Little-known DDR facts

[stickyfeetzero]

I thought this would be a fun thread, and I don't think there is another one about it...

So anyway....

DDR Extreme AC- Graduation was the "finale" song for DDR, when Extreme AC was going to be the final mix.

DDR Supernova AC- Apparently there was only one song taken out of the US version, because it had anti-American lyrics.
EDIT/ Someone clear this one up?

DDR Supernova 2- Yuni has a IIDX shirt.

Some of these might be more of an urban legend, so maybe we can clear them up for eachother.

Um...What? The only song America didn't get AFAIK was Beautiful Life, and that was because it was a Japan e-amuse exclusive.

That's why I say some of these could be cleared up. I'll go look at the source where I found this...

-not many people know there is a DDR game for Nintendo 64.
-many people think EXTREME is 8th mix, but it is just EXTREME.
-One version of DDR hooked up to a beatmania IIDX machine, after that release, you could no longer do that.
-many people think DDR SOLO is one player, but it is indeed 8 player compatible with 7 other SOLO machines.
-most arcades in the U.S. have bootleg DDR EXTREME upgrade kits, many players will never play on a official DDR EXTREME machine if the payer lives in the U.S. Or any other country outside of Japan.
-konami refers to the number "573" many times in their games, when it comes to weight for e-amuse, or your combo at a end of a song (thats is, if you can full combo it!).
-There were songs at location tests that never made it to the game, or got modified for the final release.
-DDR SuperNOVA had sync problems, and a update disc was given out to arcade owners to put on their machine. This also added one new song to the game, as well as adding Flow -true style- to the game, which really had a BPM change in the song.

thats all I can think of right now.

Ok, I can't find that banned song thing..... Maybe it wasn't true? Maybe I imagined it? But I'll keep it up there just in case I may not be crazy.... o_o

Interesting... The Beatmania linking was 2nd mix linked version, correct? Also, the update added FELM into SN

There's another thread like this,you know?

And to be specific,Yuni wears a shirt with a Tran logo.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned MEMORIES being in DDR Extreme CS. How it was rumored for ever and of all people Burger King had an unlock code for the song.

About the whole "US SN didn't get a song for anti-American" thing, I recall iFUTURELIST WAS going to have its video (I think it had it during test locations, but I don't know), but it got removed. I don't know if this is true, but I've heard rumors.

Considering the video was in STR!KE, it is a possibility that it was going to be in SN. However, I can see how it could be easily linked to Hitler, and therefore why it didn't appear.

I played it at the Location Test in Irvine, California, and it most definitely was not present.

- A huge chunk of Extra Mix's unlockables were devoted to BeForU propaganda eh I mean promotion.
- U1's remix of AM-3P is the "other" credits sequence to DDR Extra Mix.
- A video showing an early (and ugly) photoshoot for BeForU with the song DIVE plays on the normal credits sequence to DDR Extra Mix.
- Part of DDR Festival uses Ultramix's system music.
- Extra Mix's background animation for TOGETHER FOREVER (CAPTAIN JACK) contain needles which some retarded youth group in San Diego screamed foul 8 years ago when they saw "offensive" images on a DDR Solo game, fucktards.
- You can't hear NIGHT IN MOTION in any DanceMania CD. You can hear it on 4th Mix's OST but that particular version is not on any DanceMania CD. There is a rap remix though in one of the techno albums.
- The beatmania/IIDX transplants from DDRMAX US have the wrong CD labels when they appeared on 7th Mix CS (i.e. THE SHINING POLARIS has the Konami Original label when it should be the beatmania IIDX label).
- Diamonds (J-POP, DDR FESTIVAL) is also in the Gitadora games.

IIRC 1st Mix's location test had a song named "Money" which was removed, and which was said to sound quite similar to Make it Better.

And Sakura was the OMES for DDR Extreme's location test.

Location test stuff is the most interesting IMO.
