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).

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...

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.

Do you suppose that the direction arrows correspond to the analog stick directions or to the D-Pad directions? I would guess that the arrows correspond to the D-Pad, since the D-Pad is already digital, but I hope that the arrows correspond to the analog stick. That way, you could use the pad to play other GameCube games! Smash Smash Revolution, anyone? Even without the X, Y, L, R, and D-Up buttons, playing SSBM on a DDR pad would be crazily fun.

The Japanese pads look cheap. I hope there is a way to use my PS2 Red Octane style DDR pads on the Cube.

2. The drum game for PS2 that Namco made that controlled almost exactly like Donkey Konga was filled with a cool DDR-style songlist. Funny how that worked.
3. Once an official dance pad is actually out for GCN, I have a feeling that all future DDR versions (non-Mario) will come out for Cube too.

DDR lives on past Extreme. Will future arcade versions come out? Those were just rumors, right?
Post by: Luigison on January 23, 2005, 09:32:13 PM
I haven't heard any Mario/Nintendo music in DDR with Mario. Is/will there be any? I hope so. It would also be cool if they added Mario/Nintendo sounds for the different dance pad buttons like they did in Donkey Konga.
The only DDR game I have is Extreme. When I bought it I thought it had We Will Rock you in it, but it doesn't (that I found). Do any of the DDR versions have rock or nondance songs?

I know of one other dance game for GameCube. It is called MC Groovz danceCraze, it features a dance pad, and it is currently released in the US. However, it was published by MadCatz, a company that has never made software before (to the best of my knowledge) and is notorious for making poor quality hardware. Somehow I'm guessing MC Groovz isn't all that hot. IGN hasn't even bothered to review it.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. But I think we can all agree that Mario rules and that''s a fact!
