DDR Extreme US release announced for this fall!

Considering how in Konamix, there was a Beatmania folder, I think that if there's a sort series option they will have the names of other Bemani series. However, I don't think SCEA (Sony) will allow an Ultramix folder because that is technically promoting people to buy an Xbox. Here's what I think the folders might be:

DDR Extreme
Max 2
Max
Konamix
DDR 1st Mix
Drummania (man I hope all of the songs in this folder make it, esp Across The Nightmares)
Beatmania
IIDX
III
Mamba A Go Go (Mobo Moga was in that game right?)
Keyboard Mania
Dance Freaks

I doubt the Para Para Paradise Folder will make it though. If I'm missing any others please forgive me, I'm only going from the top of my head. Also, they could put in a 2nd Mix and 3rd Mix folder because before the arcade division closed down I think they did release american versions of those mixes.

Then again though, unless we get more than 75 songs, I don't think a Sort Series option will be useful, and right now it appears we will be getting the same amount of songs as the last 2 US versions.

If they do delete the Sort Series option, I hope they add in a Sort by Artist option. Then you can find all of the Naoki songs under N or DJ Taka under D. It would be convienient if you happen to like a lot of the songs by one artist.

They could also do Sort by Music. In that one they can sort KO's by mix (Extreme, Max 2, etc) and then there can be another folder that contains all of the new liscensed music (I hope for more DJ Sammy and Castles in the Sky from Ultramix).

1 prob with KOA teaming up with harmonix for this, all of the songs they got from that would have to be cut, unless the brought back long versions,
and incase any1 didnt notice, 1/2 the songs in karaoke revolution are remakes, and they give no credit to the artists unless u sit through the credits, and no one does that.

Just an observation on repeats: I'd rather have a US mix full of repeats that were good songs as opposed to a mix with little repeats and alot of NEW filler.

If KOA and Harmonix did team up, I could imagine some songs that would be perfect for this mix, such as See It, Selecta, Control Your Body, and FreQ Out.

Good to here that both Oni and maybe Nonstop are in. As for the 100+ Minutes = 60+ songs thing, what if this could mean that they will use less repeats? But the release date seems to be I think Q3 2004 accourding to Gamespot. That's I think somewhere around the fall, so the 100+ song thing may happen.

And I hope this time they add long songs, mainly "B4U Glorious Style".

No kidding! I really hope they add long songs too...B4U Glorious Style is my all time favorite song...

But I'm excited, I think this game will be well worth the wait.

Minor concern... but I think there's a possibilty of the Extreme/Party Collection laziness. I.E. Ready/Go screens will be from Max2 and announcer during end of oni will say "You were doing all right till halfway!". Hopefully they'll have the decency to correct that for a US release.

think about this if DDR EX us had downloadable content you would need too many memory cards for this... stepmania files 1.25-2.78mb .....

Max. (period), Paranoia ~respect~ have an encredible thin margin of making it to this mix we never get any good new releases in our mixes im sticking to SM for a long time ill buy this mix play it and put it into my collection....

Trip 5 must be in this mix or i will cry KoA if u see this put in Trip 5, PARANOia Bros. please

Abyss the heavens remix

A

V

Every single paranoia out there ohh hell we might even get PARANOiA millenium or EVIL that would kick buttocks w00t

over all my anticipation of this game

ill believe it when i see the good songs...

the songlist will probably be mainly from extreme and party collection jp, so i bet you guys get

captain jack (grandale remix)
dam dariram
butterfly

and theres a big songlist file that features on all cs games, listing all the songs ever, some of these include

Stayin' Alive
Come Into My World (Kylie)
Hey Mickey
Stronger (Britney)

heck, maybe you'll get another Captain Jack song, like Only You...
i hope you get most of the KOs from extreme.

I expect to see EVERY IIDX song from Extreme arcade on this new home version and I expect to see at least 100 songs on this new mix. I don't want a lousy 68 songs with songs from other home mixes and lousy U.S. exclusives because U.S. techno sucks!

What seems to be happening since in terms of what we're getting is since the us home version seemed to have been coming out after the next arcade version came out, we got maxusa when max2 was out and then max2usa when extreme was out. is that we're kind of getting what is popular with the current arcade machine but not everything from it. They leave the extra and one more try stages alone, grab some songs here and there then take whatever is more popular in the arcade like ddrmaxusa got oni from max2, nonstop I assume was more popular at time from extreme so max2usa got it, and now since more people seem to play oni they're giving oni back to the extreme usa mix. The only things I can't seems to fit into this theory is the dancers, the endless mode, and then this mission mode that sounds like from ultramix. I work at an arcade and been playing/watching this trend kind of take place for ddr. If this is gonna apply to usa extreme I would say 2 songs were gonna get no matter what are legend of max and ddr for our extra and one more try stages. I wouldn't be surprised to see something of what gonna be in ddr 9th mix.

I'll be extremely happy if any of the following songs make it to EXTREME:
-The Legend of Max
-Daikenkai
-A
-V
-Midnight Blaze (SySF Mix)
-B4U ~Glorious Style~
-Stoic
-Sync (probably won't happen but I wish every night this will happen)
-MAX (period)
-Memories
-Frozen Ray
-Blue Impulse

All of those songs make me droll, as most (or all) are from the arcade version of DDR EXTREME. I just love Sync. I hope Konami doesn't screw this up. I'm really hoping for some NEW songs, not just crappy repeats like "I was the One." Down to hell with that song already!!
