Geared
toward the pre-teen set, to get 'em dancing early, Ohasta Dance Dance Revolution mixes a youth oriented
collection of songs with the familiar DDR gameplay. Music selections include Happy Go
Lucky, Candy, Cutie Chaser Morning Mix and other gems.
Somber, crisp visuals accompany Dino Crisis 2 and Capcom's svelte heroine Regina. The
timeline of the sequel takes place one year after the original Crisis. |

In the Love
Hina manga, boy meets girl early in their lives. Time passes and destiny presupposes that
these two will meet again and be together. Love Hina takes place in a scholastic setting
and the focal point is a girl's dorm. As such, there are many girls that may tempt fate
and deter the path of destiny.
Applied to a game setting, Love Hina plays similarly to a standard dating
game. The characters from the manga and animation add an extra touch of familiarity for
fans of the series. The Gameboy
version features standard interaction scenes as well as movement phases and mini action
sequences to engage in. |

Dance Revolution Controllers |
DDR Fourth Mix |
NCS
restocked the Dreamcast dancing controller this morning at US$75 and we
have also taken delivery of the new DDR Deluxe controller for Playstation which combines a
Konami dancing pad and a manner cushion in one unit. The carton for this thing is bigger
than the box for PS2 Drum Mania we'll have to ship them in custom built boxes. Pricing is
set at US$135 per unit and NCS would recommend only using UPS Ground for
delivery.
Konami recently announced a professional arcade style dancing controller
priced at approximately US$2000. The offer is available through the
company's website at konamistyle.com. We asked a vendor to order two units for us and it
appears Konami will gather pre-order quantities and produce it later this year. |
Konami's fourth Dance Dance Revolution
game adds a diagonal element to the dancing with six directions to step into. The two new
arrows are northeast and northwest, which join the four usual compass points. Should the
new revision ever make it to the home, we'll have a whole new set of dancing controllers
to contend with. |
