Interesting 9th Mix News

1) Everyone should've known EXTREME wasn't the last. Konami of Japan would of officially announced it just like they did with Beatmania 5-Key, Guitar Freaks, and Dancemaniax. KOJ has no reason to close the DDR section of Bemani, it has a huge fanbase in America now, and it has already come all the way to its 8th version.

2) Just because KOA closed its arcade division doesn't mean that the company it sold it to can't create another DDR. Or even better no reason why KOJ can't release a new DDR in America.

3) If this is true, even though it's not official news or anything, this is good news. The more DDR that comes out, the better possibility of a new DDR US Arcade Mix, more home mixes, and more Bemani in the US.

Me to the magic 8-ball: Is there really gonna be another US mix?
8-ball: Ask again later.

Sounds intriguing; however I shall not get me hopes up. I can already see Sandstorm and other stuff from Max USA on it. Maybe Days Go By? *shrug* We can only hope.

I think they should make two more mixes. The first one would be just another mix.(new songs etc.) The second one would only be for the last mix. They should put every ddr song on one mix, even though that's pretty big, then they should put it out in stores. Sure, it might cost more then another game, but I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

9th mix should have only have about 270 songs, and should run off a DVD-ROM disc instead of a CD-ROM. Here's why:

((JUst to start off the post positively: The Artist Z?... OH MAN if CSFIL super euro gets in the new mix**IF THERE IS ONE** I would <3 it sooo badly))

Anyways... hmm.. about 9th Mix: For all those who doubted DDR would return, shame. I figure this Namco manager is correct, possibly because I'm too trusting :X

But that aside, don't start posting this rumours (release dates, mix names etc.) because you all know where rumour threads land us.

I personally believe there will be a 9th mix, and unless that complete bombs, they'll at least take it to 10th mix before they stop.

Nonetheless I think Konami might have originally planned to make EXTREME the end of the road. I dunno, I think having the game's title track Dance Dance Revolution just kinda gave it that feel. Meh, just food for thought.

I don't doubt that Konami would make another mix. I would be sort of disappointed, however, if they don't revolutionize it like the Beatmania->IIDX jump... DDR *was* the most popular of the Bemani genre and Konami gives it the least attention (all the good FMV from Extreme are ripped off from other Bemani games). Even without new arrows, better speakers and DVD quality videos would be much appreciated.

But I seriously doubt that KOJ would release something "for America". I'm sure licensing and international copyright issues will get in the way somehow. The most you can expect is that they'd pick more songs that caters to American taste (according to them anyway, i.e. La Copa De La Vida and We Will Rock You)

First of all, to the person complaining about some songs from other Bemani games being undancable, you are about to hear my words of wisdom in freestyling. All songs are dancable, you just have to find a way to make it dancable. Besides, I see nothing wrong with most of the songs they put in from other Bemani games.

I predict that the next mix of DDR should come out in early December of this year.

i think konami should make a new verison of ddr hardware wise, yes bring in the sixpannel on both sides, Yes bring in teh DVD drive, and konami for hte love of god dont releice just 1000 copys of the official upgrade kit, it will bring you to suffering with bootlegging.

I really do hope this comes out...I mean If this does...then they wil probably stop at 10th mix. The reason why i say that is because 9 is an od numberto stop at...but I hope the song ln it are evern better than Extreme (BTW Extreme has a really good song list)

I'd hate to be the one to poop on everyones party but....

It is my humble opinion that DDR Extreme seems so..."Final" so to speak.

Think about it...

A song CALLED "Dance Dance Revolution" as the FINAL HIDDEN Stage in which THE CHALLENGE STEPS ARE COMPILED STEPCHART SECTIONS OF DDR CLASSICS. Also, The LEGEND of Max.

246 songs from EVERY MIX CONCIEVABLE...(C'mon...Club Version...I never heard of it until DDR Extreme...Wasn't that a Dreamcast only mix or something....Correct me if I'm wrong....)

LEGEND oni, Featuring the hardest steps in existance.

Everything about it seems like it's the last mix that will ever be made...Maybe it's just me thinking too much.

The only thing keeping me in high hopes is the simple fact that there was no official announcement yet....

Here's hoping....
