Can someone show me a picture of that nurse thing?

Personally, I've ever played 6 panel DDR on one of the home mixes very early into my DDR skill level. I have a friend that is a total bemani music game addict and he had every playstation/playstation 2 version of DDR, so I do remember playing it once. I didn't really remember doing much with it, since I was only learning light/basic at the time.

It would definetely be interesting to play again, since I have definetely improved quite a lot after that time. I'm always looking for new challenges, or something to challenge the endurance level a lot more.

In terms of the Solo2k cabinets, I've only ever got the chance to play DDR: USA, DDR: Extreme and ITG 2. Its kind of funny that arcades would get rid of an arcade machine just because of an image that people can interept as an evil falic symbol.

I just don't understand, but if I played that song, with the nurse riding a syringe with drugs flying across the screen, its not going to make me want to go have sex with a nurse and start using needles and drugs.

If parents and people who let censorship play an important part in their lives are being so anal about that kind of image I'm surprised these people aren't getting pissy about a certain yu-gi-oh card, and banning their kids from playing yu-gi-oh and watching the show.

This is the card I'm talking about:

I'm sorry, but anytime this card is on the cartoon she is always riding that syringe like it is her best friend. I'll be honest I've never seen the video on the solo2k cabinet, so the image I posted here may not have any resemblance of the image the young lady is making reference to on this forum. When I look at this yu-gi-oh card its not going to want me want to have sex with a nurse or take drugs. I'm sure the same can be said for the video.

Anyway in terms of 6 panel DDR, I would definetely love to play it again. I guess it would open up an entire new skill level for myself, and personally I would like to see it back.

For DDR, it was different back then, though. It wasn't nearly close to as mainstream as it is now. DDR is so big and there are so many positive things that are recognized in it nowadays that even with "Little Bitch" on almost every machine out there, you never see a serious threat to remove all of them due to offensive content, because it makes so much money now that no one cares.

Back then though, it was a different story. DDR was popular but still small and targetable by overzealous parents, and that's what helped effectively kill off 6-panel.

ROFL I like that picture. I'm glad my mom isn't so worried about things like that.

I know I wish they still had it the arcades, but the only ddr at home I have is konamix.....

I played on a technomotion machine on 2 different occasions. I was not impressed with the 8 or 9 panel mode or any mode. Some of the modifiers it had you can see in In the Groove today, so that was kind of cool, but overall, small music selection, nothing noteworthy, and below par steps (in my opinion)

I'd like to see 6 panel come back. Getting good at it would give your audience yet another reason to say "Wow, your good!"

I think Pop n' stage needs a revival, 20 panel DDR baby.

but seriouly, IMO solo died because the songs sucked and the game was not good enuff to overcome that.(i'm talking solo 2K)

Bass mix is discusting. Bad songs. really really bad songs.
