Heh, very nice thread title.

Looks interesting, but I don't think it'll change the fact that I'm terrible at Dance Dance Revolution.

Oh. My. Goodness.

MY WILDEST FANTASIES HAVE COME TRUE!

This is a better Christmas present than a DS. Seriously. This will be the best year of gaming known to mankind (with the possible exception of 1998 and 2004).

Please tell me, MEGAß¥TE, is this real? Frankly, the screenshots look fake, and the fact that I have heard nothing hinting at a Mario DDR game on IGN or anywhere else suggests that they are fake. Then again, anything is possible, given that Mario is now appearing in NBA Street Volume 3...

If this IS a real development, and if (this is possibly an equally big if) such a game is ever realeased in the US, I will almost certainly buy it. But I'm guessing it's fake...

Umm, did you notice where I linked to? Nintendo's corporate webpage. It's real.

Hm. . .I never was to interested in DDR. Or any kind of think like parrapa the rapper of Channel 7 or whatever that dancing game that sega came out with is.

I'd just like to say that I had roughly 8,632 times the amount of fun playing Space Channel 5 Part 2 level 2 than I did in the entire playthrough of Final Fantasy VI. Yet, I say that Final Fantasy VI is a better game. Why? I'm not sure. FFVI is a masterfully crafted story with fantastic characters and moments, but the overall fun level throughout is quite low for me. Space Channel 5 feels like someone filled a gigantic syringe with FUN and slammed it into a large vein in my forhead. Perhaps a Miyamoto quote is relevent here:

I personally have a fundamental dislike of the RPG system. I think that in RPGs, you are completely bound hand and foot and can't move. Only gradually, as your character gains powers, do you become able to move your hands, your feet... you come untied slowly. And in the end, you feel powerful. So what you can get out of an RPG is a feeling of happiness, but I don't think that is a game that is fundamentally fun to play. But, with Mario's games, if you're not good at them you may never get good. Anyone can become really good at an RPG, though, and if you still want to play a Mario title... in those cases it's a good system. There are many people who like it, and there are certain types of games for which the system is perfectly suited. The RPG system works best for games with lots of dialogue, to help bring about a writer's voice, to bring a book to life.

End Miyamoto-san quote. I think the last phrase reveals what kind of love I have for Final Fantasy VI - the same love that I have for books. But not the same love that I have for games. The small level of interactivity (although the story is still strictly linear) just serves to make it feel more like my story.

A few questions remain unanswered in this strange, pondering post. Why does my fondness for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars seem different still. Perhaps it stems from a nostalgia, considering it was the first RPG I really played. Perhaps it comes from the many Mario-esque elements fused onto the traditional RPG mold. Perhaps not. There were other questions, too, but I forgot them.

What I really hope is that they make another Space Channel 5. This world has too many Fantasies that tie you down, and not nearly enough that let you dance.

Heh, I've waited long enough for this day to come. I hope it'll be worth it.

Mario and the gang are just full of surprises, aren't they?

LOL

I just can't help but think how funny it would be if this turned out to be Mario Party 7 with a dance pad peripheral. Nintendo has let us down again! But that probably won't happen. Hey, is this the first dancing game for GC?

No. There is the Mc Groovz Dance game for GCN, but's its not DDR.

You. Are. Kidding. Me.

HOLY FREAKIN' GOD! YES YES YES!
Now there is absolutely NO reason to buy a PS2! YES YES YES! DDR is the only reason I would even THINK about buying a PS2! YES YES YES! I love the world! There MUST be a God if Mario is coming out WITH DDR on da Gamecube!

Man, don't you play any Squaresoft RPGs or latter-day Mega Man X games?

I have a terrible fear that this game will not make it stateside. I think we should start an online petition to make sure that this game is released in the US. Only, someone else has to get it started, because I am too lazy and I wouldn't know how to go about starting an online petition anyway. So, somebody get to it! Don't let DDR with Mario suffer the same fate as Nintendo Puzzle Collection!
