I may be the only one to not know the answer to this, but...

What are these "Marvelous!!" steps as depicted in the screenshots on the Konami website? Are they better or worse than perfects? Are they only available in certain gameplay modes?...

Hip hip hooray! I won't have to import JP DDREXTREME afterall, unless the song selection for US EXTREME isn't as good as JP's song list. I they put in a bunch of songs that weren't in US versions like Captain Jack (Grandale Mix), FlashDance, Boom Boom Dollar (K.O.G. G3 Mix), WWW.BlondieGirl, and songs that were never in a US release. I'd really like to see other Bemani game songs that were in JP EXTREME (Across The Nightmare, 321 Stars, Daikenkai). I almost fainted when I saw this headline on the main page. One thing that'd make me happy is atleast one Jenny Rom song. It'd be a real treat is they had one of their music videos (They're an Italian band just in case you didn't know).

i for on dont give a crap about half of these new features, the main thing i want is the online capability to play against others for this game. i know its already on xbox, but it would be cool for ps2 also.

Aww.... I wanted Max 3.......

A Stupid Barber, CSFILSM, Moba Moga, and (finally!) Sweet Sweet Love Magic. Talk about starting off good. Mission Mode sounds good also.....

I am not looking forward to this too much.

CSFIL Speed Mix and Sweet Sweet Love Magic could/should have been in Max 2 U.S in my opinion. Especially CSFIL Speed Mix.

After all the anticipation I had with Max2 US, I am not sure. The default songlist was great, with the large amount of licensed songs used and good Konami originals. But most of the unlockable songs were very disapointing to me. They were mostly repeats. And not very good repeats either. Who really cared about Don't Stop? The unlockable songs are supposed to be mostly more interesing than the default songs, like all the other ddr games. At least the non-stop courses were well done.

So now, I am going to assume that almost half of the songlist of DDR Extreme U.S. is repeats, even though the arcade version introduced over 50 Konami originals. I get the feeling Konami is not going to use most of those songs just for some reason, be it with Japanese lyrics or it doesn't sound American.

I really can't imagine what they are going to do with this game. Are they going to use nearly everything that is left in Konami orignals that haven't been used yet from the arcade version? Or will we see a bunch of repeats for no reason, like Max2's unlockables? And I'll take a wild guess that all the rest of the oni remixed songs will make it here, including the original versions of those songs, which will be repeats, and they would just take up space that could be used for other songs.

I am not asking for an arcade port of ddrextreme, I am asking for a good variety/amount of songs that ddr players haven't seen before in American home versions.

I'm so excited that there will be a US release of DDR Extreme!

I'm also happy that my favorite song, A Stupid Barber, is quoted to be on there from this thread!

I also have some news. Could this 'Mission' mode they're talking about be that crazy extra mode on a Japanese 4th Mix (Home Version)? I remember on my 4th mix playing some missions, and sometimes it'd fail me because I didn't follow the "objections". I think they are just bringing that to the US mainstream. It's relatively old, as is for being released on the original 4th mix in Japan's home versions. I have it too and it IS good stuff.

Heres some pretty obvious information you can figure out from the info thats already available...

100+ minutes is only gonna equal 65-75 songs (same as max and max2...keeping consistent)

max and max2 didnt even remotely resemble the japanese versions of max and max2, so dont expect extreme to have all the other non-ddr bemani songs.

thats fine with me, since as great as 105 songs are on jp extreme, a lot of them are not worth playing. you should expect usa extreme to include a few of the jp extreme songs, and a lot of max/max2 type music videos and songs. it will be a really good mix.

Incase any1 didnt notice, all the songs on karaoke revolution (kkr?) r remakes, and all of the us home versions r kinda dissapointments,
and when i first saw the whole mission mode thing, i thought it wuz confriming my worst fears

DDR WITH A STORYLINE

that would really make it stupid

i personlly cant wait. AND I LIKED THE SONG LIST IN MAX2USA!!(gurr)

I got ONE problem.

If they can get Be For U, King Kong and the D. Jungle Girls, Caption Jack(he was from florida, though, wasn't he?) and Togo Project Feat. Sana (me thinks) and peoplez like that to sell rights to the US, why cant we get Jenny Rom, and Rose and John to sell to us?

I mean, I would DIE if we got Waka Laka and/or Living in America.

I also would like 1,2,3,4,007,Hero(the fast mix one), and (gasp) 7 JUMP (I likeed that one.....)

Living in America would make a lot more sence in a US mix that a JP one. JP people aren't in america. they are in japan!

(DDR will never die........)

Parathenseies (sp?) ROCK (yes they do) (

)
