Check your warning points. Doesn't look like you're doing a very good job. Calm down, and expand your vocabulary beyond "butthurting".

This is good news most definitely. Give me all the licensed stuff from 7th and down plus some good trance beats and I'll be happy. A guy can dream...right?

. Can't wait to see the new cab.

*looks back at the teaser page*

I don't see a widescreen there. But that could be the non-DX version.

If my crappy web-based translators are working correctly, then those USB slots are for implementing Link Mode with the PS2. ("USBã¡ã¢ãªã¼ãä½¿ã£ã¦PS2çã¨ãªãªã¸ãã«ã·ã¼ã±ã³ã·ã£ã«ãªã©ããªã³ã¯å¯è½") Maybe those things in the middle that I saw were USB slots? They are right where the memory card slots used to be.

Yeah, the whole thing says something like "USB Memory for use of linking to the PS2 version and original sequencer"

Ok guys, brace yourself...am-net just updated the DDR:X page with features.

Cabinet will feature:
Widescreen monitor
Satellite Unit Ultra-Luxury Lights
Updated Speaker System

The PS2 version will be released this winter, and players can make edits and play them at the arcade.

A new gimmick, entitled "Shock Arrow" will be introduced. This arrow should not be stepped on. It is unknown at this time whether this will be a regular feature, or whether it will be in an optional mode or modifer.

It mentions that the step variations will increase.

Beginner mode will now be called starter mode

Looks like the courses will be in "Course Mode" and a new "Dance Drill Course" will be used as well.

e-amusement will once again be used.

Lastly, the song count is going to be "More than 60 new songs"

A response from Konami:

"More than 60 new songs"

Oops 90% are locked 'cuase we forgot e-Amuse for the third time lol

"The PS2 version will be released this winter"

With the JP version a month later, with all the features and songs that people actually wanted.

"It mentions that the step variations will increase. "

More beginner, oops, "starter" mode steps.

"A new gimmick, entitled 'Shock Arrow'"

We got tired of spamming boss songs with jumps and crossovers already.

"Satellite Unit Ultra-Luxury Lights "

Now not only will the arrows blend in with the background, so will the marquee and flood lights!

"Widescreen monitor "

Cool, but we forgot this is a vertical scrolling game.

"players can make edits and play them at the arcade. "

Sorry, we advertised a feature falsely 'cuase we picked a crappy manufacturer that pulled out at the last minute lawl

"Betson's not making the cabs anymore"

Chinese babies are cheaper anyways, right guys!

Cheers!

-Konami/Beston

C'mon you know that's exactly what will happen. I hope I'm wrong though<(I said this about SN1 and SN2)

The PS2 version they mention IS the Japanese game. The US game is out on September 18th.

More stuff:

You can play edits via USB on the cabinet, and Konami will publish good edits on all machines using e-Amuse.

Old songs being revived are mentioned, including "Strongest previous" songs.

In future DDR games, the number of new songs will increase by 1.5x in volume.

e-Amuse will have several new features, including a "welcome system" for those who are new to DDR and a 'Friend system' that may be something like Rivals on IIDX.

So basically, the only thing that is worrying me about this mix are Shock Arrows. Besides that, it looks pretty sweet.

Looks like a cool cab, but the lights worry me. I hated the side lights on those PIU FX ( or whatever is was called) cabs. There are in face, 4 arrow buttons and and a center button, hmmm.

So I wonder... how much is thing going to cost? It's neat. It's looks cool. It's great and all of that good stuff. I just wonder if the game will be good enough and have enough player interest to make money for the vendors who would buy it.

Hopefully, some of the ITG mods will make an appearance in this game.
