General Sonic is Terrible Thread

Actual DDR games are fucking hellish haha. (Good song choice sometimes doe)

They aren't terribly bad, but probably the best workout out of any of the games, which makes it really tiring to play. If you like some of the song choices, you might like the music from IIDX and Pop'n Better.

I don't know if Nintendo would ask that Konami make their rhythm games any less difficult... Mario DDR was simpler because it was also being a Mario game, but if you have a franchise that is built on being difficult, I don't think they would change that. Some of the Fire Emblem games are absolutely brutal.

Kosheh covered this perfectly

I'm going to disagree with you about Konami.

Arcade Music Games is keeping them afloat

Really? Where's the local arcade where I can play the new DDR?

Oh wait that's right it's like 2 hours away and there's only like 300 arcades left in the US. Are you talking about what's keeping them afloat as a company in Japan? Because there really isn't much besides their console games keeping them a relevant name nowadays. :/

lol since when was the last time Konami Released officially an Arcade version of DDR in America. (Answer: X2 was the last one at the end of 2010)

But seriously, in Japan their following of fans for the Bemani games is doing more then enough to keep them afloat for now, maybe not forever, but for now yes. I'm hoping that they step it up soon with actual console games, but Bemani is fine too. Also I think you vastly underestimate how popular arcade games are there compared to their console games :0)
