ParaPara meets Xbox 360!

[cheeseman]

So, apparently Konami just announced this new game called Dance Masters for the Xbox 360 with Kinect and so far it looks well, quite awesome.

For the Eurobeats - jump to 2:10
I really hope there's going to more PP goodness in there (though even THAT is quite awesome for a US release).

Cool, that does look pretty awesome Curious to see how that develops and if there will ever be a UK mix that won't be just watered down pop

[SuperEuroJimmy]

It's been said that the tracklist is the same worldwide. :x

*Imagines every Western Citizen skipping over Night Of Fire for being rubbish*

Nah, they'll just skip over the whole game since it's going to be this single license and then a whole bunch of Konami Originals.

Shame, as I could see this being a big hit with effective marketing and an appropriate songlist to appeal to the masses and die-hard bemani fans. Sadly the franchise as a whole just never seems to get the same level of promotion anymore

this is awesome...our local ParaPara Machine has been sold so i cant play anymore this will have to cure the fix....and the i just bought a Pump it Up Machine!!

do we know for sure that night of fire will be the only Para Para song??

if anything this could really relaunch Para Para into another boom....maybe!!

A partial song list was inadvertently revealed at a club night for this game hosted by Konami in Japan recently. Below is the song list that could be seen (I'm including links to vids for them so that people can check them out - most are original Konami tracks from DDR, but there are a couple that could have official parapara routines like Night of Fire...)

Credit for this list goes to Bemanistyle.com - and let me reiterate this is in no way finalised...

CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE -super euro version- (pretty sure this has a parapara routine, but can't find any vids on YouTube...)

I'm also sure you will have the song by Naoki called Dance Masters since he performed that at the club night at it features on this promo vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp9FDjnqrSc

I'm hoping that this game might encourage a new revolution in parapara style dancing throughout Japan - it's certainly got a buzz surrounding it in internet forums!

Here are the Para Para videos from the game. They used the Para Para Paradise edits for the songs that were on there.

I've taught myself the Can't Stop Fallin' In Love -super euro version- routine, and I can't wait to actually get my Kinect to try it out in the actual game. Annoyingly, I ordered both the game and Kinect at the same time from the same website, but while the game was delivered in 2 days, my Kinect is delayed until at 16th December
