DDR Classic Edition

So I'm here at work listening to some classic DDR music (B4U, Boys, Dub-I-Dub, etc) and I was just thinking how awesome it would be if Konami released a version of their game with all the DDR classics. I'd imagine it to have the newer graphics and mods that're available on the recent generation games, but I was thinking how cool it'd be to have the songlist consist of completely pre-6th mix songs. Then, to make it even sweeter, they could offer new remixed versions of some of those old songs.

Sigh, that would be awesome.

You better be prepared to play those songs on x1 and not AA unless you FC.

Also, no Max for you. You will have to settle with Drop Out if you want some speed on your arrows.

1x FC-only AAs are hardcore. <3 5th mix.

I used to make more challenging stepcharts for these classic games.

I did Colors (not a classic)
Do It All Night
Cat's Eye

Fun stuff.

The biggest barrier to that is probably nothing technical.

But rather, licencing agreements.

I love how DDR Best-Hits just makes this dream even more impossible. They did a recompilation of the classics when DDR was burn, burn, burn the wood, burn-ing.

Licensing is probably the main culprit, aye.

Oh god... DDR is almost 11 years old.

Has it really been that long?

I just have to say that I think a "Classic Mix" would be a pretty fantastic idea..

Wonderland - Extended Version.

If anybody does it, by all means include this.

The have these neat things called "PSOnes" now, that along with a PS-X-Change, can make that sort of thing happen.

A couple other things you might look up:

M.A.M.E. (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator; now supports DDR through 5th Mix, and Solo)

DDR Party Collection (Japan PS2)

DDR EXTREME and EXTREME 2 (USA PS2)

DDR ULTRAMIX 2 and 3 (USA X-Box) <-Surprisingly old-school!

You know what song I would love to see again? Shock, from Goofy. It was the very first song that showed up on 3rd Mix Korean Ver. 2.

I freakin' loved that song, but I haven't heard it in years, I can't find it anywhere on the internet.
