Talk:Dance Dance Revolution X

Well now that we KNOW it's going to be AC
Think we should split off the North American version info into a new article and make this exclusively about the arcade version? ViperSnake151 19:04, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No. According to the press release the arcade and console releases are suppose to be exactly the same this time. Therefore one article should suffice. Trying to get a link to the press release right now, so unless this claim straight from Konami turns out to be false there should only be one article. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 21:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * At the very least, the songlists need to be different. People are already getting confused by the current songlist, because they think songs like bag and The Legend of Max are going to be in the console version, and that Butterfly and Dub-I-Dub are in the Arcade version. I don't really think adding in all the songs from previous versions in the Arcade songlist will be necessary. We have no indications that any old songs have been removed.


 * Also, what are you reading in the press release that infers that the Arcade and console releases are going to be exactly the same? I mean, would Konami really release the equivalent of the AC game on a PS2 game that is due out months before the AC version even comes out? --piepiepie75 18:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC).
 * Segmented the information in the article. There's still nothing that says there will in fact be notable differences between releases but at least its harder to get confused reading the paragraphs now. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 05:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, since we know its nothing like the AC version, Dance Dance Revolution X (North America) plz? ViperSnake151 15:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I am personally not aware of any significant differences...there's little to go on, seeing as the arcade version is not even out yet. And looking at the tenative AC songlist, except for the X-edit songs and the Xmix songs (which could actually end up in the AC version for all we know...though the Xmix songs seem a little long to be in AC), all of the default songlist of the US version is present in the AC version. I do not think an article split is warranted. --Thunderbird8 (talk) 03:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Shock Arrows
The text (in Japanese) from the am.net website's post regarding Dance Dance Revolution X:

新シーケンス「ショックアロー」を導入 フットパネルを踏んではいけない新しいギミックにより

Translation taken from Zenius-I-Vanisher:

New sequence "shock arrow" is included. This is a new gimmick where you cannot step on the foot panel.

This is posted here to prevent further confusion on what a Shock Arrow is and whether or not the information is factual. I also re-wrote the parts of the article talking about Shock Arrows to make it clearer as to what is currently known about them. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 05:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject videogames assessment
Upgraded to C class, the fact that the game isn't released seems to be the only reason the article has gaps in areas such as reception, IE it's not a B class article yet only because the information to expand it does is not yet produced. The article is obviously in good hands and offering suggestions etc. seems unnecessary, please resubmit the article when the reception info etc. has been made available and included, good work.

 * Thank you, luckily other people are helping out and once this games starts getting released we should have a wealth of information and resources to work with. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Release dates
pie, do you know which sources indicate the Winter release of the arcade game? --AeronPrometheus (talk) 01:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Split soundtracks
Well if Guitar Hero can have separate articles for their setlists, why can't DDR? ViperSnake151 03:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Guitar Hero songs are more established and notable to the general population than most DDR songs. If you look at the featured GH soundtrack articles they include a lot of information outside of a simple table list of song names and artists. This is a lot harder to do with DDR soundtracks, outside of the licensed tracks there's not a lot of history behind the music or any kind of theme to the music on a specific DDR game like there is on a Guitar Hero game. List of songs on Dance Dance Revolution X is not necessary when the list can be nestled in the main article. Why make people look in another article just for a glorified table? æron phone home  11:16, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You gotta think about article length too, it is a pretty huge table too. ViperSnake151 12:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * As it stands it's 25k plus 30k, 55k total. That doesn't seem big enough to break the style convention of all the Dance Dance Revolution series articles just for Dance Dance Revolution X. If it's done right, the article would expand maybe only another 10k to flesh out information on the Dance Dance Revolution X games that are out now. As other games under this name get released I can see the home versions being split off into a second article. So far all the DDR X games are too similar to be needing individual articles but the songs themselves being split away from the game article doesn't work for DDR. This is something that was done in 2004 and again in 2007 and the general consensus was to either delete the lists or keep the songs with their games. æron phone home  13:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Splitting songlists?
I feel that the songlists need to be moved to their own page. Hookyboysb (talk) 21:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Now it is. æron  phone  home   04:58, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

New arcade images
I recently went to GameWorks in Seattle and got pictures of the new DDR X Arcade machine. These may be useful in the article. –CG 23:22, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the removals. Why does this article even have no picture of the cabinet anyway? ViperSnake151   Talk  18:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * These images do not meet basic quality standards, that is why they were not included in the article. If you are near a machine please takes some good pictures of it. æron  phone  home   03:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
