Is There a Zumba WII Game?

Zumba for WII

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything original on this blog, I figured out it’s time to get back to work. Working out that is. While I have been riding my exercise bike religiously while working on the computer, sometimes I need just a little bit more to stay motivated. Even though this blog is titled Dance Dance Revolutions, I did state when I originally started it that I would also cover other exergaming topics as well. This is the first of many more to come.

Lately, I have been very intrigued about the entire Zumba craze that has been hitting the nation. My friend is an instructor, but she’s an hour a way and right now I don’t have a lot of disposable income to join a gym or attend a class every other week. That’s what got me thinking: Is there a Zumba WII Game? I went over to Amazon and searched for one and there it was. Don’t tell the hubby, but I’m going to dig into our TV fund over at Amazon from money I’ve earned from Swagbucks and pick it up right now.

Since I’m over there looking at it, I might as well cover what some of the other reviews are saying here. Then I don’t need to bother in the review I’ll write later.

Zumba for the WII – What looks good

The energy point is really motivating. The better you do and the more you keep up, the better your energy point is. Unlike working out with just a plain old Zumba DVD.
It’s fun and it gets you moving.

Zumba for the WII – What doesn’t look good

If you don’t have any Zumba or dance experience, it may be a little difficult to pick up with the game. It seems like those with the most complaints have never been to a Zumba class.
In order to move up to the Zumba Party, you have to get points. It seems like the points are based upon how much you move and not how accurate you are. This could be real disappointing if you’re ultimate goal is to be as accurate as possible.
The graphics aren’t great, but it’s an exercise game not an RPG, who really cares about the graphics.

Feel free to read more WII Zumba Reviews from Amazon and review this game yourself here if you’ve tried it. Meanwhile, I’m off to go and make a purchase for myself. I figure, worst case scenario I can always sell it and pick up my next game to review with the proceeds.

PS2 Metal Pad For Dance Dance Revolution – Why You Ought To Buy One

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:57:37 +0000

Okay, it’s time to bust out the PS2 metal pad and get moving with DDR!

So you’ve played Dance Dance Revolution at your local video arcade, and now you want to bring the excitement of the game at home with you to play on your Sony PS2. Metal dance pads are the way to go, and are an absolute must for two very simple reasons:

1.You want to be very accurate with how well your dance moves are registered on the mat.

Easy going game players may discover that the soft pack in pad is sufficient enough for regular game play. The dance mat is sensitive and accurate enough to read your every dance move. And your dance pad ought to last you an extremely long time. Whereas, if you are a hardcore gamer who dances hard and dances very often, you could find yourself wearing out the mat a lot faster. Eventually, it is highly suggested that you consider replacing your worn out mat with a PS2 metal pad instead. They are a lot more durable, will be able to take a beating better, and will, without doubt, last you much more time than the soft mat.

2. An additional concern is the ability of the pad to balance on a carpeted floor, which effects the accuracy of your dance moves.

If you play with the soft pad on a carpeted floor, your dance moves may not register properly, because the pad is unable to lay flat against a level floor, so it’s possible that as you step across the mat, you might inadvertently displace the mat, without even realizing it. Due to the game mat’s sensitivity, even a minor variance in it’s ability to remain level and flat against the floor can screw with your rhythm, and hence your game play . There may constantly be some subtle movement. But, guess what? If you use a PS2 metal pad instead, you will be able to avoid this problem altogether.

Now, unfortunately, these PS2 metal mats don’t exactly come cheap. But look at it this way: PS2 metal pads may be pricier up front, and may seem unnecessary, since the soft pad apparently does the job just fine. But believe me, you’ll be saving money in the long run, since you won’t be wearing out the metal pad every few months, the way you might with the soft pads.

We’ve listed some great deals on PS2 metal mats from eBay below.

DDR Dance Mat Shopping Tips and Advice

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:14:10 +0000

Choosing the right DDR dance mat for you is important. You want to not only enjoy the game, but increase your skill level as well. For me, these two things go hand in hand. If I’m not somewhat successful at a video game from the start, I won’t go back to playing it because nothing is more frustrating than having to play the same level over and over again. If I get to this point, I might as well just sell the game on eBay or it will collect dust in the closet. If you are just starting out, I do not recommend dropping hundreds of dollars on a DDR dance mat just to find out you hate playing. Go ahead and use the cheap plastic mat that comes with the game, you can always upgrade at a later date.

As I said earlier, the plastic DDR dance mats are cheap, but you don’t want to drop your hard earned money on something you won’t use. Take your game home and try things out first. If you really like playing your dance game, then start looking into some better options. The cheap plastic mats can be hard on your feet and may slide around while you are playing which may cause you to become frustrated when you can’t pass the level you’ve been trying to beat for 3 days. If you are at this point, then upgrading your DDR mat is definitely in your future.

