15-JUL-07 DDR Supernova 2

It’s been a while from April to now. The location tests in Japan were ok and also people were asked what songs they would like to see in the new SuperNova. Now it’s time for people in America to have the chance to test the game now. SuperNova 2 is soon to be released in Japan. Wondering what new stuff it will bring?

The first thing you will find out is that there is a Marvelous timing all the time (not just courses). Seems like KONAMI found out that Perfects is not enough. That’s why they first changed the grading to 95000k to get AA I guess. Well, you still need this score to get AA. So you need more marvelouses this time. Also you can triple A a song if you get over 99…. points. Everyone now wonders if there is something like a AAAA.

The also came up with some other slight changes. When getting a certain combo you will see a picture of a dance character on the screen. Well, it’s something more annoying then listening to the announcer announcing you a perfect combo^_^. Actually it’s pretty nice to see on the screen when you don’t play and just watch others play (if two players play then there are two images of dance characters in the middle of the screen - in between the scrolling arrows area).

Also you will be able to see both the name of the song and its artist in gameplay (why this?).

They also removed roulette which became pretty annoying on DDR Supernova arcade. It was really a pain in the a** during some tournaments.

The sorting got better so you can again sort the same way as in Extreme (BPM, Title, Artist, Difficulty etc.) But for there is one problem, older songs from previous mixes or games are now in Extreme or SuperNova folder so it’s little bit confusing and more difficult to find the song.

I also wonder if there will be some new Max songs? But anyway I hope there will be some good and well playable songs. Supernova CS made me almost cry, I know KONAMI does not want to revive old songs (and thus pay the licence)

Also it seems that the SuperNova “bug” that the difficulty you choose changed to beginner difficulty when entering the menu is fixed. ^_~

There is a new character. She’s quite cute^_^.
