DDR Best of Cool Dancers?

DigiMindAxel · 02-07-2008, 05:52 PM

According to arcade-history, it's:

Quote:

A tournament version of DDR that only has 4 songs. The CD has no audio, you need a DDR/DDR 2nd Mix CD to play it.

It was produced on 1999, before 3rdMIX. Somebody knows more info about this game? Or is it a fake?

It sounds like a CD that only adds Dancers to the old games, and 4 songs. It sounds like it's real, although the Title doesn't make too much sense when said

Maybe its like karaoke mix, and sucked so much it never went anywhere.

Looks like it was a mix that was only used for a certain special tournament.

I found this Konami press release about it, and from what I can Rikai-chan out of it that seems to be the case.

Konami used to hold their own private trade shows every year for their arcade releases. Best Of Cool Dancers was used for rankings preceding a huge final tournament at their show in 1999.

that sounds cool. To bad it never got pasty the tournament.

I have a huge feeling i've seen this disc somewhere in the Bemani community before.

So, were these four songs exclusive to that particular CD? Or were they just 3rd mix previews or something?

eddie · 02-12-2008, 10:27 AM

They were just songs from 2nd MIX. I'll dig up the song list.

And the disc isn't something that Konami regulated and locked away. Mame developers have a copy of it and have it running, it's just a matter of getting a copy of the disc itself. It doesn't pop up very often on Y!JA or eBay so it might be kind of difficult, but with a little work I'm sure it can be found.

Oh wow, they had Captain Jack perform at that event. Must have been exciting times over there back then.

I wish somebody could get a vid of the game running in mame... imagine walking into an arcade with BOCD running... in a million years, but a funny thought nonetheless.
