It seems they are going to stop the series for a while (meaning not definitely) to put more strength in Beatmania, Guitarfreaks and Drummania.
That's good and all, but what about Pop'n music?

Well Pop N' Music is the only big bemani game in Japan right now so they should do something about that series. I thought they finished beatmania and drummania.

DDR was great and all but I don't think it's going to hit the charts again in Japan for all I know. When I was there, I couldn't find an arcade that had DDR. The only arcade that had one had a 4th Mix Plus.

Para Para Paradise died with the Para Para fad going on with this generation.

And USA Mix and the U.S. PC Mix made me give up my hopes of DDR ever succeeding well in America.

I think it's quite obvious that Konami has no intentions of releasing another arcade version of DDR in the U.S. However, they must be turning some kind of profit on the PS(2) versions to justify releasing new mixes over here... even one on the X-Box.

I may be have a minority opinion (gee, what else is new?), but I think it's good that Konami's finally put an end to DDR. The concept's gotten old, people. Even in Max 2, I got the feeling of same ol', same ol.

Beatmania had a great run, but Konami realized they couldn't stay with it indefinitely, which is why we have IIDX. Konami would be very well served making a new dancing game with new hardware, more features, more capability, more flexibility (I'd loved to have had long songs or 6-panel mode in Extreme), etc.

It's going to take them a while, and it should. The last thing I want is a dancing game that's a disappointment (thinks back to PIU Premiere 3...shudder).

Well PIU sucks to begin with with all the crappy music and stupid stage lay out.

I used to be a big DDR fan back when I was in high school and would play 24/7. For any player I had a bit of a hard time but once you play for awhile, you start to get better.

Now I know what it feels like to be out of shape when I play this at the arcade at school and I can't handle playing this game anymore.

I think if Konami didn't realease like 20 version starting from 1999, it would still be popular.

I stopped playing around when DDR Extreme came out, I really didn't like it.

These days I only play DDR occasionally, I can still do some of it, but not some of the harder ones due to out-of-shapeness. I favor 4th Plus or 5th over any of the other ones, 5th mainly due to the extended play songs (which are purely a matter of endurance rather than skill, they're not terribly difficult).

guess I wasn't the only one then. Where did you get the idea? I honestly can't remember why I thought this.
