DDR SuperNOVA 2 AC Mk. II (US AC out now; e-Amuse!)

Lol, I think the staff at our arcade puts it in when I comes out because I got there right when it opened on the day of the 2nd unlock code and it was already on there.

Huh? Aren't you thinking of 5th mix?
I haven't played SN2AC, but that would be really weird.

It would say it perfectly fine to me, and yep it works like a charm......except when I accidentally clicked the enter button twice casuing me to pick a songs I never played before on Expert. -.- Sightreading......*sigh*

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, but I finally got to play SN2 AC for the first time, and I noticed something interesting about Trust. The video in the AC version did not feature the same "censoring" job that the CS BG video did. Right there, on the arcade cabinet screen, were all the Yoko boobs, ferret and all. I wonder why they would edit it for the home market but not for the machine that's out in public view, especially when Trust is one of the attract songs.

I'm not sure, but I think the rating system used by CERO for CS games tends to be judged stricter than they are for AC games. You can also see comparisons with Last Message and Sense 2007 in Gold AC and Gold CS. Do they even rate AC games in Japan?

Oh well, as long as I still get to see Kamina, I don't really care about seeing a small animal popping out of Yoko's ridiculously huge boobs.

Wow, a sort menu... now I feel silly for forgetting something as cool as that. All we need now is for them to bring back step codes.

Oh and Kiri, you should get to know all of the songs' Expert charts. There are a lot of fun ones!

It is kind if hard when you have a sister who is currently "borrowing" 2 of your 4 DDR games in which you already know most of the stepcharts on those two already. I need to experiment more with the ones she has. She fricken hasn't given them back yet and she's being a total idiot about it.

Kiri_no_Haku: Try looking up charts on YouTube or downloading Stepmania. Obviously, you will have a hard time actually practicing with your feet, but you'll be less surprised when you play them at the AC.


Off-topic a bit, but according to one Japanese poster on Z-i-V and rumors on 2ch, Konami has been visiting arcades to promote a new DDR game.

There has been a rumor that KONAMI staff visited some arcades
to sell New DDR.

According to my friend and some posts from 2ch(Japanese Famous BBS),
it's goning to be New Cabinet and will come out this winter.

Sadly, they are not supposed to have upgrading kit.

I don't have information any more.
It might be no more than just a rumor

Certainly will be interesting to see. If this is true, I'm guessing that new hardware is the reason for no upgrades.

If it's PS3 based...then that'll really set the stage.

I believe I've already have about 500 songs on my stepmania and I watch a lot of stepcahrts on youtube, but it is better for me to practice at homje or at the arcade. I don't like using the keyboard for that.

Ashura96:

If it if ps3 based, I hope to see another jump in graphics from Supernova series. It also might make an XBox-like downloader for adding new DDR songs to the game? That would be awesome.

PS3-based DDR AC just seems kinda silly to me. Too expensive when they could just use BemaniPC instead.

We'll have to wait-and-see.

It did work for Tekken 6 and loading times were pretty fast considering its high-res textures.

Although, if it will be PS3-based, will it have to be a widescreen TV unit that would come with it?

Or they could just use BemaniPC which is already a solid platform in itself.

Well if it's brand new only cab, then I hope the durability will also improve as this dancing game can be a nightmare to maintain (unlike BM IIDX wherein after 5 years, it still works and keys do not need maintaining or replacing )

[Darien Electrified]

I somehow doubt that they're going to put a DDR game (or any Bemani game for that matter) on the PS3 anytime soon.

[Kiri_No_Haku]

That might not until the ps2 becomes obselete. That, I know, will not happen for a while because there still are games being made for that generation. Actually, ps2 is probably the only generation which games are still being made for it because the others already changed to Wii and 360 and Sony expects it to take a while before people let go of their ps2s when a ps3 is the most expensive console out now and the current 40gb ps3 does not support backwards compatibility. I bet once they get that firmware update, then everyone will start to buy more ps3s and then the ps2 will be obselete.
