Fans Of Best-Selling Dance Franchise Will Flock to GameWorks Arcades Across the Country to Compete in the First Official Nationwide DanceDanceRevolution Tournament

 
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – September 24 - 2009 – Time to put on those dancing shoes and let the search for the ultimate dancer in the United States begin – DanceDanceRevolution style. Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced the launch of the official 2009 DanceDanceRevolution U.S. Championships. Beginning September 26, the first-ever national DanceDanceRevolution competition will bring together the greatest DanceDanceRevolution players from around the country to compete in seven different regional tournaments all over the United States. All this action will culminate when the top dancers in each region will advance to the National Finals in Las Vegas on December 5^th, 2009 where the number one DanceDanceRevolution player will be crowned.

"With such a large following and so many great players all across the country, the time is right to host an official competition that will appeal to both old and new DanceDanceRevolution enthusiasts as we look to find who is truly the ultimate."

The DanceDanceRevolution U.S. Championships will take place inside local GameWorks arcades in each region. Such a grand scale will put DanceDanceRevolution players up to the ultimate test as they compete against each other on the ever-popular arcade unit – DanceDanceRevolution Super Nova. Up to 160 elite DanceDanceRevolution players will compete in the full day competition. The top performer in each region, based on the highest number of points, will advance to the National Finals and a chance to win a $1000 Best Buy gift card and other prizes – as well as the title of top DanceDanceRevolution player in the country.  Additionally, all competitors will receive a $10 coupon to Best Buy when they show up at the event at GameWork locations. For information on how to register to compete, people should go to http://www.konami.com/ddruschamps/ .

Dear DDR Fans!

First we must apologize for the lack of communication recently, as you may have guessed we have been busy.  However this is not to say we have not been watching and listening to the comments on the player websites / forums since the initial launch of the new DDR X machines.

We would like to thank you for your interest and your comments about the new DDR X machine.  There have been many comments made about various points of the new DDR X machines.

One of the most common points has been about the “Sync Issue”.  We are aware of this issue and a “fix” has been developed / finalized and will be fitted to the machines in the market ASAP, it is going to take a little time to get it to all of the locations but we are working to get this done ASAP.  Again, please accept our apologies for this issue, it will be fixed very soon.

We have also noticed a lot of complaints and negative comments about Betson Enterprises on the forums.  We would like to make you all aware, Konami is solely responsible for the redesign and manufacturing of the cabinet, Betson Enterprises are the exclusive distributor for the product in the US and are doing a tremendous job in the sales and distribution of the Konami product line and also in supporting our products.

On a more positive note we see a lot of you are asking “what are the USB slots for?”  We can now confirm (although some of you already know) these are for the Dance Step Editor function we are working on.  We cannot reveal the full details at this time, however we will be beta testing they system on Aug 11 before the mass roll out.

WEB Address: http://ddredit.konamionline.com/

Looking to the future we will continue to check the web forums for comments and feedback on the products.  We do check most of the major player forums on a regular basis but please feel free to post information and have discussions on the Konami DDR Community; http://www.ddronlinecommunity.com/ 

Thanks again for your passion and comments

All the best

The DDR Community Website is proud to present our second Inside Scoop Report on DDR Hottest Party 2!  Below we have a great amount of new feedback on some of the game's hottest songs from the composers themselves.  Names like jun, U1-ASAMi, and TOMOSUKE have dropped in to give you the lowdown on some of their favorite DDR Hottest Party 2 work.  Read, enjoy, and discuss this great information right here on the Official Discussion Thread.

 

Suppression and liberation.
Maybe both of them are necessary.

U1-ASAMi

Because we want love,
we put on some music.
Let's dance together.

U1-ASAMi

I wanted to create a song that has the same feel as the songs by the popular band, "Otome House."
The vocalist's airy voice perfectly matches this tune.
If this song is played at full volume at a club, I'm sure everybody will groove to this.

TOMOSUKE






This is a boss song like "SUPER SAMURAI" in Hottest Party.
I was going to make a rave type song like the previous song. But somehow I felt an urge to create a "happy hardcor" tune. Then I ended up making this song!
I don't know why but I sometimes feel the urge to write "happy hardcore" songs.

I picked the title, "SILVER☆DREAM," to give you a sparkling image.
It's a pretty difficult song, but get the sparkling feel and enjoy dancing!

I want to sing this song myself someday...

jun

When I finished creating this song, somehow I wasn't quite happy about my arrangement. So I asked jun to rearrange the song.

NAOKI


I (jun) arranged NAOKI's song and NAOKI arranged my song!
It was our first time to do this arrangement exchange for English songs.

This song was created by NAOKI and rearranged by me (jun).
I was pretty nervous because I did not want to lose the pop feel that I got when I listened to this song for the first time.
But at the same time, I had a lot of fun arranging a song created by NAOKI.

I actually want to remix many other NAOKI's songs.
NAOKI, please let me do it someday!!

jun

NAOKI arranged my (jun's) song and I arranged a NAOKI's song!
It was our first time to do this arrangement exchange for English songs.

This song was created by me (jun) and rearranged by NAOKI.
I gave NAOKI a rough version of this song and a few days later, I was pleasantly surprised by this remix. I have never imagined that the song would sound like this!

NAOKI often remix my songs for TЁЯRA. But this remix was so different from other remixes. I was impressed again with NAOKI's broad range of abilities.

NAOKI sound is truly deep.

jun


I liked this tune created by jun, so I was happy to rearrange this.

NAOKI






Strive together. Learn and teach each other. 

U1-ASAMi


This is jun.
I am a navigator to help players enjoy playing Hottest Party 2.☆

I'm a navigator? I'm embarrassed.

When I was asked to be a navigator, I wasn't sure if I should do it. I was like, "is it OK for me to speak in the game?" But since it was a rare opportunity for me, I decided to accept the offer!
I was so happy to be able to experience different tasks including character design which I usually don't have a chance to experience.
Thank you for allowing me to be a navigator!

Come on, everyone!
DDR veterans, DDR beginners,
fathers, mothers, girls, boys, people who don't get enough exercise... and YOU!

Everybody, let's dance!

Let's play Hottest Party 2! ☆

jun






It's like a flower reflected in a mirror.


It's like the moon reflected on the surface of the water.　


The place where you dance is…


a sad, transient, isolated visionary castle.


I want you to understand,


"There is no truth there."


jun






Among all the songs I made for Hottest Party 2, this was the first song I completed.
I wanted to create a ballade for the longest time, so I was so happy to be able to make this song!!
I truly enjoyed making this song.

I asked Rita to do vocal for the first time.
When I listened to a Rita's demo, I thought, "I've got to have Rita for this song!"

This is one of my favorite songs! ♥♥♥

jun






Hello, fans of Hottest Party 2! I'm LEA DROP.
"JUST BELIEVE" is a powerful girls' rock song.
Let's dance as aggressively as the strong sound.

LEA DROP






Here is a truly hip, cool track for you.
This is a rap for grown-ups. The beat of the words is amazing, right?
I wanted to pay a tribute to that famous song. Have you noticed?
It's nice to soak in the grown-up ambiance.
I want to create a song like this again. I promise I will!
