KONAMI unveils total body dancing to latest DanceDanceRevolution title for Wii™

SYDNEY, 24 February, 2011: Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH will release a new take on dancing on April 28th, when DanceDanceRevolution hottest party 4 steps out on Wii™.

The latest addition to the long-running series, DanceDanceRevolution hottest party 4 offers users the chance to match full-body movements in order to rack up high scores. The new game uses both the famed dance mat controller and the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk controllers. Players match the on-screen arrows with the corresponding footwork and arm movements.

This total movement is spotlighted perfectly in DanceDanceRevolution hottest party 4’s stunning Choreograph mode. This new idea is perfectly designed to appeal to both DDR novices and hardened dancers alike adding depth to the classic gameplay. Furthermore, owners of Nintendo’s Wii Balance Board can use it instead of a dance mat, with the board registering complete body movement.

DanceDanceRevolution hottest party 4 allows up to four players to get together and compete against each other. The game enjoys a stunning collection of suitably high-tempo tracks with 20 licensed tunes, including Lady Gaga’s classic ‘Bad Romance’, Paramore’s ‘CrushCrushCrush’ and the classic ‘Celebration’ from Kool and the Gang. There are also more than 30 specially-created tunes from KONAMI’s in-house team, all of which are designed to test the player’s co-ordination and rhythm.

With a wealth of game modes – including the eternally popular Calorie Counter system so users can watch the pounds drop off as they dance! – DanceDanceRevolution hottest party 4 is a stunning party game that absolutely anyone can enjoy. The party starts this April!
