Okay konami's site says over 100 minutes... but if you re-read the ign.com article... it says over 200 minutes of orignal and licensed music...

Things to make it purrrfect:
Online capabilities
atleast attemption of getting older songs like boom boom dollar and such..
some of the "good" songs for extreme like 321 stars or butterfly
rounds (3 songs a game, ultramix didn't have it...)
a "good" mission mode where you don't have to for the people who don't want the missions but yet the story can unlock some for the people who would like too
and last but not least

commercials

DDR Extreme essentially adds more musical selections and gameplay modes to the already abundant setup given to us in the healthy DDRMAX 2: Dance Dance Revolution. Heaving more than 200 minutes of original and licensed music at gamers, Konami has added music videos to the fray to give the lively (but weird) screen a little more oomph

IGN says it has 200 minutes of music... which is like 140 songs or about?|

sorry just repeated wat questionmark said ahh.

One thing that strikes me as odd is that there's no mention of downloadable content or online multiplayer capabilities. Given the big marketing push that Sony is giving to the PS2 network adapter and hard drive (and the fact that Ultramix has both features) it would make sense to incorporate it into US Extreme. Then again, maybe Konami is waiting to see how Ultramix fares in this regard before deciding if they'll include it in Extreme.

Well, I can't say this wasn't expected. Probably will be even better than Max2US. I'm certainly looking forward to a summer of predictions, as well as the upcoming E3 report. I think it would make sense, with the sheer amount of new songs introduced in the Extreme arcade version, for KOA to put out half in this newly announced mix and half in another US mix. I'd imagine, to put out a wild/semi-educated guess, we'll see A, Paranoia Survivor, Captain Jack (Grandale Mix), and Frozen Ray. At least A and Captain Jack I'm 80% sure on. Try me closer and see if I'm right. I was, after all, right about Paranoia KCET and Afronova.

If we do get online gameplay (doubt it happening, unless they plan to release the info after the hard drive is successfully launched) then they definately need to fix the mistakes KoH did on Ultramix.

1) Better ranking system (not based on wins alone)
2) No little freezes in the middle of a song for no reason due to your connection (especially if you have broadband, like XBOX LIVE)
3) More online V.S. options, like modifiers and each person getting to pick a song to play in a best out of three match.
4) NO MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE PLAYING! Those arrows were rediculous to read while jumping around when 4 players were playing.

But like i said, probably ain't gonna happen.

As for Mission, it's probably like 4th/Extra/Ultramix's Challenge with a new name, but a cool (yet farfetched) idea for it could be where you challenge opponents (computer-controlled) to a game of DDR or enter tournaments. If you win, you earn cash that you can use to buy unlockables. But, maybe just sticking to the Challenge Mode-type of Mission Mode may be less confusing and easier to work with.

i'm just happy to see yet another ddr mix.

i'm glad it's not dead, and that konami sees the usa/canadian market as a viable one.

and they should considering all the ddr releases here since usa max 1 have outsold the japanese counterparts BIG time..

I just hope we finally see Captain Jack (Grandle Remix).

Screenshot 3 looks like Stomp to my Beat...and I'm guessing we're finally gonna get the lyrical version of Candy as well

What we NEED to get though, is Paranoia ~Respect~. Fuck this Max., that was a horrible remix. Respect actually sounds like a whole new Paranoia.

If we were gonna get online capabilities, I think they would have announced it. So no online play is my guess

And what they NEED to put in is more 5th mix. Bring back my long songs! You want me to do a mission? Fine, make me show you the more Glorious Style of B4U and make me go to my Hot Limit

But yeah, Max was better than Max2, especially since half of Max2's songlist is on Konamix and Max (and 25% of their songs just suck)

And Gamelan de Couple...we need the Gamelans

All this talk about not much bemani other than DDR is scaring me. I really want A, V, sync, sakura, and the iidx songs to be in extreme. that's the part of the arcade song list i liked the most!

Before everyone rules out the possibility of online play, Konami's website does also state "all-new surprises". This could be and ultimately would be the biggest surprise. DDRExtreme is also quite possibly the last DDR mix (at least for a long while based on what we've all heard), so why would Konami hold back anything? If done correctly (which is exactly opposite of what Ultramix is doing), online downloads open up nearly limitless replayability which nearly guarantees success. Finally, comparing how Extreme would do online versus Ultramix is stupid, simply because of the shear number of gamers out there that own PS2s to Xboxes. DDR was first made on Playstation and its biggest fanbase will remain on Playstation. Simple as that.

Hey!! Look! The songlist on screenshot #8 repeats itself after a mere 6 slots! ( 2 of which are random and roulette, of course )

So that means that someone compiled a preview version of Extreme with only 4 songs on it and you know what that means....

DEMO DISK!

So now we know what four songs are on the demo this time.

Huh. I can't figure out these stepcharts.

1 = The end of Mobo*Moga, P2 is using stealth.

2 = ? ( heavy, 6820686042 )
3 = ? ( standard, 202024!4008206 )
5 = ? ( heavy, 46466202608 ) <- looks easy to figure out

6 = Sweet Sweet Love Magic, row 5 column 5
7 = ? ( heavy, 8000A0842086 )

Instinct tells me that all 8 screenies come from the same version of the game. Therefore, two, three, five, AND seven must all be A Stupid Barber because none of them are CSFIL speed mix. I checked several dozen songs without any success but I couldn't check A Stupid Barber because I don't have my copy of Extreme at the moment and this site doesn't have A Stupid Barber's stepchart. ( And Google failed me once again )

Dear Konami

A

That is all.

OK I lied. I was pleasently surprised by Tomorrow Perfume. In fact, it got me interested in IIDX. Something like Abstract or LAB in extreme would be awesome. And PLEASE figure out some way to continue the series. I would hate for the US versions to stop at Extreme.