Before you buy a DDR dance mat, the main thing you need to know is how often you plan to use your pad. Just make a mental note about how often you plan to use your dance mat or how often you have already used the plastic mat that came with your game. If you are going to use it daily, you will definitely want to splurge and move towards the metal mats. These mats last longer and don’t move around as much.

Don’t be afraid to buy more than one DDR dance mat at a time. You never know when another family member may want to join in the fun when they see how much weight you are losing while having fun too. With an extra mat laying around, you can have competitions against others and you will always have a spare just in case you wear your first mat out.

It’s important to make sure the dance mat model you are looking at is designed for your system. There is nothing more disappointing than getting home with your new toy and then realizing that your purchase will not work with what you already own. Returning video game items is difficult sometimes, so doing the research up front is important. If you are unsure about the compatibility, be sure to read the side of the box at the store or ask a store clerk. When buying online, the retailer should state the systems for which a mat is compatible. If they don’t state it in the description, email the online retailer or move on to the next item or store. You don’t want to hassle around with returning an online purchase when the mistake could have been avoided.

Storage of your DDR dance mat is also important. Make sure it is stored at room temperature in a dry environment. This will keep the internal components from damage due to over exposure to extreme temperatures. Once you have your mat out of the box, avoid folding it back up. Folding your mat could cause the arrows to shift which would keep you from hitting the notes you have hit in the past. If you do choose to fold your mat, be aware of this next time you get it out to play and shift the arrows back into place before using it again. You will avoid a lot of frustrations and cursing at the TV (at least if you are like me).

If you are just starting out in the Dance Dance Revolution (and other similar games) world, I hope this article about the DDR dance mat is of some help to you. If you are ready to buy, I have listed some metal mats that are available on eBay to help you get started shopping.

TV DDR Pads

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:26:14 +0000

In the past I have talked about how DDR is so great for your health because it gets you up and off the couch and moving. However, I do understand that if you do not own a video game system then getting involved with dance dance revolutions can be a little cost prohibitive, but do not worry, there is hope for you as well.

TV DDR pads are games that hook up directly to your TV without any video game system needed. Not only do they allow you a low priced entry into the world of dancing games, but they are also great for kids; you don’t have to worry about them ruining an expensive piece of equipment.

When you are purchasing a Plug N Play DDR game, make sure that you don’t get your expectations too high. Typically, these games don’t have the high graphics quality and options that are available with games for the standard gaming systems. If this is alright with you, then you will not be disappointed when you get your purchase home and unpacked. Also, some of the TV DDR games do not have lyrics either which can become very irritating to some people as well.

If you are thinking about getting into the dance dance revolution games, but do not want to put out a lot of money, then a TV DDR pad may be right for you to test the waters with. Money is tight with everyone these days and I would rather test the waters with a $25 purchase which may sit around and collect dust than a $300 paper weight which may sit around and collect dust.

I have listed some TV DDR Pads from eBay below if you are interested in trying one out. Feel free to come back and review it in the comments (don’t worry if it’s good or bad).

Until later,
B

Michael Jackson The Experience for Nintendo WII

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:37:10 +0000

If you or someone on your gift list is a Michael Jackson fan and a DDR fan, then this game will be just right for you. We’ll get into the dirty details of this game in just a little bit.

Not only will this game be released for the Nintendo WII, it is also available in versions for the Playstation 3, XBOX 360, Nintendo DS, and Sony PSP. You can find all of these at Amazon.com.

Michael Jackson the Experience game features:

Gameplay

The game features full 4-player support requiring only a Wii Remote for each player. Your Wii registers the movements of each Wii Remote as players follow a series of small on-screen silhouetted prompts, or those of the King himself as they work through authentic choreography from both famous Michael Jackson live and music video performances. Individual player performances are rated in real-time on-screen and lyrics are streamed as you play for full effect and aid of your timing. The game features a variety of modes including single player, a challenge mode featuring 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 support and a practice mode in which anybody can learn to groove like the King of Pop.

Soft Dance Revolution Pads – You Get What You Pay For

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:59:36 +0000

The soft Dance Revolution Pads are the controllers that typically come with a DDR game right out of the box. They are covered in slippery plastic and look like the mat pictured to the left here.

If you are a casual player, the soft pack in pad is going to be right for your use, but if you wear your first pad out, I would highly recommend investing in a better hard mat made for your system.

To make your dance revolution pad last longer and avoid slippage while on carpeting, I would recommend attaching your mat to a piece of plywood or hard metal. Worst case scenario, use your dance pad with a piece of cardboard underneath it to help keep your pad from slipping.

You may be tempted to fold up your pad for storage, but this is not recommended. When the pad is folded the arrows will move around and out of place. When you unfold the mat you will then have to readjust the arrows to get them back in place before using the mat. Instead, find a place where you can hang your mat in a closet or on a wall out of the way. This way you are not losing precious gaming time messing around with your mat before playing DDR.

