North American DanceDanceRevolution Games: Difference between revisions

** A collection of 70 songs (plus 30 new DLC songs and 30 from ULTRAMIX), ULTRAMIX's sequel introduces a new interface involving a more folder-like sorting order for songs, with smaller banner sizes but keeping the Groove Radar. Songlist has a much bigger emphasis on new licenses, original songs, and new crossovers than ULTRAMIX. In fact, only 19 of the 69 songs are from previous Japanese DDR games. This is the first DDR title to feature the collaboration with ''A Different Drum'' records. New, higher-res generic background videos are introduced, though a few of the licenses and originals have their own videos as well. Beginner charts are added (even for Double, a first in a DDR game), but scores obtained in the mode are not saved. 6 new song packs are downloadable as well, again each with 5 songs. Overall ULTRAMIX2 contains 23 new licenses, 12 (6 DLC) new CS songs, and 15 (14 DLC) new BEMANI crossovers.  

** A collection of 71 songs (plus 17 new DLC songs and 60 from previous ULTRAMIX titles), ULTRAMIX3 continues the trend of original songs ULTRAMIX2 did, with an updated interface featuring a bubble background motif. The number of earlier Japanese DDR songs is even lower: just 15. [[BYE BYE BABY BALLOON]] finally receives song difficulty levels in its first appearance since MAX. Challenge difficulty (named Oni) is added, but isn't displayed on screen; pressing down on songs featuring the difficulty is the only way to access it. ULTRAMIX3 also contains a quest mode, the first in the series. It's based around a map, where you go to cities (costing points to travel) to earn enough points to win over the crowd. New song packs are lowered to just 3 (of 5 songs each), along with 2 temporarily free songs you could download. Several songs are shared with EXTREME 2, which was released the same year. However, the dedicated videos from that game are only used here with the 2 licenses that were also new to ''Karaoke Revolution'' Party, another game released that year. Overall ULTRAMIX3 features 35 (3 DLC) new licenses, 10 (5 DLC) new CS songs, and 10 (3 DLC) new BEMANI crossovers.

** A collection of 76 songs (plus 10 new DLC songs and 77 from previous ULTRAMIX titles), this is the final game in the ULTRAMIX series. By this time the Xbox 360 was already out for a year; thus this game was sold at reduced price of $29.99, versus the usual $40-50 price tags. Only 16 old DDR songs appear in this version; the rest is all brand-new material. Several new modes of play are added, most notably V-Edit mode, where you can script background sequences in a similar manner to how you write notes in Edit Mode, and Power mode, where you play a megamix consisting of multiple songs. The Quest mode has been revamped: it is now based on a 3-layered circle. You earn points in streets, then use those points to have dance battles with characters in clubs. There are only 2 new song packs this time around, again each with 5 songs. Overall ULTRAMIX4 features 36 (3 DLC) new licenses, 16 (3 DLC) new CS songs, and 4 new BEMANI crossovers.
