I'm not buying a pad for gc just to play this.

Best mario render yet.
I'm getting this. I'm a sap for fun peripheral games. Bongos and stupid footy floor pad things (this one's crap actually)... next up: EyeToy and this.
The minigames looked good, what little I've seen of them. Hammer Bros? Long time no see.

My penis is still intact.
I hope the soundtrack's of the same quality as Konga.
You know, so I can save the money for other games.

It had some remixed Mario tunes from what I saw. And a load of other shit I didn't really recognise. Still, it's DDR, it's fun.

They changed the pad! Didn't it originally have a silhouette of Mario and Luigi on it, with "Here We Go!"? (I think different B and A labels, as well.)
Always bugs me how the DDR pads don't have extra sensors for the other two unused spots. Would allow for more future expansion and use.

Is this pad made by Nintendo? I am noticing the lack of Konami logos.

here's the old pad
Another topic of discussion (from IGN) ...
Why the hell? Why not put in some high degrees of difficulty... do they realize how many DDR fans are going to pick this up? I can see why there would need to be easier difficulties for the "target market", but why not program difficult steps for us hardcore?
Did anyone here play the game at E3, and did you try to pick a really hard difficulty?

That box is for just the mat by itself. I'm sure there's a different box for the game plus mat, and for the game only.

I love me some Donkey Konga.. but I seriously can't get into DDR. I've got Ultramix 1/2, and not even the easiest songs are remotely playable for me. I just get twisted up and can't make anything connect.
Those warnings across 2/9ths of the pad are pretty horrible too.

Ah, thanks. Hm... The new pad is more "teh matoore," but I kind of liked the old silhouettes and the cheesy "Here We Go!"... the silhouette on the new pad looks like a ducking kick render made all the way back for Mario 64 that Nintendo repeatedly used in a lot of promotional materials...
As for difficulty, on the left side of this Jeux-France DDR Mario Mix video, the fellow playing Mario seems to be playing Very Hard, and that's a fair amount of arrows...

LOL no that is not a fair amount of arrows to those who actually play DDR. Looks like this game is for beginners only.
I'm not going to watch the video, too lazy. But DDR got quite a bit less fun, particularly the new songs, around the time of DDRMAX. All the obnoxious dark trance-y techno and all the songs with buckets of arrows... challenging? Sure. Fun? Not so much. At least older hard songs had fun steps. There were tons of "Catastrophic" songs I'd play for fun (THAT'S RIGHT "MY SUMMER LOVE," I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU!), and whatever. Now it's just endurance and less fun steps.segatavis said:
That being said, I miss playing quite a bit. I should get a metal pad...

IIRC they had Easy, Normal, Hard and Very Hard settings for each song, at least they did at the Nintendo UK Post-E3 show last Monday.
Hard and Very Hard did pose quite difficult, but I've never really been much of a DDR'er and it was quite embarassing. :lol

Most avid DDR players already knew about the difficulty being pretty simple, you can tell from the screens Nintendo has released. As a DDR player, I'm glad this exists so more people get into the series. DDR is one of those games that just isn't fun on the lower levels after you've been playing for awhile. Playing on Light Mode is boring as hell when you can do Heavy Mode.
Like that Very Hard mode video from Jeux France would be like a 6 or 7 on the medium setting for the regular DDR games. If that's as far as it can go, then I'm going to have to pass. But I might pick it up as a gift for people I'm trying to get into DDR. I've been able to convince three friends to play already, and they became addicted within a few songs. Hopefully I can do it for more people with Mario Mix. People always love DDR, you just got to get them on the stage. Everyone is worried about not being good at it, but nobody started out doing those hard songs. Get up there and dance, fool!
I'll agree that after a certain point DDR become more about endurance than anything. I can read pretty much any song, but that doesn't mean I can do it, physical endurance is the only thing holding me back at this point. Which is kinda sad since I ran track in high school...
