«©NCSX» Konami released the North American version of Dance Dance Revolution X a couple of months ago but the Japanese get to enjoy the game as well this week. New to the series is the multi-player LAN Battle Mode (Party Mode) where four Playstation 2 consoles may be linked up via network cable so that eight players can dance simultaneously. The "Street Master Mode" features the background stories of 14 characters who compete against challengers in order to move their stories along. Konami also introduces "Shock Arrows" in DDRX which are directional cues that must be avoided.
The Japanese version of DDRX contains over 60 songs including Bemani classics such as "Butterfly" from SMILE.dk and "Dub I Dub" by Me & My. Flipping through the track list this morning, we see that SMILE.dk is represented thrice - in addition to "Butterfly [2008 X-edit]," Konami has also included "Boys [2008 X-edit]" and "Koko Soko [2008 X-edit]." The Pet Shop Boys' "Always on My Mind" makes the cut and if you play the song in the standard Game Mode, you can watch about 1/2 of the original video that aired on MTV over a decade ago. Other notable tracks: Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" as covered by Purefocus and "Trickster" by Nana Mizuki.
