DDR in Japan

[BeForU~Dude2~]

So did everyone here about ddr in Japan? My friend told me recently that KOA(or something like that) that ddr in japan is finally dead. He told me that they stopped makeing arcade ddr mixes and that extreme was the last mix(as if some of you allready knew) and he also told me that they stop making japanese console versions. So the only known mixes left are probably US extreme and Ultramix. Sad, isn't it?

8th already isn't the last mix... Euromix 2 just came out didn't it?

Sad but true.

Throughout the last week of October, I had a Japanese exchange student living with me. My boyfriend, brother, and I took her around with us when we'd play DDR and what not...

"Nobody plays it there (Japan) anymore."

Looks like it's old news to them.

Since this is about DDR in Japan...I want to know something..

I saw this on one of the King of the Hill episodes.


In Japan, they were playing a DDR machine, but there playing was also being projected onto a big screen (like those in new york) where people walking around could watch someone play.

Do they actually have that kind of DDR play there?

i specifically said "DDR is dead in japan" i did not say it was dead here in the US. we still got ultramix and US Extreme left and im not sure about europe.

well if they stop DDR in japan thats ok. but i think they will notice we only got 4 mixes here i mean we need at least 1 or 2 more maybe a us only mix like DDR: Haha it came out in america not japan! or DDR:HICOIANJ! haha to long of a name anyways bottom line


DDR stops+ ddr fans= the world stops spinning and riots are everywhere

Well, Ultramix is a new mix isn't it? And that's an American mix too, hopefully that series will continue for a while.

I saw the title of this thread and thought, "OMG! They have DDR in Japan? KEWLZORRZ!"

Kidding.

It's dead. Plain and simple. But it is still alive over here, and when haven't we known a large, popular faceless company to milk a fad to it's dying breath? Look at poor Pokemon. It brings great sadness to me to see that they're still bringing out set after set, even when most everyone has moved on... even I'm still waiting for the triumphant return of the Pocket Monsters, but the future looks bleak, and money will not be needlessly wasted on a futile effort.

:going off on a tangent:

My point: If they know effective marketing, they know that it's still a big thing in America. If they are going to make another mix, they will. They just have to see the profit in it like any company.

I say stop posting all these stupid rumors and wait it out and see what happens.

Im just getting tired of the same posts all the time about "there is going to be a 9th mix" or "DDR is dead and no new mixes will ever come out"

Just wait Something big will happen and youll see it all over. but until then, just wait.
