One of the most popular arcade games ever has made its way to today's hottest gaming system. Dance Dance Revolution is now available for the very popular Nintendo Wii system. Much like the original arcade version, the home version of DDR flashes a series of directional arrows on-screen, while a particular song is played. Individual players are then required to step on a specific directional arrow on the pad that matches with the arrow on the screen. The more exact a player is in matching the arrows on-screen with the movement of his or her feet, the more points the player is awarded.

 

The home version of DDR game for Nintendo comes complete with its own Dance, Dance Revolution DDR mat for the Wii. The Dance, Dance Revolution DDR mat for the Wii is more portable, but it works in the same fashion as the footpad that is part of the arcade version of the DDR game. 

 

Individuals who wish to add to the competition while playing Dance, Dance Revolution can opt to purchase an extra Dance, Dance Revolution DDR mat for the Wii. With the additional mat, players can then compete and dance-off against each other instead of having to wait their turn to dance.

 

The Wii DDR dance mat is very sturdy and is designed to take on hours of punishment from both children and adults. The mat is padded enough to not result in pain or injury to the feet, yet thin enough to be folded up and put away when the dancing is done. Additionally, the Wii DDR dance mat also functions as a traditional controller that allows players to pause and start the game, as well as giving them the option of selecting from the various options that are part of the game.

 

While for the most part, the Dance, Dance Revolution DDR mat for the Wii is like the Nintendo Wii itself, designed to be used and played, manufacturers do make mention of several safety issues that players should take into account when participating. Since the mat is made of plastic, manufacturers recommend that players remove their shoes when jumping on the mat, as certain types of shoes can damage and tear the mat. In addition, manufacturers of the Wii pad also suggest that players remove their socks when using the mat, since players can easily slip off of the mat if they are not being careful.

 

The creative minds at Nintendo have truly dedicated themselves to making the gaming industry more playable and more interactive. With titles like Dance, Dance Revolution on the list of Wii games, as well as a variety of controllers and accessories to make the system more fun for the entire family, players are certain to find games and accessories that easily fit their gaming needs. So before you set off to challenge your friends in a DDR dance-off, make sure you bring along the Dance, Dance Revolution DDR mat for the Wii, and let your feet do the rest.
