexicano Good job at being a complete douche bag and not understanding the basic concept of a "review". Being an ass - this revolutionary concept has never been done before.
@Dracozon I'd rather be a douche than a moron who bags on 10 year old games. I understand the basic concept of a review, what gave you the idea that I didn't?
Why not showcase good games, and show people some games that they can enjoy? There; less asshole, more constructive criticism.
@seinormexicano Why review games that have been reviewed over a million times by everyone else? "Good" game reviews basically boil down to "good game,go buy it." while a bad game review "bad game,avoid it". I try not to follow that shtick,while yes I do tend to review some 'bad' game,I tend to look at the lesser known side of gaming,obscure titles and what not. If you bothered to look at all my reviews except basing you opinion on just this one,you probably would have saw that.
@Dracozon Reviews don't have to boil down to "It's good, buy it", you could point out why it is good.
"Obscure" is relative. I have at least heard of, if not played, every game that you have reviewed. I am but one opinion in the world so you don't have to change anything you are doing. I'll leave you alone now ;)
The dance pad you talked about on the title screen was for the pad that came bundled with the game. It had little plastic arrows and clipped on to the front of the GBC. Using this could be turned on or off on the title screen.
1) If I wanted to listen to music back then, I'd get a CD player.
2) If I wanted to play Dancing Stage (English game name), Why would I hook up a dance mat to the PS1 or go down the arcade, when I can mash buttons on my MUCH less capable portable system(?!)
3) If these games were made when GBA was on the horizon, why not wait for those to come out and give 16-bit sound, at LEAST?
Cmon, u cant rip on Vol.4!

Good job at reviewing a ten year old game and complaining about it. This revolutionary concept has never been done before.

It seems Konami just wanted everybody to dance to 8-bit tunes. btw Draco didn't you did a review of these games back on your old channel?

Well couldn't they do it on the NES then? It would have been a whole lot better. :3
And yeah I did! Surprised you remember! xD

For shame, Konami. For shame...

(1) Agreed. :3
(2) Because actually dancing to "Dance Dance Revolution" is stupid and mashing a tiny D-pad and two buttons is awesome! >:D
(3) Because they're lazy bastards and wanted to cash in on a fad as soon as possible. 16 bit sound? Pfff..retro 8 bit is where it's at! =D
