DS/DDR SuperNOVA (Europe)

MagixMan · 07-05-2006, 03:05 PM

So yeah, America has it's own thread. And Asia has it too. So I thought, why not make a European thread of the Konami's new Dancing Stage/Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA.

I heard some good and bad stuff 'bout the new 4-panel dance simulator. For example : Lots of people argued about the synch. on most of the (300+) songs.

I haven't had the chance to give the new machine a test-ride, so I can't tell much about it yet. But for those who had a chance to groove on the new DS/DDRSN, share you experience and feedback.

Let's keep it a good clean thread. Discuss!

What? CHAOS only has a 10-foot Heavy? It can't be played in other modes?

Nevertheless, I so want to test Fascination MaxX Light... just to get used to the 100-200-400 BPM shiftings.

I don't have tested this little wonder yet, however I know there is one located in Paris, in the "La Tête Dans Les Nuages" (Head in the Clouds) arcade station. I'm going there this weekend, I hope I will dance on it if it's not getting overcrowded.

If I ever manage to try it I'll share my experience, I promise!

There is no DDR/DS SuperNOVA in Poland.

Stevenage, Hollywood Bowl hs one. Played it loads, in fact I'm going back there this Sunday. I like all the new and old tracks, but I think it is RE-synched, not off sync. I think Konami did something to the old songs and now they seem offsync, but I don't have a problem with them.

I haven't got ES or OMES yet though

It will be soon 2 months now that my arcade got a SuperNOVA (one of the first shipped in France) so I had the chance to play *many* times there ; it's really a huge improvement for us who where used to the "good old" Euromix 2

Old songs (appearing in white in the songlist) seem a tiny bit offsync sometimes (A, which I often play, surely is) but it's not a total disaster and it's still totally playable.

I can't wait either for konami to release unlock codes or whatever will let us play boss songs in normal play

Other than that, SN is just great, I like it

I played it (and uploaded some of the first ever photos/videos of it, natch) at ATEI back in January. It's got a whole bunch of new songs, which is nice, and basically does right everything that Fusion did wrong.

I've not been 'into' DDR for years now, but still, it's good to see that Konami actually pulled their finger out on this one. Bit of a shame that it doesn't seem to be as widespread as EM2, but that's hardly surprising when that still rakes in stupid amounts from the townie kids who know no better.

too bad Spain just has DSEM,DSEM2 and DSFUSION arcades (DSEM = Dancing Stage Euro Mix) and we just have DSMAX for PS2...a shame 2 KONAMI for just releasing the dancing games,not Beatmania one nor for arcade nor PS2
