Partial MAX2USA Songlist Revealed

[Echelon]

I have very mixed feelings about this list. I'm glad to see songs that weren't on MAXUS that should have been but I'm very disappointed to see so many songs that were in MAXUS. I don't want to see any of them actually. There's no need.

On the bright side, the song list didn't turned out like "Dancing Stage: Megamix" had. I mean "Megamix" only had like 25 songs. The list on "MAX 2 US" so far has about 27 new to the US mix songs. And those are just the already been unlocked ones.

I'm still not sure if the Oni remixes will be the hidden songs, since I'm not sure Oni mode will be in this one. Maybe the Oni remixes will just be normal unlocks where you have to get like a certain amount of points to unlock something instead of beating that song on an Oni course. And maybe the Oni remixes will have Light and Standard steps.

I hope Freckles and Higher -next morning mix- both are going to be on it as well.

"Ghosts (Vincent De Moor Remix) - Tenth Planet
So Deep (Perfect Sphere Remix) - Silvertear"

IMO those should have been on MAX US, but now i am forced to buy max2 @_@ i need ghosts and so deep. i just hope they dont drop "there youll be"

It drives me nuts when I hear "Not enough old songs but yet also not enough old songs."

First, when songs like The Shining Polaris or especially Era ( nostalmix ) appear in two or three consecutive DDR games its because those repeated songs are fan favorites. For example, Era is just so good that Konami doesn't want anyone who owns Max but not Konamix to miss it. Etc. Its not like repeats waste disk space either. None of the PS1 games fill a CD and no Bemani game will ever fill a DVD. MAX1 could've easily been 70 songs without Matsuri Japan on the default songlist.

So after doing the math ( 14 repeats ) and guessing that we'll have just over 50 new songs total in this game, who can complain? We already have almost all of the Japanese 4th and 6th mixes now with a just a few more songs from 5th left to go. So its not as if we're missing out on the old arcade songs either.

This list does have a strange shortage of BeForU, Taka, and TaQ but I haven't seen the unlock list yet. Its very odd that both Candy ( vocal ) and Ever Snow aren't in the default list but I'll have to wait and see what happens with them for now. I guess they could end up on Ultramix instead. But even if those artists don't make it onto MAX2 I'm looking fowards to So Deep, Breakdown, The Shining Polaris, Heaven, MaxX Unlimited ( you know its in there ), and the rest so I know I won't be dissapointed.

This is unconfirmed, but interesting.

The songs that will have their respective music videos playing in the background are:

Conga Feeling - Vivian
Days Go By - Dirty Vegas
Dream a Dream - Captain Jack
In the Navy '99 (XXL Disaster Remix) - Captain Jack
Love at First Sight - Kylie Minogue
Take Me Away (Into the Night) (radio vocal) - 4 Strings
The Whistle Song (Blow My Whistle Baby) - DJ Aligator Project

I'm VERY happy with this list. I can only speak for myself, but to me it's no big deal that they leave out so many songs off of jp MAX and MAX2. Thats what I got a mod chip for. It's nice to have all the new and licensed songs (lots of good ones here). I can definately tell it's a "USA mix" too. The song list is so different than what would be in a jp version. If they were to put 2 extreme preview songs in, id hope they are Senorita (speedy mix) and Cartoon Heroes. But I don't think it'll happen. We'll get Paranoia Survivor I'm sure and maybe CRASH, like in the jp version of MAX2. As for the older songs in this mix, I'm happy that they chose a few (Dream a Dream, Conga Feeling) that I never ever get to play. I can't wait to get it.

This mix looks pretty cool. Phil you can finnaly make that LAFS edit. Not to stir up controversy or anything, but why is it that people complain about old songs being brought back but when a new mix is coming out people always say "I hope they bring back x song"?

[BlackCloud]

::screams:: YAY! Great songs. I wanted Kylie Minogue. I wanted Heaven, too. Max2 is gonna be amazing. I hope that Love at First Sight has the music video, it's gonna be GREAT. I LOVE Captain Jack, Dream A Dream and In The Navy are great (possible Captain Jack on DDRextreme US???). I wanted Ghosts in this version, the DDR gods have answered my prayers! I would buy this game and love it to death even just with the songs listed already, i can't wait to see the whole song list. Remember, we're getting DDR extreme at one point, so the songs on there will be here later.

normally when a ddr game comes out (for any system i own a japps2) i buy it the day it comes out. so i have maxus and jap. and max2jap. and i was telling my crew than i might not even buy max2us because i would already own most of the songs on there. and i told them the only way id buy it is if one song was on there. one song ive been dying to play. and its there. its like KoA read my mind. its like jason enos and the rest of konami were spying on my and found out what i wanted. its like they were like "man lone wolf said he wont buy this mix unless this song is there. we NEED him to buy it" and its there. i dont think i have to type it. just look at my sig and youll know.

I'm glad to see how many new songs are on the list (and by new I mean never on a US mix) but I have to agree with those that said there's too many recycled songs. The other mixes are still out there and quite easy to find, there's no need to keep repeating them, even if they are fan favorites. Another worry I have is that MAXUS was incredibly easy, save for a few songs. I remember seeing other people complain about the difficulty level that game, and I hope it's not an issue in this one either.

90 songs?! It's cool that we got 2 captain jack songs, and ghosts, so deep, drifting away, and tsugaru. Plus if they do it right, I think either Heaven or Busy Child will be a cata. I don't see how they can't put Oni mode in, they put so many oni's in JP max 2, so they must think they are a popular feature. Nonstop is cool though.

I'm Pretty Angry that in every US mix of DDR they seem to cut out some of the better songs like butterfly.

If the game does in fact include 90 songs, then for the 65 initial songs, they may be including ONIs and the EXTRA stage songs. The initial song list is 40 songs, there are no doubt going to be 2 extra stages (MaXx Unlimited, Kakumei). There are 19 normal MAX2 ONIs, and 3 new ones were introduced in MAX2JPN (LttS Trance, KL Interlude, DiR80's). Adding those into the initial songlist, you'd get 64 songs. I'm hoping that I am right, cus I don't want the ONI songs taking up the secret songlist.
