Hi! We would like your feedback on workout mode in DDR! Are there things you love? Are there things you think can be improved? Are there things you think should be removed? Would you like more expanded online features, to track your progress, and compare against friends and the world? Please let us know!

Would you like more expanded online features, to track your progress, and compare against friends and the world?

THIS i would love to see in the next version...

..other than that i think the Workout mode is pretty well done, i have nothing else to say about it other than that =)

I love the workout switch!!

 I would like a mode where I can play a lot of songs without having to stop and load each one. (stopping each time ruins the "workout" aspect of the game!!) Being able to compile that list would be ideal, but I'm sure that it would have to load each song.. (which brings us back to stopping after each song...)

 POWER mode in Universe 2 was very cool EXCEPT there were so few to choose from!! So I wouldn't mind a repeat of this mode but add more! At least 15 song mixes would be nice!!

I would like to see scores ported into and out of Workout Mode, it always stinks when I get a good score in Workout Mode just to remember that it won't be saved.

Other than that, I've got nothing. I love Workout Mode.

A USB optional heart rate monitor receiver. The kind where you wear the strap around your chest and wear the watch for user interface, but this could interface directly with the console!

 'cuz otherwise the calorie counts have been really, really messed up, in every version i've tried.

To be honest, before improving Workout Mode, it is very important to make sure there are no glitches in the game.

DDR Universe 3 has a lot of problems - it's unfortunate. I posted a thread about the ones I have encountered thus far here.

I don't use Workout mode as much as I used too, mainly because my stats are not carried over from game to game. DDR games need to have this option.

To be honest, I don't use Workout Mode.  As an anorexic, losing weight is probably the last thing I need to worry about.  However, the ability to compare your numbers with other players' sounds like a good idea.  Heck, maybe you can even put up a leaderboard for most cumulative calories burned.  I imagine it would give over-competitive weight-watchers another reason to keep playing.

The one thing I would love to see is the option to show calories burned during regular gameplay.  You could do this in DDR Extreme, and I really appreciated that.  For all the other games, I've had to go through the songlist for about a week, playing every song several times on Heavy and noting the calories burned, then add the average for each song to my score sheet.  This is a pain. And I have gotten high scores in while in workout mode that I haven't been able to match in regular mode. Since I got them in workout mode they don't count.  Grr.

So - give us the option to count calorines in gameplay mode!  Don't make us choose between calorie counts and high scores!

Give gamers exclusive songs/mixes to play in Workout Mode.

Please don't.  It would be irritating to have to change modes just to play a certain song(s).  It already irks me in the previous Universe games that I have to back out of normal Game Mode and go to Party Mode to play the Power Mixes.

I'm sorry, when I posted the above, I hadn't played Nonstop mode in Universe 3. But now I have and I have to say: I LOVE NONSTOP MODE!! (Even better than POWER MODE!!)

Here's why:

Great workout! (IF you turn off the interval !!! otherwise, you see a loading screen between each song.)

CUSTOMIZED WORKOUT! (I can choose a list of songs and just play them without having to load each one!!! There seems to be no limit on the songs I can add to the list! )

VARIED WORKOUT: Infinite Challenge just plays random songs (and keeps on playing them!!!). Also, I can dance to the presets. OR change my songlists I've made!

 In between the songs (there is a pause in the arrows), I march in place to keep up my heart rate! The songs don't compile as seemlessly, but it's not annoying... just march or jump on your arrows while waiting! Keep workin it!!

WHAT I DON'T LIKE: (In other words, can you change these few things please? Or make them a bit more optional?)

--it ends as soon as the dance gauge is empty.(I even went to options to turn this off, but it didn't work in nonstop mode!) And there is no way to replenish the dance gauge.

--Also, I don't like how the presets have predetermined modes of difficulty. I can't seem to change those... That's unfortunate!

 So, keep the workout switch,... add a bit more options to Nonstop mode and I will think a "DDR Workout" will be finally be how I want it!!

Relating to HP

Online access would be GREAT!  In workout mode or otherwise...

The ability to choose more than 6 songs in workout orders for longer workouts

Show both scores: calories burned and letter grade/combos etc.

Let us see how many calories we burned in a song in just normal gameplay a la Extreme CS.  It was unintrusive and didn't require you to play in a specific mode to see how many calories you burned.

Bring back the workout mode from SuperNOVA but still keep the calorie tracker as optional while playing in game/arcade mode.

I would like to see more American songs by American artists. I realize this is a Japanese game, but I would rather see American music that I like and am familiar with. Maybe an 80's music version? If you can't do that, then the capability to add my own music.

I would like for it to automatically get harder gradually. Some of the songs have a huge change in difficulty between levels. The lower level is too easy, the harder level beyond my capabilities. It's frustrating

I would like to be able to select the songs and have the workout mode automatically start with a warm up, slowly get more difficult and work its way back to a cool down without me having to figure it out myself.

I think Workout Mode should be a combination of how it is in DDRMAX2 and DDR Ultramix 3. It's great to have a Workout Mode for those who would like to strictly workout, but it's annoying how your scores aren't saved and you can't play other parts of the game. So, I think there should be a Workout Mode (like DDRMAX2) and another mode, perhaps in the Options, where you can play the game like normal, but it will keep track of your weight and amount of calories burned, among other data (like in Ultramix 3).

I think the next DDR game for the Wii should somehow allow for the peripheral use of the Wii Fit accesory. That would be cool!

Actually, I like workout mdoe a lot on ddr :D i would like to see calories on game mode xD 

As a suggestion, it would be col to put a secret course, the non-stopmegamix songs as a workout course :D

The main problem with the workout mode is that you usually stop after a couple songs, you know, when the course ends. It would be nice to put a NS megamix, since these are one-hour long song mix, and thats usually the time you get to workout on aerobics =) 

And truth be told, the megamixes would be awesome aerobics music sesion =)

I agree with Temo. It would be nice to have a workout mode version of endless mode. Also make it where it saves you scores like on Hottest Party for the Wii

I like how it works now! Especially now I know what weight to go for thanks to the BMI information on Hottest Party 3. And maybe an "Endless Mode" I hear about for Workout Mode or something...that you can do every song in the game? That would be great!
