[RUMOR] DanceDanceRevolution: Volume 1?

[Pie-kun]

Some rumors have popped up about the Dance Dance Revolution title to be featured at E3. Apparently Konami will be offering a "Best Of" game, to be released on the Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox360, and Wii gaming systems. Very little information is known thus far, but I will quote from the rumor mill:

Konami's long-standing Bemani music dancing series, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), will make its appearance once again on current and next-gen platforms later this year.

Dance Dance Revolution: Volume #1 will be a sort of "best-of" compilation, containing the popular dance tracks you burnt your grooves to on previous editions in the DDR franchise. This installment stands out since it will be the first time a DDR game will officially be on the PlayStation 3 sytem.

Dance Dance Revolution: Volume #1 is due in early November (along with the recently announced Karaoke Revolution. Pricing is TBA and may contain the requisite dance pad. More details from E3 of course.

The timing of this game may make some sense. The Arcade editions of Dance Dance Revolution X have still not been released in America and the UK, and the Japanese Arcade edition will not be finished unlocking for several more months, leaving a big gap for any new Dance Dance Revolution game to be released in the US, at least on the PS2 front.

It's title "Volume #1" also seems to imply that this will not be the first of these 'best-of' games to be featured. In any event, it is all rumors at the moment, and only time will tell if this bans out to be true.

I wonder when they say all old songs if its all songs that we have gotten personally? Or if we could get things we havent seen, like Paranoia Respect and Max Period? And Jupiter?

[Only One Jops]

It would be nice if this game will have the licenses from DDR 3rd, 4th, and 6thmix.

EDIT: Bring back HYPNOTIC CRISIS and MAKE A JAM!

Hmm, so perhaps it's a current-gen (& PS2) Konamix? Sure, that sounds neats. Guess we'll have to wait until E3.

I wonder if we can get some of those missing BeForU songs we didn't see on the PS2 versions...

I also wonder if we'll be getting DDR X 1.5 as well.

[Spork!]

It'd be cool if they allowed the players some input, like Activision's doing with Guitar Hero: Best Hits.

If so, They better include some friggin Cafe.

[_____Cait]

Well guys, let's start a wishlist.

Himawari
TEARS

That's it, they could put whatever else on there and I'd be happy.

I don't see how they could have all that much worth playing in a Best Of. Didn't they lose a large amount of their licenses?

[baseSon]

please use the oldschool interface with no Marvelous timing in normal play.
And get an announcer choice option!!

Anyway regardless im excited about this new DDR i hope the rumours are true.

And if it does come out for the PS3 there is a lot of potential, like downloadable content, a HUGE song list (but ofcourse konami will like use a 1/10 of the blu-ray disc), HD with no lag...woa im getting stoked.

Fixed

[_____Cait]

Yeah, DDR lost a bunch of songs... Like, a lot of "popular" songs too, like Love Shine, Honey Punch, Look to the Sky....

[Light Yagami]

I also hope to see again some of the removals from DDRX (e.g. Look to the sky and/or at least 2 BeForU songs).

P.S.: I want HOUSE NATION, too.
