But don’t worry, Konami hasn’t forgotten its roots with the DDR franchise so it’s almost time to grab your Wii Remote and dust off your dance pad. Dance Dance Revolution 2, the next entry to the music genre from Konami, is set to debut on October 11th.
To whet your appetitie for exercise music, Konami released a partial song list dominated by pop music that transcends decades, ranging from girl groups from the 90s to singles from this past year. DDR2 is graced by the Biebs with flying rainbow arrows put to the beat of “Somebody To Love” and “Baby” featuring Ludacris.
Other notable songs from this compilation of masterpieces include “Beautiful Monster” by Ne-Yo and “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars. You can check out the partial Dance Dance Revolution 2 song list below and observe the unique variety for yourself:
More Than Alive, The Ready Set Whip My Hair, Willow A Year Without Rain, Selena Gomez & The Scene Only Girl (In The World), Rihanna This Time I Know It’s For Real, Donna Summer Somebody To Love, Justin Bieber Baby ft. Ludacris, Justin Bieber Just The Way You Are, Bruno Mars Nothin’ On You (feat. Bruno Mars), B. o. B. Can’t Be Tamed, Miley Cyrus Don’t You Want Me, The Human League Just A Dream, Nelly Beautiful Monster, Ne-Yo Spice Up Your Life, Spice Girls IN MY HEAD, Jason Derülo Candy Girl, New Edition Don’t Go, Yaz Strip Me, Natasha Bedingfield Rocket, Goldfrapp Still Unbreakable, Des-ROW Ft. Vanilla Ice Say a Prayer, Des-ROW with Maxi Priest
Konami really went all out to pull together a song list with a ton of popular artists - with Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, Spice Girls, and Vanilla Ice this is going to be quite the creative mash-up of North American stars. There is definitely not representation from any J-Pop Dance Dance Revolution songs that old school players would recognize. The music genre has definitely changed since the days when Dance Dance Revolution was first released but at least DDR still doesn’t require any new peripherals.
What do you think of the Dance Dance Revolution 2 song list so far? Is there enough Justin Bieber? Let us know in the comments.
