Adding controller motions sounds too complex for me personally, but I'm guessing there are many DDR pros that might like the extra challenge.
And the actions you can perform with the Wii Remote and/or Nunchuk could be more exciting than a similar game on a competing console with inferior motion controls *coughSixaxiscough*.
This could be the hottest party (at least, involving dance pads and clothes), indeed.

As for the classic Battle Mode gameplay, Konami has a few new ideas to go with the Wii controller as well, allowing players to gesture with the Wii remote to taunt, add possible improvisation to the steps, or actually send more arrows over to other competitors by gesturing in a throwing motion.
*Grins a grin of Grinch-like proportions*

Boo for wired Dance Pads.
Also I hope there is a classic controller mode because I am a Controller Ranger on the game. I like playing DDR a lot more with my Gamepad then my Dance pads.

Has 4 player DDR ever been done before?
Now if only we can get Capcom to wake the f*ck up we'd be all set.

It's causing my view to stretch big time.

I actually thought Mario DDR was an ideal crossover but I think it is a better sign that Konami feels they can sell a DDR for the Wii without putting Nintendo characters in it.

Wait a sec... mats.... could we get a track and field game on the Wii now?!?!?!?

QuoteDo you have the DDR for the GBC? I think that was only a Japanese release. Did that come with a dance pad? o_0

They probably used the basic engines from DDR Mario Mix, like TP uses WW's engine, and tweaked and changed the assets some. That could be done within a month. Also since I think they use Ogg Vorbis for the music encoding for that version instead of what they normally use it sort of makes since to just go ahead and make new songs because its more work to get them over anyway. Plus they can go into your other versions later. In fact the music quality on DDR:Mario Mix and Karaoke Revolution isn't bad at all. Less space taken = more songs I'm all for it.

Looks more like Xbox engine to me

Simply put, the Miis are not next gen enough. They are too graphically simple and don't evoke the power of the generic DDR dancers. :p .
The Mii option would be cool. Not only would you be able to select your Mii, they should make it so that random Miis that are on your channel or on your Mii parade appear as the back up dancers.
Now that would be awesome to see.

Why not have your Mii dancing with a group of your friend's Miis in the background?

I don't know about you, but I think the Mii channel is one of those features that Nintendo will heavily use while third parties will ignore it, unless Nintendo orders them to use it otherwise.
Also, Konami is notoriously lazy when it comes to making DDR games, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons they don't add Mii support is because they don't want to create a dancing animation that works with all the Miis you have on your machine.
I know Wario uses them and the Wii uses them to the fullest, but developers can be lazy like that.
