*crosses fingers*, "Butterfly, Boom Boom Dollar, and Kick the Can on MAX2!..." *repeats again and again to self*

Seriously, I've been looking everywhere to play those three songs but can never find them at any freakin arcade. All we have here is...Drum roll please....DDR U.S.A.

...how fun
I hope DDR MAX2 or Ultramix has at least one of those

I would like to note, while watching the video, i noticed that Kind Lady Interlude appears to be in MAX 2, along with long train running. Maybe the vid was a rip of the japanese version? Because while the music vid is playing the standard turns yellow.

Oh yeah, they need to add Gamelan Dr Couple for tomosuke goodness.

Here's something nobody has mentioned yet...what about the XBox DDR pads? Anything about those yet?

Some companies do make cheap PS2--->Xbox adaptors, but does anyone know if they work on dance mats (disabled axis mapping or something)?

Edit--> I wonder what Konami (or whatever other dance pad maker) will do about the memory card and headset slots. Wearing a headset while playing DDR might be kind a safety hazard.....

Wow, I like the lists for both games so far, and I'm not getting Ultramix cause I don't have an X-Box. Thankfully, I told my nephew's cousin about the game, and he's going to get it.

Days Go By, I Feel.., A Little Bit of Ecstacy, Twilight Zone, WoW! And that's only the first songs announced. I wonder what other Beatmania and Dancemania tracks are coming next. Please, let there be Create A Oni Mode!

Hm. Mind Parasite, yay. But other than that and the MGS2 remix, not much on the XBox list appeals to me ... certainly not enough to go out and buy an XBox.

As far as the MaxUS2 list ... that looks pretty good so far, though I wish I knew something about those licensed songs.

Oh, and for Remy:

No, you got the Roomaji wrong. Not UltaMix, UrotoraMikusu. :-)

I want an X-Box. Now.

Anyways, so far both lists look good, and it's nice to see Days Go By on the MAX2 list.

Now, I feel like getting a X-Box with DDR Ultamix having licensed tracks, Internet Ranking, Online Play, and maybe being able to download SM files made by others or not in the game. DDR Max 2 USA to me is like a cross-over of DDR EX and SM with Beginner Mode and Endless mode. Now I just wonder with these mixes if they'll have the exact FMV or BG Animations of songs which I think would be cool.

Hello everyone! This is pretty big news!!

I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out at all... if not... then let me be the first!!

I went to the URL: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/puzzle/ddrmax2dancedancer7m/media.html and I downloaded the video there, which has some music video scenes...

What's so special about this? I instantly recognized some of the scenes from "The Whistle Song" by DJ Aligator Project UK music video!!

Need proof? Go here for a low quality version of the music video: http://www.djaligator.dk/video/whistleuk.htm

Remember the screenshots of the girls dancing/clubbing that no one really knew about? Those are from that video as well!

This is huge news for those who want songs like "Sexy Planet" and possible songs by E-ROTIC... I mean, if "The Whistle Song" isn't obviously about sex, then I don't know what the hell is!! Seriously...

Now let's wait for the official word from Konami about "The Whistle Song"!!

Thanks for your time.

Background videos in the Japanese songs rarely mean anything. After all, R&P on MAXUSA used the background for Telephone Operator.

I would wager Konami are using the exercising rabbits for a song *other* than The Whistle Song.

Remy,

I responded to you in the 'Son of Official DDRMAX2 USA Thread'.

Let's continue this there.

Thank you. :)

i think you people are forgetting something - ultramix is already esrb rated for PC, so you won't need to buy an xbox (multi-platformed DDr goodness)
