Breakfast TV arcade slot

[ukvac] Breakfast TV arcade slot
Hi

Don't know if anyone saw it (8-45 this monrning) but the Beeb had a bit
about the new arcade fad in Japan,

Don't know the name of the game as it was a large neon sign the TV camera
didn't pick up well, (Had Dance Dance revolution on the case) but it was
basically a dancing game which you controlled by footpads, you dance it,
dances on screen. It was all about hitting the right pad in the right
sequesnce as directed on screen. (If you've seen Bust-a-Move you know the
sort of thing I'm on about.). The Konami bod was saying it's about
teaching people to dance (yea right)

Imagine, it's a large two player version, appearing in the local pub, and
lagered up youths queing up to dance. (or rather jump around, and fall
off!!)

EERg..

Gavin

Will I didn't see the program but the copy me type games seems to be the in thing in Japan theres also Beat Mainia also by Konami. Its the same thing but it a DJ theme you have a record table and you have to copy the movements of the computer.

Electronic Twister!

Dear Namco
I've got a great idea for a video game...
