Dance Dance Revolution Universe

"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."

A couple days ago I posted an article regarding Konami wanting player feedback with their 360 DDR game DDR Universe. Earlier today, the subject of backwards compatibility was brought up and the person overlooking the feedback said that Microsoft now disallows sequels/future versions of games to pick up data from a previous game to be used.

In other words, those songpacks you bought on Guitar Hero 2 or DDR Universe? NOT PLAYABLE on Guitar Hero 3/DDR Universe 2.

How often do you hear this? A developer wants feedback for one of their own games!

One of the devs at Konami Digital Entertainment wants player feedback of all the things players have experienced in Dance Dance Revolution Universe for the Xbox 360.

Even if you've played once or not at all, consider looking up other people's experiences about the game and, if it hasn't been heard, voice your opinion on the topic. Look up videos of songs being played (trust me, there ARE; no excuses) an...

Konami announces another two titles will be added in the ever-expanding library of its famous rhythm game franchise Dance Dance Revolution. They are firstly Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 for XBOX 360 and Dance Dance Revolution Supernova 2 for Playstation 2. According to Konami, there will be an awesome new song lineup from the 70's all the way through the 90's and the present.

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 ...