Another problem that occurs with soft Dance Revolution pads is they tend to miss some of your steps which could cause you to become frustrated. This is an extremely common problem when you are playing on carpet or a soft surface. Using my board suggestion above could help with some of these problems, but once again, if you are planning on becoming a hardcore DDR player, invest in a more durable mat.

Soft Dance Revolution pads may seem like a good idea at the time, but as you can see you may be better off investing in a hard DDR mat to keep your sanity. A hard mat may cost more up front, but in the long run you will save yourself money because you won’t be replacing a cheap mat every other month. Of course, if you are unsure as to whether you are going to like DDR, then definitely go with the soft mat to start.

I have listed some soft dance revolution pads below to get you started on your Dance Dance Revolutions game. I really hope you enjoy as much as I do. At that point you can upgrade to a metal mat.

Until later,

Dance Dance Mario Mix Revolution For Nintendo Gamecube

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 10:45:34 +0000

The Dance Dance Mario Mix Revolution game is one of the few of its type for the Game Cube. The mat for this game is more responsive than the Mad Catz’s mat (previously the only version available for the Cube).

The Dance Dance Mario Mix Revolution mat is not only more responsive, but it is filled with vertical grooves which feel good on bare feet. It also has a sticky backing on the bottom to help keep the mat from slipping around. There is a silhouette of a break-dancing Mario in the center of this mat; making it a cool collectible for Mario lovers.

The game itself is based on the Dance Dance Revolution games that have become so popular. There are a couple major differences however. The Mario game still requires you to get up and hop around on the mat to play the game, and it does have music that you play to. That’s about it for likeness though.

The DDR games require some fast footwork for some of their songs, and you get graded on performance. You won’t see that in the Mario game. There are no grades, and even on the hardest level the steps aren’t too fast. You will hear the music on Mario, but on the screen you will see the awesome graphics for the storyline of Mario. In the Mario you are actually playing the game instead of just dancing to the arrows flashing on the screen in Dance Dance Revolution.

Because of the slower pace, and the storyline, this game would be perfect for some of the younger players. They will still get the exercise, but they will really enjoy the game. There are multiple levels to conquer, and bad guys to stomp on, as well as mushrooms to chase. There isn’t any grading to discourage the younger players either on the Dance Dance Mario Mix Revolution game.

Because of the easy levels, and the easy footwork involved in this game it wouldn’t be suitable for hard core Dance Dance Revolution fans. They could easily get bored with the simple steps, but then again they might enjoy the storyline too. If they happen to be a Mario fan then that could very well be true. Basically, this game is well suited for younger kids that don’t want to fail in the DDR games, but want to play by using the mats like the older kids do.

If you are really interested in finding this rare game, you are going to have to work at it. I have found that eBay and Amazon are the easiest places to find it. If you click on the picture above, you will be taken to the Amazon listing and below I have listed some of the Mario Mix games available on eBay.

DDR Konamix for Sony Playstation

Dance Dance Revolutions Fan — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:15:53 +0000

Dance Dance Revolution Konamix, or otherwise known as DDR Konamix, is the 3rd version of Dance Dance Revolution to be released for the Playstation in the US. It is named Konamix because all of the songs are Konami originals. Most of the songs on this game are from the second, third, fourth and fifth versions of the Japanese DDR games; the rest of them are club mixes of other original DDR songs with a few songs original to the North American game. There are a total of 52 songs available, but only 32 are ready to play from the start. The other 20 songs must be unlocked through game play.

Most US releases of a games have a Japanese equivalent, and DDR Konamix is no exception, its sister game is Dance Dance Revolution 4th mix. For the most part, the only change between the release in Japan and North America are a few songs that are exclusive for the US. Features not available in previous games include the use of corner buttons, tempo changes, and the most obvious being the music.

When DDR Konamix was originally released, it did not receive a lot of favorable reviews because there were not a lot of changes made to the series from DDR Disney Mix to this one. While the songs were all original to Konami, not having songs that are popular in the mainstream hurt the game in the reviews as well. However, if you are a plain old Dance Dance Revolution fan and not a video game critic then you should not have a problem liking this game. You see, gamers are always looking for a lot of new and innovative things in their games while the mainstream players may be happy with what they are familiar with. The good news is, if you are new to the series, you won’t know the difference.

I know I may have thrown you for a loop in that previous paragraph, because I am obviously writing about this game 9 years after it has been released. The good thing with playing an older game is it is easier to find tips and tricks around the web for passing a difficult level, the other thing is you can often get older games at a steal. Who knows, there may even be an old Playstation system laying around the house for you to get started with. If not, then you can pick one up for a steal at a rummage sale around town or even on eBay. Don’t worry if you cannot find a system to play this version of DDR, there are plenty more games in this series that you can pick up for current generation systems. Granted the entry cost will be more, but you can count on more new releases and features to be released on future games.

The list of songs available on Dance Dance Revolution Konamix are found below and I have noted the ones that need to be unlocked before you can play them. The songs are listed in alphabetical order.
