Dancy Dancy Revolution

Well, DDR has been out for a long while and it's been on TV on multiple occasions. It's been on the Other Half with those 4 guys trying to figure it out. It was on an episode of Even Stevens (They were pretending to play it. A sad day for the DDR world). Plus on Nickelodeon they had some U pick live thingy where these mascots tried their best to play it. Once again, shameful. Not to mention on the Travel Channel. But the one thing that sticks in my mind is the one Sketchers commercial where the guy was in the arcade and busting some smooth moves on the machine. Wearing his glasses, not looking at the screen, it made you think:
"Hey! If I got those shoes I'd be one *****ing DDR dancer!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah...Okay, my question is, does anyone know if that song he was dancing to is a real DDR song? If so, what song is it? Cause I don't think that was a DDR song was it?

I don't remember, but I'm going to have to say no. Putting in an actual DDR song would mean additional royalties and most companies would avoid that by overlapping generic music into the program.
By the way, has anybody checked into this ABCFamily Dance Fever Dance Machine thing?

[DiGiCharat]

Good point. ABC family dance fever machine? I heard of the show but not of an actual machine...
Send out the hounds! Got to find out what this is!

[DiGiCharat]

HAHA! FOund out some info!

Must be a DDR machine retro fitted for their needs. Disney has the rights to some DDR right? They have that disney rave thing going on...so they must have made their own machines. Disney owns ABC and all.

[nestlekwik]

True, but Disney does not own Konami of Japan. Those machines are supposed be sold only in Japan. Currently, the only 100% legal machine that could be used in America is the DDR USA cabinet. That was the big hold-up for the "big" Good Morning America exhibition; they were having troubles finding a decent USA machine, since KOA no longer has an arcade division.

So...it looks like the big question is, what machines are being used there. Could it be DDR USA?

From the ABC site."Whether you're a dance machine master or a newbie" Dance Machine Master? Jesus christ ABC, learn some proper vocab. before you say that ****.

My friend DeshRendar went to the location in Cleveland and she said it totally sucked ass. First of all Hammer didn't even show up like he was supposed to. Second, the dance machine was a DDR 4th Solo and the entire competition was held on Basic; and the players didn't even get to pick the songs during competition. She left somewhere around half-way through the event.

lmfao, what a bunch of losers. But then again, hey, it's the channel that can't be supported unless Mary Kate and Ashley is on for horny 5 year olds to watch.

heh-heh...right...Well, DDR 4th mix is alright, but that kind of sucks that you couldn't pick the difficulty or the song. What kind of competition is that? Oh, and I went to Universal Studios and tried DDR USA (my lil cousins wanted to play) That machine shouldn't even have the title DDR. It was crap. I can't believe that's the only legal machine in the U.S.

Well, on a good note, one of my friends won the Detroit competition for Dance Fever and a few of my friends have placed second around the state.
