"Ok just to clarify Konami doesn't actually think your kids are fat, but they are hosting a very big Dance Dance Revolution tournament to raise obesity awareness. The event will be held in West Virginia on July 27 and the 28th where the game has become extremely popular in the local community; whoever wins the tournament gets scholarships and other prizes."
"Konami has announced the European release of DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 for Wii this June, both as a stand-alone title or bundled with the world-renowned Dance Mat peripheral."
"Konami's Dance Dance Revolution and Nintendo's Wii Fit have often been referred to in the same breath, much due to both games having the knack of leaving their players collapsed in an exhausted, sweaty heap on the floor after an intense session of play (intentionally or neigh). One DDR producer explained the firm is considering the Balance Board for future versions of the game."

('Course, a real Bemani fan doesn't really care. :P)

"Either someone at Konami enjoys a good Engrlish laugh or the translation folks were asleep at the virtual wheel, but the official website for Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party for Wii features some unintentionally hilarious quotes from various Bemani-related creative folk:
"Wow! The sound and dance come together and make me feel so wonderful!" - Pop'n Music series director - masaru
"This game is killing it!" - Dance Dance Revolution Extreme director - Inubouzu
"This game is bumpin'! ..."
As promised by Konami, they've put up soundtracks to some classic franchises of theirs on a couple of online stores (Contra, Castlevania) and now the DDR SuperNOVA soundtrack is now available for purchase on iTunes.
Before you put down the $13 for the album, you should know a few things:
-Songs by the band BeForU is absent, as well as Riyu Kosaka's Honey Punch. Mysteriously enough, other Japanese songs are retained.
-The Nonstop Megamix is segmented up! It is no longer the 1-hour l...

Last year, Konami held a contest where four lucky people got to have their songs in a couple of DDR games. The contest was held once again and two new winners will get their songs heard on upcoming DDR games, including:
Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 for Xbox 360
Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2 for what's very likely to be PS2 but don't count out the American arcade version either
Dancing Stage SuperNOVA 2 for Europe (same deal as DDR SuperNOVA 2)
None of those games have been ...
