Dance Dance Revolution Spawns TV Show

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dick-clark-it-ain't dept.

lfescalante writes to mention a unique synergistic melding of television and gaming: A Dance Dance Revolution TV show. From the article: "Dance Revolution, said all parties involved, is a live-action television series based on Konami's extremely popular video game franchise Dance Dance Revolution. Notes published by DIC and Konami describe this series as one in which 'tweens' and teens bring their freshest moves to this sensational new dance competition where teams of dancers display their innovative routines."

  1. How about audience participation? by Metaphorically · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The audience can watch and jump around too, that's a nice first step. The really cool part would be to get some feedback (via Eyetoy and an internet connection). Then the viewers can judge player's performances or the judges on the show could judge players at home... or something like that. The technology's all there, just waiting for the ideas to catch up.

  2. 10K Commotion by Fex303 · · Score: 3, Interesting
    While a lot of people (myself included) think that this will have no storyline and be essentially a giant ad for merchandise, there a webcomic series based on DDR which is actually pretty good: The 10K Commotion


    Even if you don't like DDR (like me) I suggest checking it out briefly, if only for the distinctive artwork.


    PS. I am not affiliated with the comic, DDR, or the secret service. Especially not DDR.
