ITG PC spotted in Japan! (on a DDRSN2 cabinet)

This was brought to my attention a few days ago. I figured I’d share it here with all the ITG players.

EDIT – I’ve been asked to remove this sensitive video. Sorry for the confusion…

Machine Dance Communities?

After posting a comment on a forum, I thought I might bring up a much larger issue among the machine dance community.

I encourage everyone, whether you are active in 4 panel, 5 panel, Roxor, Konami or Andamiro dance game titles: Please look this over and consider giving your thoughts or opinions? Try do so without any bias towards what you do appreciate

“Communities” seem to be very different from the machine dance communities 5-8 years ago. We now live in a time where people feel the need to over analyze materials and/or recreate with possible hurtful intentions. Maybe ego related? Why now when this wasn’t as much the case then?
For example – When something new is known or released (youtube) you immediately are presented with opinions whether you want them or not. While this isn’t wrong, it seems to start off negative quickly. Much more then it use to in the past years.

While this is common today, it’s just hard to see these differences effect everyone today. The communities seemed to be different in good ways many years ago. What creates this need for such verbal emotion today?

Has it become harder for somebody to accept something for what it is rather then how they think it should be? Does a person feel the need to makes others agree with their opinions more now than previously? Maybe the internet has created this “safe-bubble” for people to be more vocal then before?

Why are people often different in person from the opinions they post about on forums?

As the future progresses for”Machine Dance” videogame titles, everyones involvement in their community key and very important. Please take just a moment to comment on your memories and/or involvement that brought you to enjoy these games and this concept for what they are. As a community, let us all come together share the potential future together!

What do you want to see change? What did you like that attracted you originally? Where do you hope that these games can take us all in the future?
Thanks!

Much to my surprise, ITG coninues to make news after the lawsuit presented by Konami Entertainment.

Here is a recent review that discusses the replay value of Konami’s latest DDR release, Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party. Have a look at the (worthplaying.com) article review HERE

Pump It Up continues to do well! the IAPPA 2007 show created a lot of buzz for both Pump It Up Pro and Pump It Up NX2. A future Pump title is now being considered and much news to come. It appears machine dance continues to be strong! 🙂
