It seems like the song wheel is sorted by artist rather that song title. That's odd.
It looks like they handle having 32 people playing at a time pretty well.
Also, it looks like Air by Shiki is confirmed from the gameplay and result screens, specifically the combination of pictures 4 and 7.

FFR4EVA: the default sort is not by artist, it just happened to be on that sort when the screenshots were taken.

also Air by Shiki was confirmed at the announcement of this game ;)

The default sorting is not displayed in the screenshots and it's of course possible to change the sorting of the songwheel.
Shiki's Air was already confirmed to be in the game. Other songs that have been announced to be in the game are:
- Kotiin - G-Powered
- Turhaa - G-Powered
- Not For Sale - Inglow
- Liquify - Toby Emerson
- Summer In Belieze 2007 - Digital Explosion

Anyone have this mp3 of Hardkore Of The North? I'm curious.

Looks...a lot like ITG.

So... what platform does iDance run on, and where will it be available, since the company is in Sweden?

Ko.... Wi.... Su......

Arcade and PC probably. And what's the problem of buying on the internet ? :)

This is gonna be rad.

So much statistical info taking up the screen.

It's like ITG had a one night stand with WoW.

I'm interested in seeing what the arcade version will look like.

I don't think the song list is really going to appeal to health club users. I wonder if there will be a custom song feature.

Late 2009 for AC release? Damn I was hoping to see this way sooner...

Health club members: "Needs more early 90's dance music. GROOVERS IN THE HEART~"

Shit, Almost makes me wish I was back in grammar school. ALMOST.

Honestly, this looks awesome. ITG 4: REINFORCE YOUR FLOORS.

Also: Hey Konami, you missed a spot. :U

Konami will sue again like they did 2 Roxor

Hm maybe possibly... I don't know if they will or not. it all depends on how this game goes I guess... Man 2009? Sheesh... Guess we won't be seeing that for.... a long time....
