From the makers of Dance Dance Revolution comes an actual dance game for the XBOX 360 which will use the new Kinect (formerly Project Natal) device. It's mostly matching the poses that the dancers do, but the higher difficulty levels want you to replicate the actual dance movements from the hands to the choreography. I think this is the evolution that the Dance Dance Revolution franchise really needs.

As posted on bemanistyle, this sounds alot like paraparaparadise, but I like xbox and I love the possible uses for natal and believe that this is something brilliant that it could be used for to really get people into dance gaming.
since this IS REAL DANCING now.
Admittedly it's not our seizure-iffic Maxxed out dancing that we're used to, but it still looks pretty legendary.

Yeah, I'd say we all knew it was inevitable (about 2:15 in)

EDIT: oh you did link to it, my bad.

Seriously though are we really that surprised? I can imagine how the meeting went:

NAOKI: So I'm working on this new motion-controlled dancing game for Natal*. But I still need to finalize the songlist, any ideas?
Random Grunt: Say, didn't we have a game that had songs each with their own choreographed routines?
NAOKI: .... you're a genius!

... or not.

(Obviously it was still Natal when this was in early development)
