Although not an exact date, but Fall 2006 is close enough. It reports of a "Link feature" being able to connect to the arcade machines, a steller master mode and of course, online play. The Japanese version has yet to be released and Xepher, a fan favorite, will be added to the mix as well as Innocence of Silence by popular demand from the crowds at E3 this past year. Much thanks to Juli for the link!

Edit 1: # Online Service for DDR Extreme 2 will be ending.

"We regret to inform you that our online service for DDR Extreme 2 will be ending on September 12, 2006. The servers will permanently be taken down at this time, and users will not be able to connect to the DDR Extreme 2 online service after this date. We thank you very much for your continued support and understanding.

However, our new game Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova will feature Online play!

If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Konami Customer Support at: support@konami.com." Thanks to TyTyger for the info as well as DDRUK as his source.

It's a violin rhythm game. Plug and play and operates from a battery or power supply. With a playable 4 songs, we're not sure if there's difficulty changes.

Ha Ha! I am the first to notice! I'm so excited!

So wait all of the new songs might not be on SuperNova US? It kind of sounds that way based on the website.

[ANGRY ABOUT ENGLISH]

Hey, nice. I suppose it's about time to reserve this, then, if I want my V-Ra... er, "Limited Music Sampler" disc.

[DJ Tenku]

=O

yay Innocence of Silence. It would be awesome if there's a long version on the Bonus disc. That song is beautiful.

Please edit this thread to note that the ITG division of OSC5 is out...

Not many people have noted it, and it never got a frontpage announce!!

[Zanneth]

I didn't expect so much Engrish on that site. But hey, new DDR mix for home!

It probably would've been reported to us then if that was the case..

[TheHakku]

lol... Stellar Joint POPCORN. :o

[~Squall~]

Finally a chance to play Star Gate Heaven at home (and actually play it, since I've yet to play on a SuperNOVA). Plus it's a new DDR game, so yay.

[ColorOfSakura]

...why wouldn't Innocence of Silence and Xepher be included on the home version...? I really don't understand that, but whatever.

Are they not going to put all the crossovers on the game? :/ Meh.

I didn't know that it wasn't known to the public already though... You can forgive us, right?

Edit:\\ Colour of Sakura: UnknownGamer and I were thinking the EXACT SAME THINGS when we saw the topic of those two songs. Very much an eye-roll moment.

[dj DNEM]

My guess is SuperNova CS will be released around September 12, 2006. I think my psychic abilities are starting to kick in.

The site for the Japanese PS2 version of Supernova is up.

It's just a placeholder page for now with no info on it.
