GamesAreFun.com is reporting that Konami will be featuring Dance Dance Revolution at the Consumer Electronics Show next week from January 6 - 9. Konami is sponsoring the Cardio PlayZone booth to show attendees how exercise can be both productive and fun when games like DDR are involved. If you'll be at CES this year, you can check it out in the Innovations Plus exhibit area.

Im wondering if it will be showcasing a new DDR!!!

if it is... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE A NEW PS2 VERSION! i just was disapointed in exetreme... but if this was a perfect world a new arcade mix would make me have a heart attack but we all know they shut down there amarican arcade division... but this is still kool, mabie some more interest will sprout up in the states.

If you go to the website the news is from, you'll note that there WON'T be a new version of the game. They'll simply be showcasing DDR Extreme as a way to lose weight.

thats all cool...but it sickens me to find that people advertise ddr as a "fun way to loose weight" its for fun...period....skrew the fat people that do it so they can loose weight! And if u loose some weight while u play, great, but what sickens me is that all they advertise ddr is excersise only....ggrrr....

I want to go and play some DDR there... I can probably show off and burn like 4 calories since I've been so lazy lately =( ! Hopefully little kids aren't around to step on the pad while you are playing because that is just too annoying!

Since we're on the topic of Konami closing their US Arcade division, has anybody REALLY thought about the larger implications?

NO GRADIUS!!!!

I think we should all be more concered with the fact that there's a new arcade release in Europe to demonstrate supposedly NEW HARDWARE for DDR: http://www.ddruk.com/postview.php?post=172095

To CartoonHero29:

"Skrew the fat people who play DDR to lose weight"?

I'll admit, I'm a little overweight, but DDR has lost me a lot of weight. And I don't just play DDR to lose weight. That's one of the stupidest, most inconsiderate remarks I have EVER heard. I'm not going to make any assumptions about your skill level, but I consider myself pretty good at the game, because I play it a lot, and I play it for FUN. Again, the fact that you think overweight people play DDR only to lose weight is sickening, as is your remark.

Stop feeding the troll, guys.

I don't think I loss a tremendous amount of weight...but then i noticed DDR has boosted up my energy compared to not playing it. Before it used to take me 9-10 minutes to run a mile, now it takes me only 6-7 minutes!

<<<< Joke??? >>>>> Workout mode...please WTF is that? do u lift weights or something... Diet Mode sounds wayyyyyyyy better because you just have to starve yourself and become an anorexic rather than straining your muscles with agonizing pain on a workout!

PS: I know what workout mode and diet mode are so don't be telling anyone in order posts after this that Diet mode is blah blah blah...
