14 DAY TRIAL // You might get a little shocked, like I am, when you hear that Konami's DanceDanceRevolution franchise is already ten years old! And, in order to have a proper celebration for the first decade of quality dancing, the game's developer and publisher decided to launch a new brand and community portal for DanceDanceRevolution which can be visited right now by clicking here.
The portal offers a host of features for the fans of the series including blog updates coming directly from the development team, the option for registered users to create their own personal profile pages and post videos or create their own blogs. Also, the most social DanceDanceRevolution fans all over the world should be happy since they can chat with one another and even join special forums. Basically, Konami's portal will be a true social network!
"As we celebrate this special anniversary, the time was right to provide a fun place online where our fans can share their love for the DanceDanceRevolution brand and also enjoy a host of special features, promotions, and activities that are certain to add to the allure of this special franchise," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing at Konami.
The newly released portal will also feature a live stats tracking option which can be linked to the profiles and scoreboards for DanceDanceRevolution Universe 2 for the Xbox 360. Through the website, Konami will also keep fans updated on all DanceDanceRevolution related news including upcoming product releases, local and national events, and more.
"For 10 years, DanceDanceRevolution has evolved from a video game into a pop culture icon. Millions of versions of the game have been sold, fan clubs have been formed, and the people who count themselves as members of the DanceDanceRevolution community continue to grow exponentially each year," added Crouts.
