Idea - DDR Long Mix

BigBlack81 · Trick Member Joined: 05 Jun 2003 Location: New Haven, CT

Ok, here's an idea I've been toying with: I like long songs on DDR, even though I'm not that good at it yet to really appreciate it (4 Step Basic, but improving!). What if Konami made an American only mix of DDR that had nothing but songs over 3 minutes long and under 7? And, because it's American only, what would happen if some non Disco/Trance/House/J-Pop/J-Rock songs got put in? Only 55 songs would make it and 25 of those would be long remixes of DDR favorites?

What songs would you want to make into long remixes for DDR? And what other songs would you like for this mix to have?

Discuss.

My Picks:

DDR Remixes
Burnin' The Floor (Needs a longer mix.)
Kind Lady (Love that groove)
Make Your Move (Good soul songs need length)
B4U

Non DDR Long Songs
The Offspring - No Brakes
The Offspring - All I Want
Queens Of The Stone Age - No One Knows
Slipknot - Wait And Bleed (Imagine that on Heavy! At least 10 steps!)
Mudvayne - Dig
System Of A Down - Innervision
69 Boyz - Daisy Dukes (Gotta love the dirrrrrrty south!

)
Ludacris - Southern Hospitality
Ludacris - Act A Fool
Master P - Make Em' Say Unnnhhh!
Darude - Sandstorm
The Streets - Let's Push Things Forward (That would be great to do doubles on with a bit of freestyling!)

Sandstorm Heavy has a plenty of freezes, not sure why they didn't put it on Extreme though...such a good song...

I would think hip-hop/rap would lend itself best to a dancing game like DDR, so I would say put some Nelly, Big Tymers, maybe even some Missy Eliot on a long mix.

Although there is already a topic for what songs you would have added to DDR, so you may want to go there...this may get locked.

I do really wish they would bring the long versions back since only 5th mix had them. I love Dynamite Rave Long ver.

I am getting tired just thinking of a 3 to 7 minute song.

I like your idea, except for the part you keep emphasising: "American-only." I could argue all day that most modern American artists lack what I call talent, but that'd probably lead to flaming =-|

The Japanese songs give DDR its tasty flavor. I mean, you did list Burnin' The Floor and B4U.... and it turns out these are both Japanese songs. Even if you were to scrap great Japanese artists like Kosaka Riyu, Sana, or DJ Taka, the big thing that makes DDR different from Beatmanai is NAOKI. Even in DDR USA (the crappy American-only mix that already exists) NAOKI created 7/26 songs and 2/26 were remixes of NAOKI's songs by 2MB.

The long version idea is interesting though. However, you'd have to select your mix's song carefully. You'd have bounty hunters going after your head if you were to do something like..... add So Deep (Perfect Sphere Mix) to your game

i wouldn't say that the ONLY good songs in DDR aren't from DDR...there are some good ones, esp. the new songs in 4th+, 5th, 6th, and extreme. But lots of the good songs are from IIDX - i know

and that's not disputable...it's just true.

Gasp? You like TaQ more than Taka? You are exiled from the forums!

Naw... I like a couple of TaQs songs, but others it seems he has the gift to make a 2 minute songs more repetitive than the full version of So Deep =-/

But era does rox indeed.
